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.
The Orthotic Prescriber Program is your practical, clinician-led CPD pathway to prescribe safe, effective orthotic insoles — without expensive equipment.
Led by Ian Sadler, a podiatrist with over 28 years of clinical experience and 17 years of MSK teaching, this course is designed to give new graduates, early-career clinicians, and anyone looking to increase their biomechanics skills the clarity and confidence to integrate orthotic insoles into practice — the right way.
Level 1: The 5 Keys to Orthotic Insole pre 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.

"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
What Your Colleagues Say About The Course
Real reflections from Podiatrists & MSK Clinicians completing the 5 Keys.
Level 2: Clinical Logic & Pathology Masterclass
Format: 1-Day Live Virtual Training
Take the guesswork out of biomechanical prescribing. Level 2 bridges the gap between foundational anatomy and real world clinical decision making. Through interactive case studies and diagnostic logic frameworks, you will learn how to translate patient pathologies such as; Plantar Fasciitis, Tib Post Dysfunction, Achilles Tendinopathy, and Midfoot OA into precise, effective 3D orthotic prescriptions.
Master Diagnostic Logic: Connect clinical test results directly to prescription design.
Target Specific Pathologies: Learn when to control motion, alter load, or cushion.
Refine Material Choices: Select optimal material densities and shell modifications.
🗓️ 2027 Dates Announced Soon!
Live virtual cohorts are strictly limited in size to ensure interactive discussion.
Level 3: Norwich Clinical Residency: 2-Day Private Mentorship
Format: 2 Days In-Person (Norwich Clinic) | Strictly Limited to 1–2 Clinicians
Join us for the ultimate clinical confidence builder. Step into our working Norwich practice for a two-day, high-touch clinical placement alongside lead educator Ian Sadler. You will observe end-to-end patient care in real time—from initial biomechanical examination and diagnostic logic through to 3D prescription writing, fitting, and troubleshooting on real life biomechanics patients.
Real-World Context: See assessment protocols and 3D Orthotic Insole prescribing applied live in clinic.
1-on-1 Mentorship: Tailored guidance on your specific clinical questions and case challenges.
Ready to Prescribe: Leave fully equipped to seamlessly integrate 3D orthotic services into your own practice.
🗓️ More Details & 2027 Placement Dates Coming Soon!
Due to the intimate 1-to-1 nature of this training, placement slots are extremely limited.
For Clinic Owners: In House biomechanics & Orthotic Training
Upskill your team, unify your clinical protocols, and grow your biomechanics service.
Designed for clinical teams of 3+ practitioners (Podiatrists, Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, and MSK Clinicians). Led by Ian Sadler a 28 year MSK veteran, podiatrist, and expert educator (including designing core clinical protocols for Footscan technology and pioneering 3D-printed orthotic insole technologies). We bring specialist expertise directly to your practice to transform how your team assesses lower-limb biomechanics, interprets diagnostic data, and prescribes orthotic insoles.
Unify Your Team & Elevate Your Clinical Outcomes
In multi-practitioner clinics, MSK assessment styles, diagnostic confidence, and orthotic prescribing often vary widely between clinicians. Unused equipment or inconsistent protocols mean missed clinical and financial opportunities.
Our In-Clinic Workshops are delivered directly at your practice. We work with your team in their everyday environment, refining their clinical logic and establishing clear, reproducible protocols for lower-limb care.
Learn in Your Own Clinic: Practical, hands-on training using your team's existing assessment tools, treatment rooms, and technology.
Customised via 2 Pre-Course Calls: Tailored specifically around your clinic's patient demographic, skill mix, and goals.
Immediate Practice Impact: Build team confidence, generate internal referrals, and establish a high-margin MSK and orthotic prescription service.
Build Your Custom Curriculum
Select the exact modules your practice needs during our pre-course planning consultations:
Biomechanical Assessment: Functional foot, ankle, and knee examinations, joint range of motion testing, and gait analysis protocols.
Diagnostic Logic: Bridge the gap between physical examination findings and root cause pathology (e.g., Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendinopathy, Tib Post Dysfunction, Midfoot OA).
Orthotic Prescription & Materials Selection: Translate assessment data directly into precision orthotic prescriptions and optimal 3D-printed material choices.
Technology & Data Integration: Maximise your clinic’s existing technology—from pressure/force plates (including Footscan protocol mastery) to 3D scanning or traditional casting.
Patient Communication & Compliance: Refine how clinicians explain biomechanical findings to improve treatment plan acceptance and long-term compliance.
Internal Referrals & Team Alignment: Align multi-disciplinary teams (physios, podiatrists, osteopaths) to build seamless internal referral loops.
Fitting, Troubleshooting & Reviews: Practical techniques for modifying, fitting, and troubleshooting non-responsive cases.
A Self-Funding Clinical Investment
We structure our workshops so your practice sees a rapid, tangible return. By empowering a team of 3+ clinicians to consistently identify orthotic candidates and write confident prescriptions:
Prescribing just 3 to 5 additional pairs of custom 3D orthotics across your entire team completely covers the cost of a 1-Day Workshop within 2 months.
For a team of 4 clinicians, prescribing just 1 extra pair per clinician per month generates £7,000+ in new annual gross profit for your practice.
Unifying clinical protocols and establishing internal referral pathways creates sustainable, long-term practice growth.
