Sore knees after a walk? Hips that ache by the end of the day? Sometimes that's the knee or hip itself, sometimes it's how your foot's landing, and the pain just shows up higher.

A gait assessment tells us what's actually going on, and what support makes sense for you.

Great to see Leon back home and doing well.

Chris recently worked with Leon to modify this protective helmet, ensuring it was tailored to his specific requirements. Achieving the right fit, function and comfort is an important part of any orthosis, and we're pleased to see Leon back home and enjoying being out in the community.

LEON IS OUT OF HOSPITAL AND BACK HOME
Great news that Leon is back and looking good. This is his new custom made helmet which he must use when he’s up and about. He decided not to go with the Viking Helmet, it was too heavy. This one is as light as a feather.

Today the team at Geelong Orthotics and Geelong Footwear swapped our usual socks for some colourful ones in support of Crazy Socks 4 Docs Day. 🧦💚

This important initiative shines a light on mental wellbeing in healthcare and encourages open conversations about mental health.

We asked Penny, one of our orthotists with extensive experience in diabetic wound management, what she considers when supporting wound healing.
Her perspective reinforces that effective diabetic foot care is never one‑dimensional. Healing depends on a coordinated team addressing circulation, infection control, pressure offloading, and the everyday choices that influence how the foot functions and heals.

Your fitting appointment is all about comfort and confidence. We adjust your orthotics onsite, guide you through wear‑in instructions, and explain what to expect during the first week.
Then we lock in your two‑week review to make sure everything’s settling exactly as it should.
