Foot Scan Assessment & Phits 3D Printed Orthotics

The South Down Foot Clinic is the first Podiatry clinic in Northern Ireland to introduce the latest Footscan technology and Phits Insoles; the world's first 3D printed orthotics which are specifically designed from your dynamic gait analysis.

Footscan is a fantastic clinical assessment tool for Podiatrists as it allows you to accurately and objectively assess posture, balance, functional movement screening, gait and running.

Our Footscan system has over 4,000 high speed sensors which provides detailed plantar pressure information and accurately captures and analyses your movement which simply cannot be seen with a treadmill or the human eye. This helps us to identify and treat the causes of injury, whilst offering the best advice to reduce the risk of future injuries.

Footscan provides a range of visual analysis screens which allow us to slow down your movement to identify even the smallest asymmetries or abnormalities.  This unique system allows us to design bespoke orthotics specific to your needs based on real time dynamic data.

We are able to choose from a range of top covers, including the incredible D3O material which provides optimal comfort, world leading impact protection and energy return. Orthotics aren't just for foot pain, they can assist with a range of conditions and also act as a preventative measure to minimise the risk of injury. Orthotics can be designed specific to your sport whether it is football, golf, cycling or ski footwear to help improve performance and movement efficiency.
