Step up your comfort: Phits custom orthoses at The Lomond Clinic
We’re always on the lookout for innovative ways to help you move better, feel better and live better. That’s why we’re absolutely delighted to introduce Phits custom orthoses to The Lomond Clinic – available for the first time in Helensburgh. In fact, for the first time in Argyll and Bute!
If you’ve ever suffered from foot, knee, hip or back pain, you’ll know how much it can affect your everyday life. And our excellent physiotherapy and sports rehab team now have a new service at their disposal – precision, tailor-made orthotic insoles.
Phits custom orthoses are used by elite athletes, but are suitable for all kinds of people – not just Paula Radcliffe! If you’re a keen runner or into sports, spend hours on your feet at work, or simply find walking a bit uncomfortable, Phits could be a game-changer for you.
What makes Phits special?
‘Orthoses’ is the technical term for supports, and what we’re talking about with Phits is a kind of insole – it’s a type of support you put into your shoe to provide you with support, comfort or relief.
But unlike off-the-shelf or traditional insoles, Phits orthoses are created using our amazing Footscan technology. Footscan captures thousands of data points as you walk. This gives us a dynamic, incredibly accurate picture of exactly how your feet move – which is a lot more useful (and realistic) than a static, old-school impression. That digital model representing your moving feet is then used to craft your insoles.
The result is incredibly accurate, lightweight 3D-printed orthoses that are tailor-made for you and the way you move. Which means they fit you perfectly and provide support precisely where you need it. Even better, they’re half the weight of traditional orthotics – but also incredibly durable. And they slip comfortably into almost any type of shoe, so they should fit your trainers, your work shoes, even walking boots or going out shoes. So you can carry on life as you want, wearing what you want, getting the support you need and no one would even know you’re using them!

Perfect partners with our Physio services
What we love the most about bringing Phits to The Lomond Clinic (other than the sheer genius of how they are made) is how perfectly it fits in with our existing physiotherapy and sports rehab services. Our chartered physiotherapists can now offer a truly comprehensive package of care – from precise diagnosis of movement issues using Footscan advanced gait analysis, to designing your custom orthoses, to providing hands-on treatment and exercise programmes that address the root cause of your problems.
It’s all part of our holistic approach to provide joined-up, bigger-picture services to help you feel your very best.
Who can benefit from Phits?
Phits can be used by a wide range of people – from elite athletes, to people who are on their feet all day, and anyone who feels discomfort when they walk or run. Typical users include:
- Anyone recovering from foot or leg injuries
- Runners, athletes and sportspeople looking to improve performance and prevent injuries
- People suffering from chronic foot, knee, hip, or lower back pain
- Those with flat feet, high arches, or other structural foot issues
