The Team

What makes us different?

Life is busy, and we understand that you don’t have time to be injured.

Our post-treatment plans often include things you can do at home, at your office desk, or on the school run. We will adapt your treatment to suit your needs and your lifestyle.

Our approach is holistic, and we offer a full treatment plan with a focus on treatment, prevention, and education.

We provide state-of-the-art custom foot and ankle orthoses, manufactured by specialist laboratories. We can also proudly make our orthoses on-site which means we can produce these in a matter of days. We can modify/repair your own current orthoses on-site.

We understand first-hand the positive impact that living a mobile, active, and pain-free life has on a person’s mental and physical well-being and this drives our passion for giving people back the freedom to move!
