What We Do

Our orthotic services include

View All Services
Custom Foot Orthoses
Manufacture of custom foot orthoses tailored to your individual needs. These devices help improve foot function, relieve pain, and provide long term support for conditions such as flat feet, plantar fasciitis, arthritis, and sports-related injuries.
Ankle-Foot Orthosis (AFOs) & Foot Drop Solutions
Custom ankle-foot orthoses designed to stabilise and support the ankle and foot. These devices assist with mobility, correct alignment, and help manage conditions such as drop foot, neurological disorders, or post-surgical recovery.
Lithotripsy / Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain in chronic musculoskeletal conditions. It is particularly effective for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and other persistent soft tissue injuries.
Medical Grade Footwear Modifications
We specialise in modifying medical-grade footwear to enhance comfort, function, and mobility. Modifications may include carbon fibre shanks, rockers, lifts, and extra depth/width adjustments to accommodate orthoses and specific medical requirements.
Fittings for Braces and Support Options
We offer professional fittings for a wide range of braces and supports to ensure comfort, stability, and effectiveness. This includes knee braces, ankle supports, and other assistive devices tailored to your condition and lifestyle needs.
