for Children and their families
At NVOPS, we understand that appointments aren’t always a child’s favourite activity—they’d much rather be out having fun! That’s why our paediatric orthotist, Lynne, is committed to making the process as easy and positive as possible for children and their families. Her focus is on providing comfortable orthoses that support function, mobility, standing, and positioning. She also works closely with other health professionals in each child’s care team to achieve the best outcomes.
To make visits easier, we offer:
After-school appointments (very popular—book early!)
A dedicated child-friendly space at our Shepparton practice, complete with play for younger children
A sticker collection to celebrate kids’ efforts at the end of their appointment
Double appointments for families travelling long distances, with a break in between to check fit, comfort, and function of orthoses before heading home
A monthly visiting service in Wangaratta to reduce travel needs
for injuries and after operations
NVOPS has an orthotist dedicated to providing the most clinically suitable device and advice for your injury and offers a same day service for acute injuries.
In order to provide the best care a referral is required, this allows the most suitable orthosis prescription to be made.
The correct customised or custom orthosis, personalised fitting and advice on use is important in achieving injury healing.
For clients with neuromuscular conditions
The range of service and device options available for clients with physical effects of conditions such as MS, stroke, polio and acquired brain injury at NVOPS is extensive. Ankle foot orthoses (AFOs), Knee Ankle foot orthoses (KAFOs) and upper limb orthoses are available to assist with function and mobility. We also offer assessment and trial of functional electrical stimulation devices.
