GO Orthotics End of Year Dates 2025 🎄 - https://mailchi.mp/89bf154ed645/go-orthotics-end-of-year-2025

24/10/2025

We had a unique challenge this week—a young patient of one of our clients is a huge Batman fan and asked if their orthotics could reflect their favourite superhero. 🦇

Our talented technician, Hayley, brought the vision to life with a fully customised, hand-crafted Batman-inspired orthotic.

The result? A perfect blend of clinical precision and creative flair—just in time for Halloween! 🎃

At GO Orthotics, we’re proud to support our clients in delivering orthotic solutions that are not only functional but also meaningful to the people who wear them.
