Who are Sport Orthotics?
Sport Orthotics are an award winning team of state registered Orthotists and Podiatrists, who are specialists in biomechanical assessments, insoles/orthotics and orthopaedic bracing for the entire body.
Our Orthotic and biomechanics clinics are based in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire and also our Glasgow city centre dedicated orthotics and biomechanical assessment clinic (in Finnieston around 100 metres from Charing Cross). We provide biomechanical assessment at both our Hamilton and Glasgow clinics.
What are orthotics and what can orthotics do for me?
Orthotics are most commonly used in the form of insoles (or foot orthotics or orthoses) in footwear to help control the mechanics of the foot when people walk or run. However, orthotics (or an orthosis) is the proper term given to supports that are applied in any area of the body to help protect, mobilise or control the body. Our specialist Orthotists and Podiatrists within our biomechanics clinics in Hamilton South Lanarkshire and also Glasgow city centre are specifically trained in assessment and manufacture of custom orthotics for their patients.
Our Orthotic lab
A unique aspect of our orthotic clinical service is that to compliment our biomechanical assessment service we have our own on site orthotic lab in Hamilton (near Glasgow) which enables us to manufacture, adjust and repair your orthotics even while you wait! This means that should you require your orthotics manufactured at the same time as your biomechanical assessment we can do this.
Using our own custom built orthotic lab on site at our orthotics
and biomechanical assessment clinic in Hamilton (near
Glasgow) you will not have the frustration of having orthotics sent
backwards and forwards to a supplier to get them comfortable, we do
it while you are in clinic on the same day. Not only that but our
base at the Treatment Hub in Hamilton (near Glasgow) you will also
have access to Physiotherapists, Podiatrists (Chiropodists), and
Sports Therapists, who work together to achieve the best possible
care. For more information click on the

Our fully comprehensive service includes a full repair and
refurishment service for orthotics from all over the country. We
receive orthotics from people and professionals other than our own
manufcatured orthotics. Although our main
base is in our biomechanics clinic near Glasgow we manufacture and

What is a biomechanical
assessment?
A biomechanical assessment is a specialist assessment undertaken to
assess the mechanics of movement to establish possible causes for
aches, pains and discomfort of the body. The biomechanical
assessment is done to understand the root cause of problems to
understand the correct approach to treating these
problems.
It is very important that the biomechanical assessment is tailored to you, any underlying problems you may have and your activity. For example the way any clinician should assess a long distance runner should not be the same as someone who has had a stroke, or a child with cerebral palsy.
Our Podiatrists and Orthotists at our biomechanics clinic in Hamilton and Glasgow have specialist knowledge and ensure that your biomechanical assessment is appropriate to the patient, their activity level and nature of their problem. Some more in depth information on the type of biomechanical assessments provided are given below. Please click on the pictures below for more information
