Custom insoles and orthotics We explain about custom insoles and orthotics here See also: Practitioner information Book treatment Custom insoles and orthotics In addition to our foot health services, we also provide assessments for insoles and orthotics Frequently asked questions Do you make custom orthotics/insoles? Yes, we use FootBalance in addition to a bio mechanical assessment to get a digital scan of your foot type, alignment and to gauge an understanding of any possible issues. Our insoles are 100% custom made for your individual feet based on the information provided by the FootBalance assessment to ensure they provide the correct support based on the unique contours of your feet. This will then help to re-adjust your natural stance to improve your overall body posture and prevent injury. It only takes 10 minutes for these insoles to be made for you. Whether you want your insoles for your heels, boots or sandals, that’s no problem - FootBalance custom insoles are designed to fit all types of footwear, providing you with the perfect custom fit. We have so much confidence in our FootBalance insoles that we will provide a full refund on all FootBalance custom insoles within 30 days of purchase if you’re not completely happy. It sounds minor, but foot misalignment can cause problems in other areas of the body, including back pain, muscle and joint pain, injuries and other foot-related problems - both now and in later life. Good foot alignment provides a strong natural foundation at the base of your body, so is really important. Our innovative in-store patented FootBalance technology analyses your foot and arch type whilst getting a more detailed understanding of your body alignment. It then collects this data to produce totally customised insoles that support and cushion your feet, providing the foundation and balance your body requires. These insoles are proven to prevent injury and help to relieve pain in other areas of your body. Plantar Fasciitis - Inflammation of the ligament running along the bottom of the foot towards the heel is called plantar fasciitis. It causes pain along the heel and/or arch of the foot. Our FootBalance custom orthotics reduces the strain on the bottom of your feet, helping the ligament to heel and preventing plantar fasciitis from reoccurring. Shin Splints - Repetitive activity and stress can cause the muscle and tissues around the shin area to become inflamed which results in pain. By helping ensure your foot is properly aligned, therefore improving overall alignment and reducing stress to the shin, our FootBalance custom orthotics help to reduce your chances of getting shin splints. Runner’s Knee - Friction in the hip or knee joint caused by running or climbing stairs. There are many factors that can cause this including overpronation. Our FootBalance custom insoles can reduce this painful friction by providing your feet with the proper support they need. What is a bio mechanical? A bio mechanical assessment is an examination of the lower limb. It looks for any underlying causes of foot, ankle, knee, hip and back pain. It normally takes around 1 hour and is carried out by your podiatrist. FootBalance available in selected stores. Bio mechanical assessments available in all stores. Book a 30 minute bio mechanical assessment [without FootBalance] Book a 60 minute bio mechanical assessment [with FootBalance scan] We also stock a large and varied range of over the counter orthotics and insoles in store.

Control of medical waste As a producer of medical waste from our clinical services. We have to abide by a duty of care for collection, destruction or incineration of our waste or sharps. You may notice throughout our buildings that we use the PHS group for most things, our hand dryers, soap dispensers as well as sanitary towel waste services are maintained, serviced or removed with our agreement with the PHS group. What are Statutory Duty of Care Regulations? The Environmental Protection Act 1990 places a duty of care on businesses that deal with controlled waste – such as clinical waste. These regulations aim to guide the safe management of waste to protect the environment and human health. They apply to anyone who imports, produces, keeps, or disposes of controlled waste, including clinical waste. Waste managers have a duty of care to ensure the waste they deal with doesn’t harm anyone or anything and is disposed of properly. It’s a legal requirement and the Waste Duty of Care Code of Practice provides guidelines of what to do to meet your legal duty of care obligations. Businesses have a duty of care when dealing with controlled clinical waste What is meant by the safe management of clinical waste? Healthcare waste managers must follow the government legislation mentioned above and the Healthcare Technical Memorandum (HTM) 07-01 to ensure clinical waste is dealt with safely. As a medical provider we must correctly segregate and classify different types of healthcare waste to ensure it goes to the right place for storage and treatment. You should also also assess the results of the waste audit at regular intervals. Clinical waste must be inspected at the waste facility to ensure the contents of the container match what was expected. Each type of clinical waste is coded to detail the type of waste and appropriate waste management method. In England, some waste is known as offensive hygiene waste and is sorted into yellow bags with a black stripe. You need to provide justification if this waste will be used at an alternative treatment plant. For infectious healthcare waste, chemical or heat-based disinfection can be used as an alternative to incineration. However, this waste should not contain any chemicals, medicines, or anatomical waste. Healthcare waste managers must follow government legislation and the Healthcare Technical Memorandum (HTM) 07-01 What are clinical waste guidelines to store, segregate, and handle clinical waste? There are measures in place for the storage, segregation, and handling of healthcare and clinical waste. Firstly, we can’t store individual containers of waste cannot loose. Bagged waste must be stored in fully enclosed and leak-proof containers such as carts. Rigid waste containers should be in good condition, sealed and handled in an upright position. Clinical waste should be located away from sensitive perimeters and watercourses for public safety. It must be placed in a security-protected area. Anatomical waste must be stored in refrigerated units unless they will be onsite for under 24 hours. Offensive waste must be stored in a secure building in secure bulk containers. Clinical waste facilities should be operated in a way that minimises any waste handling. Overloading or puncturing waste should be avoided, and they should be stored according to the waste type and destination. It’s important that these clinical waste regulations are followed at all times, to protect the environment and human health. Medical waste within Taylor organisation ltd and FOOT CARE premises is controlled under a duty of care co-signed between the company and PHS group. Copies our our duty of care documentation are available on request by authorised parties. Contact: compliance@taylororganisation.org
