AUTHOTICS

FAQs

Ankle pain in adults

Ankle pain can appear in several areas—outside (lateral), inside (medial), front (anterior), back (posterior), or even deep within the joint—and each pattern tells a different biomechanical story. Rather than guess, Dr Brendan's Movement Experience assesses your foot posture, tibial rotation, ligament tension, and joint mobility in motion. Then we guide you through targeted stretches, supportive Authotics, and dynamic stabilisation drills to address the root cause. Let's explore exactly where and why your ankle hurts.

Arch pain in adults

Arch pain in adults can stem from plantar fascia tightness, midfoot ligament strain, or fallen arches altering tendon tension under the navicular bone. Each creates unique pressure patterns under your foot. In Dr Brendan's Movement Experience, we measure arch height, foot pronation, tibial alignment, and muscle function in motion, then guide you through supportive exercises, dynamic stabilisation with Authotics, and gentle stretches to ease arch discomfort. Let's explore what your arch is telling us.

Are Authotics adjustable?

Yes. If you need adjustments for comfort or fit, contact us and we'll help.

Are Authotics made in Australia?

Yes. Every pair of prescription Authotics is designed, reviewed, and made in Australia.

Are orthotics made in Australia?

Yes. Every pair of prescription Authotics is designed, reviewed, and made in Australia.

Are prescription Authotics covered by my health insurance?

In most cases, yes—if podiatry is covered in your extras package. We'll provide receipts and item codes for your claim.

Are prescription Authotics locally made?

Yes. Every pair of prescription Authotics is designed, reviewed, and made in Australia.

Calf and Achilles pain in adults

Calf and Achilles pain can stem from muscle overload, tendon irritation, biomechanical imbalances like overpronation, or limited ankle dorsiflexion altering tension through the calf–Achilles complex. In Dr Brendan's Movement Experience, we observe your gait and movement patterns in real time, measure calf flexibility, ankle and heel angles, and tendon response under load, then guide you through gentle stretches, progressive strengthening, dynamic stabilisation with Authotics or supportive inserts, and soothing recovery techniques. Let's explore what your calf and Achilles are telling us so you can return to pain-free movement.

Can adults use Authotics?

I welcome everyone—children, adults, athletes, seniors, and families. No matter your age or needs, I'll meet you where you are and support you every step of your movement journey.

Can calf tightness cause forefoot pain?

Yes—tight calves limit ankle dorsiflexion, which shifts load forward onto the metatarsal heads. In our Movement Experience, Dr Brendan measures calf flexibility and ankle range, then guides you through stretching routines and dynamic stabilisation to reduce forefoot overload.

Can capsulitis cause big toe pain?

Capsulitis under the big toe joint occurs when the joint capsule becomes irritated from repetitive pressure. We don't label—you feel it. In Dr Brendan's Movement Experience, we observe forefoot loading during activity and guide you through metatarsal pads, footwear adjustments, and movement strategies that offload the joint capsule.

Then we guide you through nurturing stretches, dynamic stabilisation with Authotics, and movement strategies tailored to your heel pain pattern. Let's explore what your heel is telling you.

Knee pain in adults

Knee pain can appear in many patterns—inside, outside, front, back, or deep within the joint—and each pattern points to different biomechanical factors like patellar tracking, ligament tension, meniscus stress, or tibial rotation influenced by foot posture. Instead of guessing, Dr Brendan's Movement Experience gently assesses your knee in motion—observing range of motion, alignment, muscle balance, and support from your foot through dynamic stabilisation drills. Then we guide you through tailored exercises, supportive Authotics, and movement strategies to address the root cause. Let's explore exactly where and why your knee hurts.

Leg, hip & glute pain in adults

Leg, hip & glute pain can manifest in distinct patterns—from thigh and shin discomfort to deep hip or buttock ache—each reflecting unique biomechanical interactions of foot posture, tibial rotation, and muscle balance. Rather than guess at a label, Dr Brendan's Movement Experience assesses your entire lower limb in motion—observing foot strike, muscle engagement, and joint alignment—then guides you through tailored stretches, dynamic stabilisation with Authotics, and movement strategies to address the root cause. Let's explore exactly where and why you're feeling discomfort.

My big toe hurts when I push off

Pain during push-off often means the force transfer through your big toe joint is restricted—possibly by hallux rigidus or capsulitis. During our Movement Experience, Dr Brendan measures how your foot and toe align during push-off, then guides you through strengthening exercises and supportive strategies to restore smooth propulsion.

My big toe hurts when I walk

Walking puts repeated load through the big toe joint, and if that joint isn't gliding smoothly—or if a bunion or early stiffening is present—you'll feel soreness. In Dr Brendan's Movement Experience, we observe your walking pattern in real time, measure toe extension and foot posture, then guide you through gentle joint-mobilisation drills and footwear tweaks to help you walk more comfortably.

Outside foot pain in adults

Pain on the outside edge of the foot can come from peroneal tendon strain, cuboid overload, stress on the fifth metatarsal, or ligament tension along the lateral border. Foot posture and tibial rotation often play a key role. In Dr Brendan's Movement Experience, we observe lateral foot alignment, assess peroneal muscle function, and measure cuboid position in motion. Then we guide you through supportive stretches, dynamic stabilisation, and targeted exercises to ease outside foot discomfort.

Should I mention old orthotics?

Yes. Knowing what worked or didn't helps us improve your new prescription Authotics.

Should I wear my prescription Authotics all day?

A sudden sharp calf pain can signal a muscle strain or tear. We don't rush to assume severity—instead, Dr Brendan's Movement Experience observes your calf function in motion, measures muscle activation, and then guides you through protective rest strategies, gentle mobilisation, and progressive strengthening to promote safe recovery.

What causes bunion pain?

Bunion pain comes from the bony bump at the base of the big toe rubbing against shoes or from altered joint mechanics as the toe drifts outward. In our Movement Experience, Dr Brendan examines foot alignment and weight transfer in motion—then guides you on supportive footwear, toe spacers, and non-restrictive exercises to ease bunion discomfort.

What causes pain under the metatarsal heads?

Pain beneath the metatarsal heads can stem from capsulitis, Morton's neuroma, or simple overloading. In Dr Brendan's Movement Experience, we observe your forefoot under load, assess joint capsule health, and guide you through targeted padding, gentle joint mobilisation, and supportive movement strategies.

What causes the ball of my foot to feel tender?

Tenderness in the ball of the foot often means metatarsal heads are under excess load—common with high heels, flat arches, or tight calves.
