Orthotics aren’t a quick fix on their own, but they can play a useful role as part of a bigger plan.

At Complete Recovery Physio, we use Vasyli orthotics to support foot and lower limb mechanics. These aren’t bespoke insoles, but well-designed prefabricated options that we select and adapt based on your individual needs. Importantly, we don’t rely on orthotics in isolation — they’re combined with targeted rehab such as strengthening, mobility work, and gait retraining to achieve lasting results.

They’re commonly used to help guide movement patterns (for example, excessive pronation where the foot rolls inward too much) or to reduce load through a painful area. By improving alignment, they can ease symptoms not just in the foot, but also in the knee, hip, or lower back.

What happens next:

• You’ll start with a full physiotherapy assessment to determine if orthotics are appropriate for you
• If suitable, we’ll order the right pair and arrange a follow-up appointment to fit and adjust them properly
• Orthotics typically start from around £49 per pair, with usual appointment fees for assessment and fitting

Orthotics aren’t intended as a permanent solution — they’re a short- to medium-term aid used when clinically appropriate. If you’re dealing with foot, ankle, or lower limb pain, we’ll assess everything as a whole and decide together whether they should form part of your treatment plan.
