We regularly support patients across the Northern Beaches, including Manly, Dee Why, Brookvale, Freshwater, Seaforth and Mosman.
Whether your goal is to return to sport, stay comfortable on your feet at work, or reduce recurring pain, our podiatrists will guide you toward the most appropriate orthotic option for your body and lifestyle.
Orthotics are specialised shoe inserts designed to support foot function, improve alignment and redistribute pressure through the feet and lower limbs.
They may be used to:
👣 Support the arches
👣 Reduce strain on muscles and joints
👣 Improve walking and running mechanics
👣 Assist with injury recovery
👣 Enhance everyday comfort
Orthotics are often a key part of podiatry care for both active and non-active patients.
At Sydney Podiatry Co, we understand that no two patients and no two conditions are the same. That’s why we offer a range of orthotic solutions tailored to different needs, activity levels and budgets.
Depending on your diagnosis and goals, we may recommend:
A high-quality prefabricated option, ideal for mild conditions, early support, or everyday comfort.
A customised modification of a proven orthotic style, offering excellent support for many common injuries.
Individually prescribed and made specifically for your feet and biomechanics, often recommended for complex, long-standing or high-demand cases.
Our podiatrists will help you choose the most appropriate option based on your symptoms, foot structure, lifestyle and clinical requirements, ensuring a holistic approach thats tailored to you and your feet.
Orthotics may be recommended for a wide range of concerns, including:
👣 Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
👣 Flat feet or high arches
👣 Achilles tendon pain
👣 Shin splints
👣 Knee, hip or lower back pain linked to foot biomechanics
👣 Arthritis in the feet or ankles
👣 Overuse injuries in runners
👣 Children with gait or alignment concerns
👣 Workers who spend long hours standing

Orthotics are never one-size-fits-all. At Sydney Podiatry Co, we take a detailed and personalised approach to ensure the best outcome.
Your assessment may include:
We assess how your feet function during standing and walking, and how this influences the rest of your lower limbs.
Where appropriate, we evaluate movement patterns to identify areas of strain or inefficiency.
We review the shoes you wear day-to-day and provide guidance on the best styles to pair with orthotics.
We recommend the most suitable orthotic option, whether off-the-shelf, semi-custom or fully custom.
We ensure your orthotics are comfortable, effective and properly adjusted over time.
Many people try pharmacy or sports-store insoles before seeking professional care. While these can offer general cushioning, they are not designed to address specific biomechanical needs or injuries.
Podiatrist-prescribed orthotics provide:
👣 A tailored approach based on your foot structure and diagnosis
👣 More targeted support for pain relief and injury management
👣 Higher-quality materials and longer-term durability
👣 Professional fitting, adjustment and follow-up care
👣 Options ranging from simple support through to advanced correction
Our goal is always to match the right orthotic solution to your needs, whether that’s a straightforward off-the-shelf device or a fully customised prescription.
Orthotics prescribed by a registered podiatrist are often claimable through private health insurance, depending on your level of extras cover.
Rebates vary between health funds, and our team can provide item numbers and guidance to help you claim appropriately.
