Footscan & Custom Orthotics
Discover Effective Plantar Fasciitis Treatment, Flat Feet Solutions, and More
Unlock Pain-Free Movement with Advanced Biomechanics and Custom Orthotics
Our footscan assessment offers a detailed understanding of your foot mechanics and pressure distribution while standing, walking, or running. Whether you’re dealing with foot pain, shin splints, or need support selecting the right orthopaedic shoes, our advanced technology identifies the root causes of your discomfort.
During the assessment, you’ll walk or run across our specialised platform equipped with pressure sensors. These sensors collect data on how your feet interact with the ground, highlighting issues such as:
– Flat feet
– Pronation (inward rolling of the foot)
– Supination (outward rolling of the foot)
– High arches
– Uneven weight distribution
This insight allows us to create personalised solutions like custom orthotics, flat foot insoles, or orthopaedic footwear, tailored to your specific needs.
Whether you’re looking for flat feet treatment, relief from foot pain, or premium orthopaedic footwear, our expert team is here to help. Book your gait analysis today and take the first step towards better movement and long-term comfort.
Comprehensive Gait Analysis
If you’ve searched for “gait analysis near me” or wondered if runners need gait analysis, our industry-leading pressure measurement technology delivers detailed insights into your movement patterns. It’s the first step in addressing pain or injury.
Precise Load Distribution Assessment
Our indoor track enables us to observe your natural movement and pinpoint abnormalities contributing to conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, or issues requiring sports orthotics.
Injury Prevention and Recovery
By analysing your gait and load distribution, we recommend effective solutions to prevent future injuries, relieve pain, and improve performance, including support for shin splints treatment and bespoke orthopaedic foot insoles.
Custom 3D-Printed Orthotics
Using footscan data, we design Phits™ insoles, the world’s first data-driven 3D-printed orthotics. These precision-engineered orthotics provide unparalleled support and comfort for daily activities, running, or sports.
FAQs
-
What is the best treatment for plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis can often be treated with a combination of custom orthotics, gait analysis, and specialised orthopaedic footwear. These help to relieve pressure on the plantar fascia and improve foot mechanics.
-
How does gait analysis help with foot pain?
Gait analysis identifies abnormal movement patterns, pressure points, and imbalances that contribute to foot pain. This information helps create tailored solutions like custom orthotics or flat foot insoles to alleviate discomfort.
-
What is a gait and movement analysis?
Utilising our 39m indoor track the Footscan® system measures the pressure distribution under each foot in real time and the shift in body weight while standing, walking and running. The Footscan® uses over 16,000 sensors providing valuable insights into pressure distribution, gait analysis and other aspects of foot biomechanics. Through 3D printing technology, the orthotics (insoles) are tailored to the individuals unique foot shape and needs.

-
Do I need running gait analysis if I’m a runner?
Yes, running gait analysis is essential for runners. It detects inefficiencies in your movement and helps prevent injuries like shin splints. It also informs the selection of sports orthotics or the right running shoes.
-
Can flat feet be treated effectively?
Flat feet treatment often involves custom orthotics or flat foot insoles that provide proper arch support. Gait analysis can help identify the best solution for your specific needs.
-
How can I prevent shin splints?
Shin splints treatment and prevention include using sports orthotics, undergoing gait analysis, and wearing orthopaedic footwear that supports your natural movement patterns.
-
What is the difference between orthopaedic footwear and regular shoes?
Orthopaedic footwear is designed to provide superior support, align your feet, and improve gait mechanics. It is especially beneficial for conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and general foot pain.
-
Can flat foot insoles help runners?
Yes, flat foot insoles provide extra arch support, reducing strain on the feet and legs. Combined with running gait analysis, they can enhance performance and prevent injuries.
-
How do sports orthotics benefit athletes?
Sports orthotics are designed to improve performance, reduce injury risk, and support proper biomechanics during physical activities. They’re ideal for runners, athletes, and anyone with active lifestyles.
-
What are Orthotics?
Orthotics (Insoles) are devices that are inserted into shoes to provide additional support for the foot and equalise the distribution of pressure placed on the foot when standing, walking, or running. Orthotics can assist with a range of concerns from reliving back pain caused by standing for long periods, to improving the performance of your foot during a time trial, or delivering power through your golf swing.
This is reflected in the meaning of ‘orthotics’, which is derived from the Greek term meaning ‘to align’ or ‘to straighten’.
-
Who are Phits™ Orthotics?
Phits™ orthotics are the world’s first, and leading, 3D orthotics. They design, craft, and supply custom orthotics to our clients, as well as world-class athletes such as Sir Mo Farah and Paula Radcliffe.
Using the data gathered from the Biomechanical Assessment, each pair of orthotics are custom made to perfectly fit your feet, provide the support you need, reduce the likelihood of injury and improve your performance. With a specific focus across a number of sports, here at Momentum we have been working with Gait and Motion and Phits™ since 2018.
