This is the band of plantar fascia that we have underneath our foot and it attaches into the heel area here on the foot.

We’re going to help to reduce the tensile stress and impact of the fascia to the heel bone by using this one single sheet of plantar fascia tape.

Now we’re also going to combine it with toe socks and I’ll explain in a moment why that’s very important.

Here we keep the toes aligned and independent because here you can see the attachment of the fascia into each individual toe.

So we want to keep the toes stretched nice and straight and we use that by combining it with independent toe socks.

We’re fitting an orthotic today for a patient with a bunion.

We have the Wave orthotic system which is what we use for measurements of bunions.

We take photos and the patient also gets an ink less impression of the feet at the start of the treatment.

It is ink less so it does not leave any marks on the feet for the convenience of the patient.

As you can see it will be assessed at the end of the treatment. We compare this before and after treatment.

As well as impressions of the feet we take outline drawings of the feet so that we can check these before and after.

It is also a good tool for measuring the feet when it comes to footwear fitting.

The patient can choose the colour of orthotic, here they have chosen Hatta fort colour.

Now here are the finished products.

The orthotics are going underneath the foot to get the perfect fit.

As you can see, the big toe has straight alignment.

It is very useful with toe socks so that the toes are able to go back to their straight position.

And we are fitting them in a wide barefoot style shoe that accommodates all the toes to a straight position.

The patient will now have a little walk in the shoes to make sure they are comfortable.

They are quite steady on their feet and this is the finished product.
