GaitScan & Phits Custom 3D Orthotics
With Liesel & Sara
At Active Health, we use advanced technology to help you understand the way you move — and why certain pains or injuries might be occurring. Our GaitScan assessment and Phits Custom 3D Orthotics allow us to analyse your walking and running patterns with precision and create orthotics designed uniquely for your feet, lifestyle, and activities.
What Is GaitScan?
GaitScan is a sophisticated pressure-mapping system that captures thousands of data points as you walk across a sensor plate. This gives your physiotherapist a detailed picture of how your feet function during movement.
Your GaitScan assessment includes:
- A full foot and lower-limb assessment
- Static and dynamic pressure analysis
- Insight into how your foot mechanics may contribute to pain or injury
- Clear, visual data to guide diagnosis and treatment
GaitScan helps identify patterns such as over-pronation, supination, uneven loading, or instability that may be linked to discomfort in the feet, knees, hips, or lower back.
Phits Custom 3D Orthotics
If your assessment shows that orthotic support would be beneficial, we offer Phits Custom 3D Orthotics — one of the most advanced orthotic systems available today. Used by elite athletes, runners, and healthcare professionals worldwide, Phits orthotics are created using cutting-edge 3D printing technology.
Why Phits Orthotics Are Different
Phits orthotics are:
- Individually tailored from your GaitScan movement data
- Lightweight and durable due to advanced 3D printing materials
- Designed for optimal comfort and efficiency
- Suitable for everyday use, sports, and long-distance running
