Foot Orthoses (FOs)

Custom made foot orthoses are specifically crafted shoe inserts that can manipulate the position and movement of the foot and ankle when mobilising. They are used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal problems such as plantar fasciopathy, heel spurs, metatarsalgia, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, shin splints and knee pain.  They can also be very effective at offloading specific painful areas of the foot.

Ankle - Foot Orthoses (AFOs)

Ankle-Foot Orthoses, or AFOs, are orthoses used to manipulate the position and the function of the ankle joint. They can be used to oppose calf muscle tone in conditions such as cerebral palsy or after a stroke, or to assist with lifting the foot during gait in the event of a foot-drop. There are a variety of different styles of AFO with a variety of functions. You can organise an appointment with our Orthotist to discuss the options best for you!

Peninsula Orthotics is the proud and exclusive Victorian distributor of the iWalk 3.0.
The iWalk 3.0 is a hands free crutch system that allows you to weight-bear whilst recovering from an ankle or foot injury.
It gives you greater independence than other aids such as a knee scooter or elbow crutches as it does not require your hands to operate it.
