Our Practices
Highgate and Strathalbyn
Our main podiatry practice is located in Highgate, with a smaller practice in the town of Strathalbyn.
We don’t send our moulds to a third party to produce the orthotic. Torben produces custom orthotics in-house, from mould to finished insert. He creates the orthotic in his clinic, and is able to make adjustments when necessary.
