Precision Custom Orthotics for Lasting Pain Relief
At Move Podiatry, we create truly custom orthotics. We use state-of-the-art 3D laser scanning and in-house design to build a medical device that is prescribed not just for your foot, but for your specific condition, your lifestyle, and your shoes
Not All Orthotics Are Created Equal
It’s important to know the difference between an “insole” and a “custom orthotic.”
An off-the-shelf insole is a generic, pre-made cushion. It can sometimes provide temporary relief but cannot correct your specific biomechanical faults.
A Move Podiatry Custom Orthotic is a prescription medical device. It is designed by a podiatrist from a 3D scan of your foot to correct your specific alignment, offload pressure from injured tissues, and resolve pain at its source.
Treat the Root Cause of Pain
Instead of just cushioning a sore spot, a custom orthotic corrects the underlying mechanical issue (like poor alignment) that is causing your pain in the first place.
Truly Personalised Fit
Unlike a generic insole, our orthotics are prescribed just for you, built from a 3D scan of your foot to support your unique structure and fit your specific shoes.
Long-Term Prevention
By correcting your body’s alignment from the ground up, orthotics reduce abnormal stress on your feet, knees, and back, helping to prevent your pain from returning.
Our High-Tech Process: How We Create Your Perfect Fit
We have invested in the industry’s most advanced technology to ensure your orthotic is 100% accurate. We leave nothing to chance.
Step 1: The Biomechanical Assessment
It all starts with your podiatrist. We conduct a full analysis of your lower limbs, including video gait analysis, to see how your body moves and diagnose the root cause of your pain.
Step 2: 3D Laser Scanning (No Messy Plaster)
We use a Paromed 3D Laser Foot Scanner to capture a high-definition, 100% accurate digital impression of your foot. This is far more precise than old-fashioned plaster casts and captures your foot's exact contours in a weight-bearing or partial weight-bearing position.
Step 3: In-House Design & Milling
Your podiatrist—the same person who diagnosed you—personally designs your orthotic using advanced CAD/CAM software. We do not send your scan to an overseas lab. We control every millimetre of the design and mill your orthotics right here, ensuring a perfect, tailored fit.
What Can Custom Orthotics Help With?
A custom orthotic is a powerful tool for correcting the underlying mechanical issues that cause pain.
We prescribe them to successfully treat a wide range of conditions, including:
- Plantar Fasciitis (Heel & Arch Pain)
- Bunions
- Achilles Tendinopathy
- Morton’s Neuroma & Forefoot Pain
- Arthritis
- Kid’s Foot Concerns (e.g., flat feet, Sever’s)
- Shin Splints
- Ankle Pain & Instability
Your Custom Orthotic Questions Answered
Will my orthotics be big, bulky, and hard?
Not at all. This is a common myth based on old-fashioned orthotics. Because we design them in-house, we can create slim-fit orthotics for work or dress shoes, as well as more supportive pairs for your running shoes.
Do I have to buy new shoes?
We design your orthotics to fit your life. We will ask you to bring in your most-worn shoes (e.g., work, sport, casual) to your appointment. We can then design a device that works with your existing footwear.
How long do custom orthotics last?
Our custom EVA orthotics are built for durability. While the cover may need replacing every 1-2 years, the orthotic “shell” itself often lasts for many years. We will review them at your annual check-ups.
Why are these better than the ones I can get at the chemist?
A chemist insole is designed to fit a shoe size. Our orthotics are designed to fit your foot’s specific problem. They are prescription devices made from a 3D scan, designed to correct your biomechanics—something a generic cushion can never do.
Are custom orthotics covered by private health insurance?
Yes. Most private health funds with “extras” cover provide a rebate for custom podiatry orthotics. We recommend checking with your fund to confirm your level of cover.
