Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which option is right for me?

It starts with an assessment of your feet, how you move and your footwear. We’ll talk you through the options and only recommend support if it suits you.

Do I need custom orthotics, or will a prefabricated insole do?

It depends on your feet and your goals. Prefabricated options suit some people well, and we’ll let you know if custom orthotics are worth it for you.

Can I claim on private health?

We don’t offer on-the-spot claiming. If your extras cover includes orthotics or braces, you can claim with your fund using your itemised receipt.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book directly with a podiatrist.
