Here’s a clear picture of what happens when you go to Genfinity.
- A warm welcome and a talk about your worries
When you get here, our pleasant staff will welcome you and assist you relax. We begin by talking about:
The pain you’re having in your foot, knee, hip, or back Your daily activities and way of life, any treatments or insoles you’ve tried before, and your aims, whether they are to ease pain, improve mobility, or boost sports performance.
This talk helps us learn about your needs and gives us the information we need to build a personalised care plan.
- A full analysis of your posture and gait
Next, we do a gait analysis, which means watching how you walk and stand. We check for: Foot alignment and arch movement Weight distribution while standing Hip, knee and ankle alignment Any evidence of overpronation, supination, or uneven gait patterns
We use advanced equipment and our trained eyes to find movement patterns or imbalances that are making your pain or discomfort worse.
- Checking and measuring the feet
- We look closely at your feet to see what kind of arch you have (flat, high, or neutral) and where the pressure points and calluses are.
The ability of your feet to move and bend. - Spots that hurt
We take exact measurements to make sure your custom orthotics fit precisely and give you the support you need where you need it most.
- 3D Foot Scanning or Casting
We use either 3D foot scanning or plaster casting to make your bespoke foot orthotics, depending on what you need. This is a quick and non-invasive way to get the exact shape of your feet.
This makes sure that your orthotics will fit your foot anatomy perfectly, giving you the right support and alignment.
- A one-on-one talk about your custom orthotics plan
After your scans and evaluations are done, we will explain:
What problems your orthotics will fix How they will help you feel better, stand up straighter, and move around more easily What to expect during the time of adjustment
We want you to ask questions so that you know what’s going on and are sure of what to do next.

We also set up a follow-up appointment to check on your progress, make any changes that are needed, and make sure your orthotics are still helping you be comfortable and mobile.
