Orthotics in Bendigo

At Physiotherapy Centre Bendigo we understand that your feet are the foundation for good movement. They were designed to walk on natural soft surfaces but modern life and hard surfaces punish our feet, causing a range of biomechanical problems that lead to pain not just in the feet but the rest of the body as well.

What are orthotics?

Orthotics are a custom fitted insole worn inside your footwear to correct biomechanical and alignment issues. Orthotics can be made in a range of different materials, shapes and lengths to best support the needs of your feet and lower limbs.

How do orthotics help?

Poor foot biomechanics can lead to mal-alignment in other parts of the body, and fitting of the correct orthotics can lead to lasting relief for many chronic complaints such as:

Heel pain
Ball of foot pain/metatarsalgia
Knee pain
Shin splints
Aching legs
Hip pain and dysfunction
Low back pain
