Orthotics ~ Supports ~ Braces

We are a specialist provider of custom and off the shelf orthotics and physiotherapy supports and braces. Our physiotherapists constantly monitor the market and review and test products from leading manufacturers from the U.K., Europe and the USA + Canada to ensure we provide the highest quality orthoses and braces.

One of our specialist practitioners can advise you and fit the most appropriate product for your condition and specific requirements. Alternatively if you cannot attend the practice we can provide advice by e mail or over the telephone to ensure you purchase the correct product.

Orthotics

The term orthotic usually refers to specialist insoles that correct biomechanical abnormality in the foot and ankle thus reducing stress further up the anatomical chain such as the knee, hip or spine.

Abnormal movement such as the foot flattening on impact ( pronation) or remaining in a stiff arched position ( supination) can lead to abnormal stress transmission throughout the musculo-skeletal system leading to poor performance and injury.

Some issues are so severe that individuals require a podiatry assessment and custom made orthotics which tend to be in the hundreds of pounds. However many problems can be mitigated by careful assessment and provision of mouldable or off the shelf products at a fraction of the cost.

Orthotics unlike many joint support braces require specialist fitting and assessment and hence we advise that you undertake an orthotic assessment session prior to purchase.

Our trained staff will provide an assessment session and fit the most appropriate and cost effective orthotic for you. If you have a more serious issue requiring further specialist assessment by a podiatrist or a surgeon they will organise a referral for you and provide you with a written report detailing your requirements all included in the cost of your orthotic assessment session.

Our 30 minute Orthotic Assessment session costs £ 35 and includes

  • Biomechanical assessment
  • Mobility Assessment
  • Medical history screen
  • Injury History screen
  • Device fitting where appropriate
  • Referral letter and report where appropriate

Orthotics are paid for separately and our orthotics start at just £12 and range to £50.
