Bespoke Orthopaedic Footwear for Tendonitis and Foot Pain

We often see Clients presenting with long standing pain in their feet caused from many conditions including Tendonitis.

Tendonitis is when a tendon becomes swollen or inflamed following an injury. It can cause joint pain and stiffness, and affect how a tendon moves. 

There are tendons all over your body. They connect your muscles to your bones in your joints, for example in your knees, elbows and shoulders.


The main symptoms of Tendonitis are:


  • Pain in a tendon that gets worse when you move 
  • Difficulty moving the joint
  • Feeling a grating or cracking sensation when you move a tendon
  • Swelling


How Bespoke Footwear can help with Tendonitis 


Bespoke footwear has many benefits for someone suffering with Tendonitis following a injury, ankle or knee problems. The handcrafted, lasts and footwear made to your own specifications can aid in supporting the foot, helping to reduce pain underfoot and provide shock absorption for painful joints during walking.

There are many techniques the skilled team at Bill Bird Shoes can use to create your bespoke footwear, these range from arch support or supportive cushioned insoles to support the structure of the foot and aid correct foot alignment, wide based heels or wedges to help provide stability and profiled and tapered soles to support toe joints and promote an easier healthy gait.
