What Are Phits 3D Printed Orthotics & Who Are They For
Phits orthotics are advanced, fully customised insoles created using 3D printing technology. Unlike standard insoles, they are designed using dynamic gait analysis, meaning they are based on how your body transfers weight upwards through your feet and actually moves rather than just a static foot shape.
This allows for a more accurate and functional solution, tailored to your individual biomechanics.
These orthotics are suitable for:
Individuals with foot pain or discomfort
Runners, individual sport players and active individuals needing performance support
People with recurring lower limb injuries
Those experiencing issues with posture or movement
People with lower limb pain including ankle, knee, hip and lumbar spine pain
Anyone looking to improve comfort in daily activities
For a broader understanding of how movement impacts injury, you can explore our functional movement assessments.
Why Gait Analysis Is Essential For Effective Orthotics
Your feet are the foundation of movement and your body responds to how the feet connect with the ground. How they function affects everything above them, including your knees, hips and spine.
Through gait analysis in Knutsford, I assess how your body moves during walking or running. This allows for a deeper understanding of:
Load distribution through the foot
Movement efficiency and control
Areas of excessive stress or compensation
Biomechanical imbalances affecting performance
Assessing symmetry within your biomechanical system
Addressing the cause of foot pain rather than just symptoms is key to long-term improvement.
By combining gait analysis with physiotherapy expertise, orthotics are designed to support natural movement rather than restrict it.
The Benefits Of 3D Printed Orthotics
Phits orthotics offer a number of advantages compared to traditional insoles.
Precision fit based on dynamic data
Improved comfort and support
Reduced pressure on painful areas
Enhanced movement efficiency
Lower risk of recurring injuries
Suitable for sport-specific footwear
Lightweight and durable design
For those involved in sport, these benefits can translate directly into improved performance and reduced downtime.
Our Orthotic Assessment & Design Process
Each orthotic is created through a structured and clinically informed process.
Initial Clinical Consultation
We begin with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, activity level and goals. This helps identify how your foot function may be contributing to your concerns.
Dynamic Gait Analysis
Using advanced technology, I assess how your feet and body move in real time. This provides accurate data on pressure distribution and movement patterns.
Biomechanical Assessment
This includes evaluating joint mobility, muscle function and alignment, ensuring a complete understanding of how your feet react and transfer movement upward in the body (works together).
Custom Orthotic Design
Your orthotics are then designed using 3D printing technology, ensuring they match your individual movement needs and footwear requirements.
Fitting & Ongoing Support
Once fitted, I provide guidance on use, adaptation and integration into your daily routine or sport. Adjustments can be made where needed. Annual re assessments are advised for ongoing best outcomes.
This process may be combined with musculoskeletal physiotherapy to support full recovery.
A Movement-Focused Approach To Foot & Lower Limb Health
Our orthotics solutions in Knutsford are not used in isolation. It has a team approach with the Piths 3D team at Gait and Motion Technology Clinicians & Partners. View top athletes using Piths 3D systems and become serious about your performance here.
They form part of a wider approach that considers:
Movement patterns and compensation
Strength and flexibility
Joint function and control
Overall biomechanics
This ensures that orthotics support your body rather than simply masking symptoms.
Where appropriate, treatment may also include acupuncture, joint mobilisation, fascia & soft tissue release or rehabilitation exercises & balance work to improve outcomes.
Common Problems 3D Orthotics Can Help Address
Phits orthotics are commonly used to manage:
Plantar fasciitis
Arch pain and foot fatigue
Overpronation or supination
Knee, hip or lower back pain linked to foot mechanics
Running-related injuries
Pressure-related discomfort in footwear
For athletes, particularly golfers, optimising foot mechanics can significantly improve stability and performance. Piths 3D scanning can also be used to see how you transfer weight during your swing to better understand your golf swing.Learn more about this within our golf injury management services.
