Orthotic devices are used to provide pressure relief, correct or accommodate deformity, and to improve function. Our orthotists will assess, measure and fit orthotic devices for all parts of the body using biomechanical principles.
General orthotic clinics typically run on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Referrals are accepted from consultants, GPs, physiotherapists, and other allied health professionals.
