Phits Insoles & Orthotics - The Back and Body Clinic | Specialist Physiotherapy Northampton

Why Back & Body

Custom made Phits orthotics insoles are specialist devices inserted into your trainers or shoes. They are designed specifically for you to correct an abnormal alignment or any other issues with your feet which may be causing you problems in the foot, ankle, knee, hip or even the back.

Having the correct orthotic is so important. You walk on your feet every day, that is why the insoles we provide are prescribed to you by our highly trained and experienced therapists- using state of the art technology.

Our Footscan appointments are packed full of fascinating technical data and useful information, but don’t worry, our friendly team of specialist therapists will talk you through the findings in plain English and take the time to answer any questions you might have about the process.

Footscan and Phits FAQ’s

What to expect?

The Footscan assessment and insole consultation takes around 45 minutes. During the assessment your therapist may ask to see you stand, balance, walk, run or jump on the Footscan force plate (depending on your specific needs and goals!!).

After they’ve gathered all the relevant information, your therapist will go through the findings with you, taking time to explain the information on screen and relate it back to the symptoms you are experiencing. This is the geeky bit!!

Finally, the therapist will work with you, aided by the data collected via the assessment, to design a bespoke 3D printed insole! The insoles are infinitely customisable and you’ll work collaboratively to design a device that addresses any issues and imbalances and works towards optimising your performance! How exciting!!

What conditions may benefit from insoles/orthotics?

Insoles can be used for a number of conditions and each one has to be individually prescribed to ensure that it is carrying out the correct job. The therapists at The Back and Body Clinic have a vast knowledge of multiple conditions and will advise you on the most appropriate insole. Some of the conditions that may be treated using an insole include:

Achilles tendinopathy / tendonitis
Plantar fasciitis
Tibialis posterior dysfunction
Hammer toes/Mallet toes
Metatarsalgia (pain around the ball of the foot)
Shin splints
Morton’s neuroma (swelling of the nerve between the 3rd and 4th metatarsals)
Compartment syndrome
Arthritis

What are the benefits of insoles/orthotics?

We have seen patients benefit hugely from our Phits insoles. That is why we are so passionate about promoting them to any patient that would benefit from them. We have seen countless improvements from:

The return of a normal alignment and supports the foot arch
Reduced pain and inflammation
Improvements to the integrity of the ligaments, tendons and muscles of the foot
Improved walking/running efficiency
Improved gait pattern and biomechanics
Reduced risk of sprains and other ankle injuries
Quicker return to sport
Optimised performance
Reduce the load on osteoarthritic joints ie. OA knee

To name a few!!

Why Phits?

Phits is the world’s first high-tech 3D printed insole, specifically designed based on your dynamic gait analysis using Footscan. Optimal efficiency, superior stability and extreme durability.

The type of insole will be designed bespoke to you and depend on your specific problem with precise, scientifically calculated parameters to help ensure the perfect Phit!

Calculated Parameters:

Heel Wedge
Local Stiffness
Directional Stiffness
Navicular Support
Top Cover Hardness
Top Cover Thickness

Whether you are an elite athlete, recreational walker or factory worker on your feet, Phits will help your feet to adopt the correct foot motion, improve your movement efficiency and minimise your risk of injury.

How do I book in?

Booking a Footscan appointment couldn’t be easier!

If you are an existing patient and Phits insoles are something you are interested in, then simply speak to your therapist during your regular session and they’ll be happy to help you. Similarly if your therapist thinks you would really benefit from a Footscan appointment and Phits insoles then they will discuss this with you and help to arrange an assessment.

If you are new to the clinic then simply call our friendly reception team and ask for a Footscan appointment and they’ll get you booked in at a convenient time.

Deborah Moseley, Bedford

Amy Randall was professional, kind and understanding.

I had never had acupuncture before and was quite nervous at my first appointment. Amy made me feel at ease and in safe hands from the start. After 5 sessions my chronic widespread pain was under control and I felt more able to cope. Amy gave me excellent advice and after care exercises. I highly recommend Amy and the service I received at The back and body clinic.

Yahia Hussain, Bedford

First time going to physiotherapy so wasnt to sure what to expect or if it would help, but Joe Dowling explained everything really well

and with his help and advice i was able to recover sooner than I expected. Would recommend this practise for anyone who has back or body pain.

Isabel Denny, Bedford

The Back & Body Clinic have been amazing through my shoulder and neck complicated injury rehab.

Their well trained and skilled staff were SO caring, kind, and friendly throughout. This, along with their respect for their patients, their passion for their job, and their clean, modern clinics, was outstanding.
A huge thank you to Mike Mansfield who provided most of my treatment… a truly professional, awesome physiotherapist who made every session a pleasure; and who’s skilled hands, over time, facilitated my healing.
Many times it felt like he was hardly doing anything…. the following day/week always revealed the power of his treatment. After my experience, I would recommend to anyone…keep going back and let them show their worth! Healing takes time. I’m sure glad I didn’t give them up after 2 sessions.
These guys are amazing.

Jesse Masih, Bedford

Joe has been a fantastic help over the last few weeks. Prior to visiting the clinic, I was in a great deal of pain, I could barely walk,

and I had been misdiagnosed multiple times by other professionals. Joe was the first person to consider all my symptoms and to give me a clear answer and treatment plan. Over the following weeks, he worked with me patiently and diligently, offering both physical and psychological support. It was evident that he was working with me in an individualistic way, considering my personal body mechanics and how I was responding and what I needed as the weeks went by. As a direct result of our sessions, I am now able to walk and live my life as normal. I have the utmost faith in Joe’s knowledge and skills, and I cannot thank him enough. The clinic itself is also a lovely, welcoming atmosphere thanks to all the staff there.

This is the best place to go! Where is the 6th star option? I have lost the count of how many times Mike and the team have saved me.

Thank you guys! Suffering with lower back pain, facet joint sprains, slipped discs, bulging discs in past, you name it. I have given up so many times, especially when under severe pain, but they were always able to help and lead me to recovery, made me smile and cry :D. I would strongly recommend to anyone. It’s well spent money, investment for health.

Just to say that Shannon has been a real life saver in the last year, helping relieve my bad back & shoulders.

always knows exactly what is needed & goes the extra mile to recommend other things that would help too & I now plan to see her on a regular basis to keep my back in a good place. Thank you Shannon !!

Gillian Studley, Bedfrod

I’ve been seeing Amy at the Great Denham site for the last few months. I hurt my back and Amy has helped me with massage and online exercises that I can do at home.

After my back improved I had very tight muscles in my leg and knee and again massage and exercise has helped. I no longer need physio but I know where to go if I have any more problems in the future. I would recommend Amy and the Back and Body clinic.

Thoroughly impressed with every element of Back & Body in Great Denham, Bedford.

Mike Mansfield has been first class in sorting out my knee problems. Not only has he helped me get back to running, he’s also educated me on how to avoid repeating the same issues.

Could not recommend Mike enough ! Expert knowledge, re-assuring manner, and great results.

Gillian Ormston, Bedford

I have been seeing Shannan at Back and Body Clinic for long standing muscular conditions. She has been able to make significant improvements to my mobility, pain and muscular health.

Her mix of osteopathy, sports therapy and other specialisms is perfect for me. I am totally impressed with the excellent service she provides me. She talks me through the treatment in detail, teaches me how to make the improvements last and supports me fully in achieving positive health improvements – I will be continuing to see Shannan monthly to maintain my muscle health. A real diamond with a special ability to heal.

Prilly Barron, Bedford

Impressed with how Jazzy listened to my neck and shoulder problems and then ‘explained’ the bits that were effected.

Then worked on them with great success.

Less

Maija Bissett, Bedford

As someone who works in the fitness industry, being able to train and teach are vital to me.

When an injury reared its ugly head, I needed to be seen by a physio sooner than later. Despite it being the weekend, the Back and Body clinic responded via Facebook quickly and I was booked in within hours of my initial enquiry.

The professionalism and skill they have is the best around. The treatment I have had for my elbow and hip over several months has been fantastic. Mike the physio has worked the rehab around my work and training and given exercises that are simple, yet effective. No long lists of time-consuming exercises. Understanding that taking time off is not a possibility has been valuable.

The Back and Body clinic is full of lovely people who have passion for their client’s wellbeing. Couldn’t be more grateful as I am!

Less

Andrew Jackson, Bedford

Fantastic service and support in a fun, friendly and approachable environment. As soon as you walk through the door you feel at home, with very personable reception staff.

Shannan quickly identified the problem with my back and worked efficiently to fix the issues. Very knowledgeable and would recommend her and the clinic to everyone!!

Less

Catherine Pibworth, Bedford

My experience so far has been fantastic. From the warm welcome I received when I first came in for an enquiry to the ongoing friendly and encouraging treatment every session.

Every moment of customer care has been wonderful and I’m seeing measured and experiential improvements that are improving my daily life. Thank you!
