From Heel to Toe: Hindfoot Symptoms and Prescriptions

Description

Revolutionising podiatric care: a symptom-based approach to orthotic prescriptions

Clinical practice is full of complex presentations, but your approach to orthotic prescription doesn’t have to be complicated.

This three-part webinar series takes a symptom-focused lens to orthotic variables so you can make prescription decisions with purpose, confidence and clarity.

Delivered by Advanced MSK Podiatrist and Clinical Educator Louise Fisher, each session explores a distinct region of the foot – hindfoot, midfoot and forefoot – highlighting common clinical presentations, key orthotic modifications and practical decision-making strategies grounded in evidence and real-world examples.

Session 1 – Hindfoot Symptoms and Prescriptions

In this session, you’ll learn targeted ways to assess and manage hindfoot-related issues using orthotic variables. We’ll break down how to recognise patient-reported hindfoot pain, apply focused clinical evaluation and select orthotic elements such as heel cups, lifts, wedging, flanges and ankle-foot orthoses to improve stability, alter loading and reduce strain. Gain practical insights and case-based approaches for conditions ranging from plantar fasciopathy and Achilles tendinopathy to subtalar osteoarthritis and chronic ankle instability.

Across the series you’ll refine your clinical reasoning around orthotic variables, deepen your understanding of symptom-driven prescription strategies and gain confidence in translating assessment into effective orthotic solutions.
