Concerned about your child’s movement or foot development?
As children grow, their feet and lower limbs go through constant change. Poor alignment, flat feet or repeated impact from sport and activity can lead to fatigue, discomfort and ongoing strain. Kids orthotics help guide natural movement, support developing structures and improve how the feet function under load — not just short-term relief.
If your child is experiencing heel pain, knee discomfort or recurring issues during activity, orthotics can help address the underlying cause. You can also explore our foot pain orthotics to understand how orthotics support both development and long-term foot health.
How kids orthotics support movement and development
Kids orthotics work by supporting the way your child’s feet move and develop, helping improve alignment, reduce strain and promote more efficient movement during everyday activity and sport. At Absolute Footcare, our podiatrists prescribe orthotics based on your child’s feet, movement and stage of growth, ensuring the right level of support without restricting natural development.
COMMON ISSUES KIDS ORTHOTICS CAN HELP WITH
Flat feet & poor arch development
Repetitive sport and activity can place strain on your children’s feet and lower limbs. Kids orthotics can help reduce stress during movement. Support healthy foot development with our flat feet orthotics for kids designed for growing feet.
Heel pain
(Sever’s disease)
Growth-related heel pain is common in active children. Orthotics help support the heel and reduce strain on the growth plate during activity. Support growing heels affected by Sever’s disease with our kids heel pain orthotics designed for active children.
Knee pain
(Osgood Schlatter’s)
Poor foot alignment can contribute to stress through the knees and legs. Orthotics help improve alignment and reduce excessive load. Reduce strain from Osgood-Schlatter’s with our kids knee pain orthotics built for developing bodies.
Growing pains
& leg fatigue
Inefficient movement can lead to early fatigue. Orthotics support better movement patterns, helping kids stay active for longer. Help manage growing pains and fatigue with our kids prevention orthotics for everyday movement.

What age should a child get orthotics?
Orthotics can be recommended at different ages depending on your child’s development and symptoms. If your child is experiencing pain, fatigue or movement concerns, it may be worth having their feet assessed.

🎥 How to Record Your Walking Video
To get the perfect prescription, our podiatrists need to see how you walk. Don’t worry — it’s quick and easy! Watch the short video below for a simple guide on how to film your walking video at home.
1. Find a flat, clear space
A hallway, driveway or quiet footpath works well. Make sure the area is clear of obstacles.
2. Set up your phone/camera
Ask a friend or family member to film or place your phone on a stable surface about 3–4 metres away.
3. Walk naturally
Walk away from the camera for 5–6 steps, then turn and walk back towards it.
Repeat this 2–3 times at your normal walking pace.
4. Check your video
Make sure your feet and legs are clearly visible in the frame and the video isn’t shaky or blurry.
5. Upload with your assessment
Attach the video when completing your online assessment and you’re done!
