Custom foot orthotics in Geelong and Colac
At Prosper Health, our Geelong and Colac podiatrists may recommend custom orthotics as part of your overall treatment, depending on your condition and goals. Whether you need everyday support or sports orthotics, our team stays up to date with the latest research in both adult and children’s podiatry.
Orthotics can be effective for managing common foot issues like plantar fasciitis, bunions, arch pain, and lower limb fatigue. They're also useful for helping to prevent injuries in active individuals and athletes.
We begin by taking a thorough history to understand your symptoms and accurately diagnose the underlying cause. From there, we run a series of assessments including gait analysis, muscle strength testing, joint range of motion checks, and any relevant condition-specific tests.
If orthotics are required, they’re always included as part of a broader, holistic management plan. This may include stretching, strengthening, manual therapy or footwear advice to ensure all contributing factors are addressed, not just the symptoms.
How do orthotics actually work?
Modern research shows that orthotics are highly effective at altering how forces are distributed through the foot and up into the lower limb. Rather than “fixing” a foot shape, they help reduce pressure in overloaded areas and redirect it to structures better able to tolerate that load, leading to more efficient movement and reduced pain.
Our aim is to have our orthotic clients walking in confidently and leaving feeling even better.
If you’re considering custom orthotics or sports orthotics, Prosper Health in Geelong and Colac is here to help. We also offer support for heel pain and toenail surgery, making us your full-service podiatry team.

Frequently asked questions about podiatry
Custom orthotics can help manage a wide range of conditions affecting the feet and lower limbs. These include plantar fasciitis, heel pain, bunions, arch pain, flat feet, high arches, shin splints, and Achilles tendinopathy. They can also support people with knee or hip pain linked to poor foot biomechanics, or those recovering from overuse injuries.
We use the latest 3D scanning technology to capture an accurate model of each foot. This ensures your orthotics are 100% unique and tailored to your foot structure, activity level, and treatment goals. The devices are then 3D printed. Final adjustments are made in our in-house orthotic workspace, where we can make further modifications as needed to ensure the perfect fit and comfort
