 As a clinical team we work jointly with podiatry, physiotherapy and orthopaedics and are an integral part of  the diabetes and paediatric Multi-Disciplinary Teams.

 

We provide a wide range of both custom and ready-made orthoses including insoles and specialist footwear, ankle foot orthoses (AFOs), knee ankle foot orthoses (KAFOs), knee braces, spinal braces for both acute and chronic conditions, protective helmets.
