Why You Should Consider More Than One Pair of Orthotics Before the Year Ends

As the year begins to wind down, it's a great time to consider making the most of your private health insurance benefits. Many health funds reset at the end of the year, meaning now is the perfect opportunity to ensure you’re taking full advantage of your entitlements, particularly when it comes to orthotics.

Having just one pair of orthotics might seem sufficient, but the truth is that owning multiple pairs can significantly enhance your comfort, convenience, and overall foot health. Most private health insurance plans cover the cost of one pair of orthotics annually, but did you know that if you've already had your scans done, you can obtain a second pair at a discounted rate? This means that for many of our patients, an additional pair can often be secured for less than $100 out of pocket.

If you don’t have private health don’t worry we still do a special deal for anyone wanting to get a subsequent pair. With the subsequent pair coming in at only $450 its a great way to take advantage of maximising your foot health.

Why Investing in Multiple Pairs of Orthotics Is Worth It 

Convenience Across Multiple Pairs of Shoes: If you frequently switch between different types of shoes—such as work shoes, runners, or casual footwear—having a dedicated pair of orthotics for each can save you the hassle of constantly swapping them out. This is especially beneficial if you forget to switch them from one pair to another, ensuring you’re always supported, no matter what shoes you’re wearing.

Backup for Wet or Damaged Orthotics: Life happens, and sometimes that means your orthotics can get wet or damaged. Whether it’s a sudden downpour or a spill, having a second pair on hand means you won’t have to go without the proper support while your primary pair dries out or gets repaired.

Fit for Hard-to-Fit Shoes: If you have shoes that are difficult to fit with your current orthotics, having a second, customised pair can make all the difference. This ensures that no matter what style of shoe you’re wearing, your feet are always properly supported.

Peace of Mind for Parents: If you have children who wear orthotics, you know how easy it can be for them to misplace things. An extra pair can be a lifesaver, ensuring they’re never without the proper support, even if one pair goes missing.

Maximising Your Private Health Benefits: By securing an additional pair of orthotics before the end of the year, you’re making the most of your private health benefits. Many patients don’t realize that they’re leaving money on the table by not using their full entitlements, which often reset at the start of the new year. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to improve your foot health while taking advantage of your insurance
