Marathon Running Injury Clinics
Custom fitted prescription orthotics insoles can be supplied and fitted for runners who overpronate and develop common injuries such as achilles tendonitis, shinsplints, runners knee, knee pain, IT band inflammation, plantar fasciitis, blisters, foot pain, heel pain, calf strains and pulled muscles. A biomechanical assessment and video gait analysis can determine if you need orthotics
Overpronating runners will develop injuries when they begin to step up to distances beyond 10k due to the increased mileage.
Poor biomechanics of the lower limbs and feet will not be able to cope with the repeated foot strike faults and injuries will follow.
Many practitioners fit orthotics these days but care must be taken to ensure the correction is designed and bespoke to your individual requirements.
Orthotics have many names, footbeds, foot inserts, shoe inserts, orthosis, insoles and arch supports but to be sure you get a device that allows you to run without discomfort or blisters. You need prescription orthotics measured and fitted correctly.
We favor semi rigid orthotics which offer an element of stability and biomechanical correction whilst having the flexibility when foot striking to allow the foot to perform its natural pronating activity.

Stability Running Shoes have limitations as they do not cater for someone with feet that have different prescriptions between the left and right foot. Most people will have a different prescription on each foot, so the "off the shelf" running shoe only goes partly towards correcting an overpronating problem.
Next thing to look at is, the fact that if you need biomechanical correction and should be wearing orthotics, then you should wear them all the time!
Wearing correction via a running pair of trainers alone is no good, it means you are only wearing correction for the time you have the trainers on!
Your body will undergo changes when you alter your relationship with the ground via the stability running shoes. As soon as you take them off your body will revert back again, which means your body will constantly be in a state of flux and result in injuries when you run extended distances.
The answer is to have prescription orthotics worn in all your footwear and then your body will have the correction it needs all the time. You can then purchase neutral trainers and transfer your orthotic correction between each set of footwear. Speak to the experts who know about running and running Injuries

Orthotics
2010 Virgin London Marathon Runners may need orthotic insoles or inserts fitted into their running shoes in order to avoid a running injury. Marathon training advice and the location of a local sports injury clinic is useful for novice runners who may want a sports massage.
Running long distances on hard road surfaces can be hard on the lower limbs and feet resulting in an overuse injury. Training for races such as the 2010 Virgin London Marathon requires many hours running on the road and if you overpronate the chances are that you will develop a running injury.
Custom or prescription orthotics are the answer and should be fitted into your running trainers and normal daily footwear. Orthotics for running are in common use by marathon runners. Some stability training shoes could be referred to as orthotics shoes. Orthotics for plantar fasciitis and orthotics for children are often suggested when heel pain or foot pain is experienced.
Flat feet and dropped arches need support when running marathons and Atlas Prescription Orthotics are the answer. Feet that pronate excessively will lead to a variety of common running injuries such as plantar faciitis (heel pain), achilles tendonitis, patella tendonitis, runners knee, knee pain from patella misalignment, shinsplints, calf strains, pulled muscles and I T Band syndrome.

Prescription Foot Orthotics from Atlas Sports Injury Clinic in Birmingham is a good financial investment for runners. These cost effective orthotic insoles provide correction and stability for feet that pronate, preventing foot pain.
Atlas also have a Running Injury Clinic in Tamworth, Staffordshire where you can also be fitted with prescription orthotics
Fitted correctly the custom orthotic insoles will give a lifetime of biomechanical correction in the lower limbs, provide foot arch support for dropped arches which give the appearance of flat feet and help prevent running injuries.
In simple terms, a functional orthotic is a precisely made balancing device that fits into your footwear to modify and improve foot function by controlling excessive or unnecessary motion while standing, walking or running, and are designed to treat, adjust, and support various biomechanical foot disorders.
Some orthotics are simple, commercially made devices, often referred to as insoles, that are sold over the counter in chemists.
The most effective orthotics, however, are custom made prescription devices that are crafted to meet the specific needs of a particular individual.
Our custom made orthotics are created using 3D Optical Laser Foot Scanner technology, which duplicates any misalignments in foot structure. Using the scanner and computer technology, technicians in both the UK and the USA design a device that balances out deformities and corrects misalignments.
The laboratories use the latest cutting-edge computer aided design technology, scientific digital scanning and correction methods, and revolutionary materials in their manufacturing and finishing. Prescription orthotics are custom medical devices formed to fit an individuals foot exactly.
The finished orthotic is placed in the patient's shoe to support the foot and eliminate abnormal foot biomechanics by keeping the foot properly aligned.
Prescription orthotics are exceptionally shock absorbing, removing pressure and stress from painful areas in the foot and ankle. They promote the proper alignment of the feet, restore balance, improve sports performance and alleviate pain in the knee, hip and lower back. Our orthtics are individually designed to correct foot imbalances and irregular walking patterns to improve the overall biomechanical function of the foot, lower extremity and entire body
Our Option 1 package includes state of the art orthotics, a laser foot scan, video gait analysis, biomechanical evaluation and a lifetime guarantee. We also offer an Option 2 budget prescription orthotic.
Common conditions such as shinsplints, knee pain, runners knee, ilio tibial band syndrome, heel pain, plantar fasciitis, metatarsal pain, bunions, achilles tendonitis, calf strains, hip pain, tired aching legs and low back pain can be treated successfully using prescription orthotics.
Overpronated feet are very common and many people now wear custom orthotic insoles or inserts in their trainers and running shoes. Prices may vary and range from off the shelf orthotics to prescriptive orthotics to a high specification.
Orthotics can range from soft, semi rigid and rigid and can come in threequarter or full length varieties. Slim fit orthotics can be found for more difficult shoes and you can even have them fitted in ladies court shoes.
The secret to correcting faulty biomechanics is in the prescription. Many people fit orthotics but care must be taken when choosing a practitioner. At Solihull Sports Injury Clinic in Hall Green Birmingham they have Sports Podiatrist Peter Taylor who has competed as a runner for many years and won the Burton Half Marathon in 1 hour 10 mins.
Peter has access to laser foot scanning and video gait analysis equipment which ensures accurate prescription measurements when designing your orthotics. If you are currently wearing orthotics in your running shoes but not in your daily footwear then you are risking the incidence of picking up an injury.
As soon as you wear an orthotic it changes your relationship with the ground. Generally your feet are pushed towards the outer side of your shoes reducing the rolling in experienced by overpronator’s. This now puts the lower limbs into a different position and results in the muscles having to pull at a slightly different angle.
This is supposed to happen and in order to get used to wearing the orthotics some users may have been told to wear them for a few hours per day and gradually increase the time wearing them until they get used to them.
If we need time to get used to them then surely the orthotics need to eventually be worn all the time and in all footwear. If you only wear them for running, then the majority of the time you will be wearing shoes with no correction.
How on earth are you ever going to get used to them, each time you put your running shoes on will be like the first time you have worn them. This continual swapping from non corrected to corrected footwear and exercising will increase the risk of injury.
Basically if you need orthotics you wear them in all footwear!
