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.

📣 Geelong Orthotics Is Moving!
After more than 25 years at our Bellerine Street clinic, we’re excited to be moving into a purpose‑built space designed to support our clients.

From Monday 2 February, all appointments will take place at our new location:
21/158 Fyans Street, South Geelong.

This move gives us more room for advanced gait analysis, improved accessibility for all patients, easier parking and better clinic flow and a space designed for regional and rural clients to receive faster, more consistent care

If you already have an appointment booked on or after 2 February, it will automatically take place at the new clinic, no action needed.

We’re looking forward to welcoming you to the new space.

We asked Ben, one of our Senior Orthotists, about a common misconception in orthotics.
His answer? Orthoses are just one part of the picture. The best outcomes often involve a combination of strategies like footwear changes, stretching programs, and collaboration with other health professionals.

We are pleased to offer a school-based orthotics clinic at Barwon Valley School, supporting students in a familiar and supportive environment.
Providing assessments on site helps reduce disruption to the school day and minimises the need for families to attend external appointments. For many students, being seen in a known setting can also make the process more comfortable and less stressful.
Geelong Orthotics values the opportunity to work alongside schools and families to support student wellbeing in a practical and accessible way.

As 2025 draws to a close, we’re reflecting on the year at Geelong Orthotics and Footwear. We’ve had the privilege of supporting so many wonderful people in achieving their goals, and we’re grateful for the trust our community places in us.
Here’s to continuing our work with the Geelong and broader regional community in 2026!

🎒 Back to school shoe shopping?
Three things that matter more than brand or price:
✔️ A firm heel (it shouldn’t squash easily)
✔️ Flexibility at the toes - not the middle
✔️ Enough width for growing feet.

We see a lot of foot pain this time of year where footwear comes into play, especially when shoes aren’t giving growing feet enough support or room.

Save this for shoe shopping day!

Recently Chris spent two days at the Royal Children’s Hospital learning to fabricate the Fior & Gentz Neuro Swing AFO using wet‑lamination techniques with Össur. Continuous learning means better precision, better durability, and better outcomes for the people we support.
