The Situation
A 28-year-old semi-professional footballer presented with Achilles tendinopathy, causing pain during training. Conventional treatments provided limited relief, and the athlete required a solution to facilitate recovery while maintaining performance.
The Bespoke Solution
Enertor Medical manufactured bespoke orthotics designed specifically for the patient’s biomechanical needs. Using CAD technology, we created orthotics featuring:
- Heel elevation to reduce strain on the Achilles tendon
- Shock absorption to minimise impact during training
- Reinforced materials for durability under high-performance conditions
Results
The athlete reported significant pain reduction and was able to resume training within weeks. The orthotics continued to support their recovery, reducing the risk of reinjury. Sports clinics can leverage bespoke orthotics to enhance recovery outcomes for active patients.
