Orthotics Centre in Singapore
At The Foot Practice, our orthotics centre in Singapore is podiatrist-led and biomechanics-based. We assess the foot, ankle, and lower limb as a system, then design orthoses that improve alignment, redistribute pressure, and support more efficient movement. We also review and fine-tune your devices so they keep working as symptoms settle and activity changes.
If you are searching for an orthotics centre in Singapore, you are usually dealing with pain, recurring overload, or feet that do not cope with daily life. Orthotics can help, but only when they are prescribed based on a precise diagnosis and designed to match your body, your footwear, and how you move.
What an Orthotics Centre Does
An orthotics centre like The Foot Practice Orthoses Lab provides clinical assessment and device-based support for foot and lower limb problems driven by load, alignment, or repetitive strain. Orthoses are inserts or braces that alter the transmission of forces through the foot and leg. They can offload painful areas, improve stability, and reduce stress on joints and tendons.
Orthoses are not a substitute for diagnosis. Two people can share the same symptom for different reasons. Our goal is to identify your driver first, then use orthoses as part of a broader care plan that may also include footwear changes and targeted exercises.
Why Choose a Podiatrist-Led Orthotics Centre in Singapore
Common Issues Orthotics Can Help Manage
Orthoses are commonly used to support:
- Heel and arch pain linked to plantar fascia overload
- Forefoot pain, hot spots, and recurrent callus buildup
- Flat feet or overpronation fatigue, and high arch pressure points
- Tendon overload patterns, such as Achilles, posterior tibial, or peroneal symptoms
- Lower limb strain where foot mechanics contribute to discomfort
- Pressure management needs for people living with diabetes
If your pain is persistent, recurs with activity, or focuses in one area, an orthotic assessment is worth considering.Â
Our Orthotics Assessment Process
A good orthotic starts with a good assessment, and we keep the process practical.
Clinical assessment first
We take a detailed history of symptoms, footwear habits, sports, and work demands. We then assess foot structure, joint range of motion, muscle strength, and key alignment relationships, including the forefoot-to-rearfoot position. We also look for signs of a limb-length discrepancy and limitations in hip and knee flexibility.
RehaWalk® pressure sensor treadmill gait analysis
RehaWalk® helps us see where you load and how that load changes through each step. This pressure and timing data support clearer decisions about offloading strategies, posting, and the level of control required. It also provides a baseline for tracking progress after your orthoses are issued.
Footwear assessment and fitting
Orthoses must work inside shoes. We review the shoes you actually wear and match the orthosis profile to the available space, so the device supports you without crowding your toes. We provide a break in the plan and schedule a review for adjustments where needed.
Ankle-Foot Orthoses
An ankle-foot orthosis provides additional stability when an in-shoe device is not enough. This may be considered for significant tendon dysfunction, post-injury instability, or when balance and control require more support.
AFO Orthotics
Custom orthoses are prescribed when off-the-shelf insoles are not enough, or when your mechanics and symptoms require precision. They are commonly used for persistent heel pain, recurring forefoot overload, and multi-site issues involving the foot and lower limb.
Children’s orthotics are prescribed with growth, school activity, and shoe fit in mind. The goal is comfort and function, not over-correction. We assess whether symptoms are driven by flexibility, strength, or loading, then recommend an option your child can wear consistently.
Diabetic orthotics focus on pressure redistribution and skin protection. If you live with diabetes, small areas of overload can escalate quickly. Our approach aligns orthoses with screening and footwear advice to reduce risk and support safe activity.
Women’s shoe insoles focus on low-profile stability for flats, work shoes, and heels, without excessive bulk. They can also reduce forefoot pressure on long-standing days.
Sports Orthoses
Sports orthotics are designed for running and court sports, where control through fatigue and pressure distribution are key. We match the device to your sport and your footwear, then guide progression back to training.

What To Expect after Getting Orthoses
Most people notice changes in comfort and stability within the first two to four weeks, but adjustment is normal. A mild awareness of support is expected. Persistent sharp pain, new numbness, or worsening symptoms are reasons to return for review. Orthoses work best when you use them consistently, pair them with suitable shoes, and follow any provided strengthening or mobility plan.
Book an Orthotics Assessment
If you want an orthotics centre Singapore patients choose for biomechanics, footwear guidance, and practical outcomes, book an assessment at The Foot Practice. Bring the shoes you wear most, and any old insoles or orthoses you have tried. We will assess your movement, explain the findings clearly, and recommend the most suitable orthoses pathway for your goals.
