Orthotic Advice & Prescription Services in Gwelup

At Lake Gwelup Physiotherapy, we understand how foot biomechanics affect overall body function, particularly the lower limbs, hips, and lower back. If you’re experiencing pain or discomfort, our orthotic advice and prescription services may help reduce stress on injured or painful areas, allowing them to heal and function more effectively.

Why Consider Orthotics?

Orthotics can help:

  • Reduce strain on the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower back
  • Improve posture and alignment
  • Support recovery from lower limb injuries
  • Prevent recurrence of overuse or biomechanical conditions

Our Orthotic Assessment Process

Our experienced physiotherapists conduct a detailed assessment of foot biomechanics for patients presenting with lower limb or postural issues. Based on the assessment, we determine whether customised orthotic intervention is appropriate and provide personalised advice and prescription tailored to your individual needs and lifestyle.

Located in Gwelup and servicing nearby suburbs such as Karrinyup, Stirling, Balcatta, Innaloo, Carine, Lake Gwelup Physiotherapy offers professional, evidence-based solutions to keep you moving comfortably and confidently.
