 Sport Orthotics
are a team of state registered Orthotists, specialists in biomechanical insoles/orthotics and orthopaedic sports
bracing for the entire body. Our Orthotic and biomechanics clinic is based in Hamilton near Glasgow in
Scotland. Sport Orthotics prides itself
on the use of high performance products and the latest biomechanical assessment technology. The same products as those
used by elite athletes such as the German Olympic teams and Bayern Munich FC. We provide a friendly and professional service for people of all levels of
activity in the Glasgow, Lanarkshire and West of Scotland areas.
A unique aspect of our orthotic clinical
service is that 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!
Using our own custom built lab on site at our 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.
We use the latest technology for our patients and are proud
to have introduced the Medilogic pressure analysis system to our practice. This means we can actually measure the success
of our orthotics and is a valuable tool in our assessment of biomechanics. This system is quite different from all other systems
commonly used as it measures the forces on the foot inside the shoe. No other Glasgow or indeed Scottish private orthotic
clinic can offer this level of analysis within their private orthotic and biomechanics clinic.
Sport Orthotics
is the only private orthotic practice using this system in both Glasgow and Scotland, another reason why we feel we offer
the best service in the country.
This is why many professional sports clubs including SPL football teams and running
clubs in the Glasgow and Lanarkshire area use us as their preferred provider of biomechanical assessments and orthotics.
The most recent recognition of our quality service is that our clinicians have been selected to provide orthotic
and biomechanical assessment consultation at the London Olympics in 2012. We are the only Glasgow based private orthotic
and biomechanical assessment practice to have been selected for this.
This medilogic pressure analysis system allows
us to directly measure the pressure going through the various parts of the foot to understand why you may have pain in a certain
area.
This is measured within the shoe and as such we can actually measure how well your
orthotics perform allowing us to provide the best possible assessment and outcome.

What Conditions Can We Treat? What is a State Registered Orthotist? An Orthotist must be registered with
the Health Professionals Council (HPC) and hold a recognised qualification in Orthotics and Prosthetics. This qualification ensures that the orthotist has specialist knowledge
in the assessment, design, fabrication and application of any orthotics; biomechanical insoles/orthotics, braces and anatomical
supports.
