Custom Foot Orthoses
Custom Foot Orthoses are a key treatment option in Musculoskeletal Podiatry, helping to support movement, reduce mechanical stress, and assist in managing a wide range of foot, postural and lower-limb conditions. At Northernhay Clinic, our devices are designed to your specific biomechanical needs, daily activities and foot structure, offering a truly individualised approach to orthotic therapy.
Our specialist team has more than 30 years’ experience prescribing custom orthoses for the general public, professional athletes and military personnel.
Why Our Orthoses Are Different
Most orthotics are designed by external technicians working from standard design conventions. At Northernhay Clinic, your devices are clinically designed onsite by Jonathan Palmer and Jack Boulter using advanced digital methods. This gives us complete control over the shaping, support profile and mechanical function of every orthotic we prescribe.
This level of clinician-led design is uncommon — and allows us to create orthotics that match our exact clinical intentions with exceptional accuracy.
Our Digital CAD-CAM Workflow
1. Digitally Corrected 3D Foot Scans
Your assessment begins with high-resolution digital scans. We apply the necessary clinical corrections and reconstruct the scans in 3D, creating a highly accurate digital model of your foot.
2. Onsite Digital Design by Clinicians
Every orthotic is digitally engineered onsite by Jonathan Palmer and Jack Boulter using advanced CAD-CAM orthotic design software. This clinician-led digital workflow allows us to design anything from subtle, minimalist corrections to precise, high-control prescription devices, depending entirely on your biomechanical needs.
At Northernhay Clinic, we emphasise that it is the design stage — the clinical reasoning and CAD-CAM engineering — not the 3D printing itself, that determines the true function of a custom orthotic.
3. Specialist UK Manufacturing
Your orthotic design is produced by our expert UK fabrication partners using medical-grade PA12 nylon. Padding and top-covers are added only when clinically indicated to achieve comfort, durability and biomechanical efficiency.
What This Means for You
Our approach ensures that the orthotic:
- reflects the precise clinical design intended by your podiatrist
- offers high mechanical precision with low bulk
- supports long-term comfort, movement efficiency and symptom management
- integrates into your overall treatment plan
Orthotic therapy is most effective when used with the correct dosing and frequency, which your clinician will outline clearly as part of your personalised management strategy.

What our patients say
Back again for a review 4 years later. Their service is exceptional, so friendly and professional. I've been totally pain free with their orthotics and so easy to get another pair made up as my old ones are getting worn again. They fit perfectly. I'll be a customer for years to come. Thank you Jack
