Flat feet, foot deformities, and various foot-related conditions—including plantar fasciitis, pain from prolonged office work, and musculoskeletal discomfort radiating to the neck, shoulders, or spine—can significantly affect daily life. One effective solution for managing these issues is the use of custom-made insoles (often called orthotic insoles).
PBS (Physical Balance Solution) is the first provider in Thailand to treat foot deformities at their root cause using non-surgical foot structure correction techniques. This article explains key facts you should know before choosing PBS’s insole services.
Evaluation: Determining Who Needs Custom Insoles
When a patient visits PBS, they undergo a comprehensive biomechanical assessment. This includes:
- Examination of the foot structure for abnormalities.
- Identification of painful areas.
- Evaluation of related musculoskeletal issues beyond the feet—such as symptoms associated with office syndrome, which can stem from foot misalignment.
If pain or structural abnormalities are observed, PBS specialists may recommend the use of custom insoles. The process then moves to insole fabrication tailored specifically to the individual’s needs.
How Custom Insoles Are Made at PBS
Once the patient is assessed and found suitable for orthotic intervention, PBS follows a precise and personalized manufacturing process:
1. Foot Casting
- A resin-based casting material is used to create a 3D mold of the foot.
- The material sets in about 7–10 minutes.
- During this soft stage, PBS specialists manually adjust the foot posture to ensure proper alignment before the mold hardens.
2. Initial Fitting and Adjustments
- Once the mold sets, the patient is asked to stand and walk briefly to assess the fit.
- Minor adjustments may be made to optimize comfort and biomechanical support.
3. Final Model Preparation
- The hardened foot mold is filled with plaster to create a foot model.
- This model is further customized to match the patient’s specific anatomical needs.
4. Insole Fabrication and Delivery
- The finalized model is used to produce the actual orthotic insoles.
- PBS typically contacts patient within 1–2 weeks to try out their new insoles.
- Follow-up adjustments may be performed based on the patient’s feedback.
