BxCo Ltd Orthotic Prescriber Training Program
Welcome to your Orthotic Prescriber Program!
Supporting healthcare professionals to prescribe safe and effective orthotic insoles in your clinic.
Gain confidence. Deliver results. Grow your clinical service.
A practical, clinician-led CPD course to help you prescribe safe and effective orthotic insoles — without expensive equipment.
Are you unsure how to start prescribing orthotics in your clinic? Or worried about making the wrong call? This bite-sized, online course guides you through the essential biomechanical principles, clinical tests, and real-world scenarios that take the guesswork out of orthotic prescription.
Led by Ian Sadler, a podiatrist with over 20 years of clinical experience and 16 years of teaching, this course is designed to give new graduates and early-career clinicians the clarity and confidence to integrate orthotic insoles into practice — the right way.
✅ What you’ll learn:
The 5 essential keys to prescribing orthotics safely and effectively
How to apply biomechanical theory in a practical clinical setting
Which clinical tests matter — and how to use them to guide your decisions
How to choose materials, designs, and modifications that get real results
📦 What’s included:
5 short, focused video lessons you can complete at your own pace
Real-world tips from decades of clinical experience
CPD content you can apply immediately in practice

Start your orthotic Prescriber Journey
Register for 5 one-hour digestible chunks of orthotic prescription ‘must know’ CPD.
Covering all the essential anatomy, functional anatomy, biomechanical principles, orthotic specific clinical tests, and orthotic properties to guide you to safe and effective orthotic insole prescription.
Once you have completed this you will be invited to a live online training day - Level 2 - where you can get involved in the key clinic theory you will need to safely prescribe orthotic insoles. We usually hold this event 4 times per year.
Level 2, 2026 dates: Saturday 9 May, Wednesday 9 September, Friday 25 September, Saturday 17 October.
To completely embed these skills in your practice and your clinical service, you will then be invited to join a two-day, in-person workshop - Level 3 - where you will discover through hands-on and discussion-based training. You will be given an assessment form that directly translates into a suggested orthotic prescription.
Level 3, 2026 dates: 5-6 June and 13-14 November.
You will then have access to exclusive orthotic insole technology utilising 3D printed orthotic insoles to provide devices that are both soft and firm, thin where they need to be, but supportive enough to deliver real results for your patient.
Once you have completed the training and happily prescribing orthotic insoles in your clinic, you will have access to a full support package and ongoing CPD so you always have access to help and you are always up to date with your biomechanics and orthotic prescription process’
What Your Clinicians Say About The Course
Real reflections from Podiatrists & MSK Clinicians completing the 5 Keys.
-
"The fear of orthotics is subsiding. It isn't 'too hard.' By putting into practice a methodical assessment—covering all aspects discussed—the orthotic part becomes simple. I can see so much potential for growth now. It's a game-changer for me, my patients, and the business." — JB, Podiatrist
"This has made me much more comfortable with my prescriptions. It has given me the confidence to use my own knowledge rather than thinking it 'should' be this or that just because I was told so in the past. I’m now delivering bespoke insoles that truly work for my patients." — SL, Podiatrist
"I appreciate the value of material knowledge now. I’ve always felt 'silly' in the past asking the lab for help, but now I can see that’s part of the process. The fear factor is reduced; I’m going to enjoy orthotic prescription a whole lot more." — JB, Podiatrist
-
"As I am returning to podiatry after time away from clinical practice, this training has been a valuable opportunity to refresh my knowledge. It has helped me move away from a focus on static alignment toward a more functional, movement-based approach. It’s rebuilding my confidence as I transition back into practice." — RD, Podiatrist
"I’ve identified areas I previously ignored. This course has encouraged me to think more critically about cause and effect within the foot, moving away from a purely descriptive approach to a truly functional biomechanical model." — GG, Podiatrist
-
"I now better appreciate the importance of active and passive stabilising systems. This approach allows me to better address the root cause of pathology, improve patient education, and ultimately enhance long-term outcomes." — RD, Podiatrist
"The understanding of simple mechanics—body weight causing pronatory drift, the drop of the talus, and the role of the pelvis in resupination—is very helpful. It’s helped me rethink my clinic offering: do my current options give me the flexibility I need to treat patients effectively?" — CC, Podiatrist
"The tests in this course help me understand how well a device will be tolerated by the patient. It gives me a better chance of 'getting it right first time' and reduces the number of adjustments I have to make to bespoke orthotics." — JD, Podiatrist
"Being able to adjust density for each patient is an exciting option. It opens up my prescription ability and enables the removal of the limitations that many off-the-shelf insoles have. A very exciting prospect." — SL, Podiatrist
