3. Place the heated orthotic into the patient’s shoe – the patient must wear both left and right orthotics and shoes during the moulding process.
4. As the patient stands in equal weight bearing, place the foot into the Subtalar Neutral Position and using the palm of your hand, cup the medial arch and heel (as shown), applying pressure into the arch for 30-40 seconds, to ensure the orthotic moulds to the patient’s arch.
5. Whilst still holding the foot in the neutral position, ask the patient to be seated, and remove the moulded orthotic from the shoe and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes then place back into shoe.
