Meet The Founder
Dr Samuel Ong
Australian Podiatrist of the Year | Foot Biomechanics Specialist | Advocate for Movement
Hi, I’m Sam – A podiatrist, husband, dad, and the founder of The Movement Custom Orthotics.
I started this clinic with a simple belief:
"Movement is a gift we should never take for granted"
Over the years, I’ve seen how easily pain can steal that gift — a subtle ache becomes a limp, and suddenly, walks get shorter, sports feel harder, or you start hesitating on stairs. Most people don’t realise how often it starts at the feet.
After working in both private clinics and multidisciplinary settings, I noticed something missing: most treatments focused on managing pain, but not solving what caused it.
I wanted to create a space that did things differently — where every detail of your movement was assessed and where orthotics weren’t an afterthought, but a precision tool to restore function.
What Makes Us Different
At The Movement, we don’t do general podiatry. We specialise in custom orthotic therapy — because that’s where we’ve seen the biggest impact.
Our assessments go beyond “arch height” or shoe advice. We look at how your feet affect your knees, hips, posture, and even your energy levels. We use that information to design orthotics that are not just supportive, but transformative.
I believe in clear communication, detailed analysis, and practical solutions backed by research. I also believe people don’t want to be sold orthotics — they want to understand why their body feels the way it does, and what will actually help.
My Motivation
I’ve been fortunate to receive national recognition, including the Australian Podiatrist of the Year award, but honestly – the real reward is seeing someone walk out of the clinic more confident, more comfortable, and ready to move again.
It’s not just about fixing feet — it’s about giving people back their energy, their independence, and sometimes even their identity.
Whether it’s a parent who can finally keep up with their kids, or an older adult who feels steady on their feet again, those are the moments that matter most to me.
That’s what this clinic is built around: not just outcomes, but quality of life.
Ready to move better?
Whether you’ve tried everything or nothing at all, we start with a detailed assessment to understand what’s really going on — no pressure, just insight.
Let’s get you moving again — with purpose and confidence.
