Meet The Inventor Of Orthaheel Arch
Support Products
|
Phillip John Vasyli - was
born and raised in Tweed Heads (NSW,
Australia). In 1970 the Vasyli family moved
to Sydney, where Phillip studied Podiatric
Medicine at the School of Podiatry.
In 1978 he graduated and started practicing
in a number of clinics throughout Sydney.
During his 16 years of medical practice
Phillip Vasyli has treated over 50,000
patients!
A great deal of his time was
spent treating young children as well as
athletes . In addition to his busy medical
practice Phillip was involved
in ground-breaking research in Lower
Limb Biomechanics and arch
support treatments.

His first aim was to make arch
support treatment more affordable and
accessible to people in need of pain relief
and walking comfort. In 1979 an orthotic
manufacturing company was founded and named
‘Australian Orthotic
Laboratory’
(AOL)
.
At first, the laboratory
produced custom-made orthotics in the
‘traditional way’: rigid, plastic arch
support, hand-made from a plaster cast
taken from the patient’s
foot.
Although effective, ‘traditional’
orthotics can take weeks to produce and
are often costly. To provide his
patients with a more efficient, less
expensive alternative Phillip invented
a range of heat-moldable pre-fabricated
orthotics which can be dispensed and
customised on-the-spot without the need
for any
casting!
Today, thousands of medical
practitioners around the world are
using this unique invention and VASYLI
heat-moldable orthotics are the leading
medically dispensed orthotic in many
countries.
In 1991 Phillip Vasyli invented the
award-winning ORTHAHEEL arch
support (regular orthotic) - the
world's first and only true orthotic
available without a doctor's
prescription. Since its launch in
1991 an estimated 4 million people in
Australia, England, Canada and New
Zealand have purchased a pair of
ORTHAHEEL arch support products and are
now enjoying pain-free
walking.
