Cycling

When it comes to cycling orthotics we literally view a cyclist and their bike as one. This is because the sport creates a bond between man and machine where they become one mechanical system. It presents our clinicians with a unique set of biomechanical challenges which our technicians translate into a wide range of effective customised orthotics.

How cycling can have an impact on the body

Poor foot positioning within the cycling shoe can have a direct impact on pedalling performance and can also affect the whole body/bike interface, creating unwanted high forces at the knees and hips as well as a muscular imbalance. A common occurrence with cycling is hot spots under the soles of the feet. With certain foot structures the pressures created over the ball of the foot can be uncomfortable and create high localised pressure points.

What can we do for you?

Looking at the foot/shoe/pedal interface we can use orthotics to ensure optimal alignment of the joints within the foot which can reduce forces applied to the foot/ankle and the knee joint.  We can also use orthotics to effectively redistribute any areas of high force on the under surface of the foot to assist in the prevention of hot spots.
