A closer look at styloid process offloading with Slimflex. Behind every orthotic adaptation is attention to the individual.

In this video, we take a closer look at styloid process offloading using a Slimflex orthosis, showing how a prefabricated insole can be modified to accommodate a targeted area along the outside of the foot. Orthotic customisation starts with attention to the individual. This video demonstrates how a Slimflex orthosis can be adapted to accommodate a specific area along the outside of the foot.

Watch the process unfold—> from identifying and marking the area to grinding the orthosis, adding cushioning material and applying a finishing cover. It’s a practical look at how clinicians can personalise a prefabricated orthosis as part of their patient care.

For podiatrists and orthotic professionals, the video offers a useful workshop reference, bringing together material selection, careful shaping and finishing in one short demonstration. The suitability of any modification depends on the individual assessment and footwear fit. It also highlights why the choice of materials matters. The orthosis, cushioning and finishing cover all form part of the finished adaptation, with suitability assessed for the individual and their footwear.

Whether you’re building your workshop skills or supporting your team’s ongoing learning, save this video as a practical reference.

Why add an extension beneath the big toe of an orthotic? The answer starts with the purpose of the prescription.

In this video, we demonstrate a Morton’s extension modification on a Slimflex orthotic, from marking out the material to shaping, fitting and finishing the extension. For podiatry students and clinicians developing their orthotic modification skills, this is a useful example of how a prefabricated device can be adapted to a specific clinical goal.

What is a Morton’s extension?
It is an extension beneath the first ray and big toe. When made sufficiently rigid, it can help limit upward bending at the big toe joint. This may be considered when managing a painful, stiff joint, such as in hallux rigidus, following clinical assessment.

What should you watch for in this demonstration?
• How the extension is measured against the orthotic before shaping.
• How the material is trimmed and the edges finished.
• How the extension joins the existing device.
• How the finished profile fits beneath the big toe area.

The key learning point: material choice matters.
The video identifies EVA and polypropylene as material options, but they will not automatically produce the same stiffness. Material properties, thickness and the finished design influence how the modification behaves.

Before making an adaptation, ask:
“What do I want this orthotic to do for this particular foot?”

Then consider how the device will work inside the patient’s footwear. A modification needs to suit the clinical aim, available shoe space and the person wearing it.

Small workshop details deserve attention because they contribute to the finished device.
📌 Save this video as a reference for your orthotic learning.

For clinicians and students: what would you check first when assessing the finished extension? Its stiffness, position or footwear fit? Tell us your reasoning below.

Growing feet need individual support, especially when heel pain starts affecting everyday movement.

Sever’s disease, also known as calcaneal apophysitis, is a common cause of heel pain in growing children. It often occurs during growth spurts, particularly in active children who enjoy sports involving running and jumping. Discomfort can make training, school activities and everyday walking more challenging.

🎥 In this short video, we demonstrate an orthotic modification incorporating:
✅ A medial heel wedge
✅ A 5mm heel raise
✅ A 6mm PORON® heel pad, if required

The demonstration shows how an insole can be adapted with additional components to suit a clinician’s treatment plan. The choice of modification should follow an individual assessment, taking into account the child’s symptoms, foot mechanics, footwear and activity levels.

Managing Sever’s disease may involve adjusting activities, wearing suitable footwear and following professionally guided exercises. Heel cushioning or a heel raise may also help relieve symptoms when appropriate. The aim is to support comfort while managing the demands placed on a growing heel. Understanding the cause helps guide the right support for your child.

At Algeos Australia, we support clinicians with orthotic insoles, cushioning materials, and modification components for individual patient needs.

Save this video for your clinical reference, or share it with someone interested in children’s foot health.

How to add a 5 mm heel raise to a Slimflex device

A carefully fabricated heel raise can be used to modify a Slimflex device while maintaining a smooth transition, secure bond and comfortable finish.
In this video, we demonstrate the full process of creating and applying a 5 mm EVA 400 heel raise, from material preparation and adhesive application through to heating, bonding, shaping and finishing. Attention to detail at each stage ensures a strong bond, smooth contouring and a professional clinical result.

Once applied, the is carefully trimmed and ground flush to the device, with the anterior edge bevelled to create a gradual transition. The full 5 mm thickness is retained under the heel and blended forward to avoid any abrupt changes underfoot.
Final finishing and patient review are essential to ensure comfort, fit and optimal clinical effect.
Small details in bonding, grinding and finishing can make a significant difference to the quality and comfort of the final device.
This demonstration is intended for appropriately trained clinicians and orthotic technicians. Always follow relevant clinical assessment, material-handling and workshop safety procedures.

What makes a vibrating exercise pole feel so different?

The Physioworx Flexi Bar - Oscillating Vibration Pole turns a small, controlled movement into a continuous stability challenge. Move the bar rhythmically and its flexible ends begin to oscillate. To keep that motion going, your body must make ongoing adjustments through your arms, shoulders and core.

How does it work?
Small, rhythmic movements at the centre grip make the flexible ends move back and forth. Maintaining that vibration for repeated adjustments from your arms, shoulders and core. The goal is to keep the motion smooth and controlled rather than simply moving faster.

That makes it a useful tool for exercises focused on:
🔹 Core stability and postural control
🔹 Shoulder and upper body coordination
🔹 Balance and body awareness
🔹 Controlled movement and muscular endurance

Hold the centre grip, start with small, deliberate movements and find a rhythm that keeps the bar vibrating. You can vary your stance and arm position to change the exercise, making it useful for clinicians, trainers and anyone looking to add a different challenge to their routine.

Try holding it in front of your body, raising it overhead or changing your stance to explore different movement challenges. Each position asks you to maintain control while the pole continues to oscillate. A clinician or trainer can help select exercises that match your goals and ability.

The Pole bar is collapsible, so it’s easy to bring into a clinic, gym or home exercise space. It can be incorporated into physiotherapy, rehabilitation and general fitness programmes. If you’re recovering from an injury, ask your clinician which movements are appropriate for you.

Off-Loading the 2nd Metatarsophalangeal Joint: A Practical and Targeted Orthotic Modification

Pain and excessive pressure around the second metatarsophalangeal joint is one of the most common forefoot presentations we see, often linked to mechanical overload, plantar plate involvement, or a structural imbalance transferred from the first ray.

Effective offloading is not simply about adding more cushioning beneath the foot. It requires understanding where tissue stress is occurring and applying a modification that redistributes pressure away from the affected area.

In this video, we demonstrate one of our go-to techniques: shaping a metatarsal dome and finishing it with a Neosorb full-length cover within a Slimflex device.

Accurate localisation is essential: The dome must be positioned just proximal to the 2nd MTPJ and referenced against the patient's actual foot position. Even a well-designed modification may be ineffective if it does not correspond with the symptomatic or high-pressure area.

Material placement matters: The metatarsal dome is shaped and positioned within the orthotic construction to redistribute load onto the adjacent metatarsal shafts, rather than concentrating pressure on the joint itself.

Blending is as important as the build: A full-length Neosorb cover ties the modification smoothly into the shell, maintaining cushioning through the entire device so the patient gets a comfortable, consistent finish rather than feeling the modification underfoot. This technique should always form part of a broader biomechanical assessment that considers the patient's presentation, gait, footwear, activity level and treatment objectives. The size, position and material choice must be tailored to the individual.

For clinicians managing forefoot pathologies, small refinements like this can make the difference between an orthosis that is merely tolerated and one that is genuinely effective.

Have you used a similar approach to offload the 2nd MTPJ, or do you prefer a different material or dome design?

Recovery starts from the ground up.

Following foot surgery, injury, wound care or casting, ordinary footwear may not provide the protection, space or pressure management required. DARCO post-operative and orthopaedic footwear offers specialised support for patients and practical solutions for healthcare professionals.

Depending on the model, DARCO footwear may help:
🔹 DARCO Body Armour™ Cast Shoe: Helps protect a cast or heavily bandaged foot during everyday movement. Its adjustable design can accommodate changes in swelling and dressing volume throughout recovery.

🔹 DARCO Air Traveller Walker: A lightweight walker with an adjustable air-cell system that creates a secure, supportive fit around the lower leg while accommodating changes during recovery.

🔹 DARCO HeelWedge™: Helps reduce pressure beneath the heel by shifting weight towards the midfoot and forefoot. It may be recommended following heel surgery or for certain heel wounds and injuries.

🔹 DARCO OrthoWedge™—Square Toe: Designed to reduce forefoot pressure by transferring weight towards the heel. It may be suitable after bunion or forefoot surgery, for selected fractures, or when offloading forefoot wounds.

🔹 DARCO MedSurg™ Original: A well-established post-operative shoe that helps protect the forefoot and accommodate bulky dressings. Its semi-rigid sole limits forefoot movement, while the roomy toe area and adjustable closure provide a secure fit.

🔹 DARCO Slimline Paediatric Cast Boot: A lightweight boot that helps protect a child’s cast from dirt, knocks and everyday wear. Adjustable closures and a removable insole make fitting, cleaning and cast monitoring easier for parents and carers.

Each DARCO model performs a different clinical role. Our team can assist patients and carers with general product and sizing information; however, clinical suitability should be confirmed with a treating healthcare professional.

For podiatrists, orthotists, physiotherapists, hospitals and other healthcare providers, Algeos offers dedicated product support, professional account pricing and Australia-wide delivery.
