How it works
Excessive foot pronation increases tibial torsional stress during running. Orthotics providing medial arch support and motion control may reduce this abnormal tibial loading.
Worn-out footwear is a common and easily addressed MTSS risk factor. Evidence for custom orthotics vs semi-custom is mixed — shock-absorbing insoles may be as effective as custom devices.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
