The problem with traditional orthoses

If you’ve ever tried standard insoles or even traditional custom orthoses, you’ll know they can be bulky and uncomfortable…and not always effective. Traditional orthoses are often made using static measurements or casts taken of your feet when they’re not bearing weight – an approach that doesn’t tell the full story of how your feet function when you’re actually walking, running, or going about your daily activities in Helensburgh.

The result? Insoles that might not address the real issues causing your discomfort.

Phits Orthoses Helensburgh: the 3D printed revolution

At The Lomond Clinic in Helensburgh, we’ve embraced the future of foot care with Phits custom 3D printed orthoses. What makes these different from traditional options? 

It all starts with how we analyse your feet.

Rather than taking a static mould, we use our advanced Footscan technology to capture thousands of data points as you walk across special pressure plates. This dynamic assessment shows us exactly how your feet interact with the ground during movement – revealing pressure points, imbalances, and gait abnormalities with incredible precision (down to 0.1mm!).

Using this data, we design Phits orthoses that are tailored specifically to your unique biomechanics. The designs are then 3D printed using lightweight but durable materials, creating insoles that offer superior support exactly where you need it most.

Why choose Phits orthoses Helensburgh?

We think there are several compelling reasons why you should consider Phits orthoses from The Lomond Clinic:

1. Precision fit 

Because they’re designed using dynamic analysis of your walking pattern and 3D printed to exact specifications, Phits orthoses Helensburgh provide unparalleled accuracy in addressing your specific foot issues.

2. Lightweight comfort

At half the weight of traditional orthoses, Phits insoles won’t weigh you down or make your shoes feel cumbersome.

3. Versatility

Phits custom orthoses are designed to fit in virtually any footwear – from trainers to dress shoes – meaning you don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort (or shell out on new shoes).

4. Durability

The advanced 3D printing technology creates custom orthoses that maintain their shape and support for years, not months. You can even replace the cover to extend their use.

6. Sustainability

Made using 100% recycled materials with minimal waste in the manufacturing process, Phits orthoses are an environmentally responsible choice.

7. Local availability 

As the only provider of Phits orthoses in Argyll and Bute, The Lomond Clinic offers this advanced technology exclusively to residents in Helensburgh and the surrounding region.
