Angela Roxas 3 weeks ago

I can't thank Northernhay clinic enough for the custom insoles they made for my flat feet! Since using them, I’ve had significantly less foot pain, and no longer deal with overpronation or rolling ankles. It’s been a game-changer for my daily comfort and stability. Jack from Northernhay clinic took the time to understand my issues, and his expertise and attention to detail truly made all the difference. Highly recommend!

I was recommended bringing my son here after being told he had flat feet and would benefit from insoles in his shoes. Jack and his staff were very helpful throughout the whole process.

Wish I had made an appointment with Jack sooner! Had suffered with my foot pain for years and within days of using my orthotics; along with all the advice and aftercare, my symptoms were pretty much gone. Honestly, I didn’t think orthotics would have such a big impact, I could instantly feel how my whole lower limb was working differently.
I couldn’t recommend the clinic more highly. From the friendly service provided tailored to your individual care and the level of expertise.

I had pain in my feet with plantar fasciitis for over a year which had become gradually worse and was struggling to even walk. I had seen the doctor done the exercises been to the mobility clinic , and no better. I visited Northernhay clinic twice. I had great advice and custom insoles made for my feet.The difference is unbelievable and I highly recommend them.
