We have recently equipped the clinics with the latest Video Gait Analysis software - Silicon Coach.

Understanding your individual gait characteristics assists in prescribing the correct intervention for YOU.

Our podiatrists are the industry leaders in orthotic prescription, prescribing the most appropriate orthotic for an individual’s needs i.e. sport, occupation, footwear etc. We pride ourselves on regularly contacting our clients to ensure that they are getting the most out of their device, as we understand how important it is to get the orthotic right for YOU. We consult a professional orthotic lab to manufacture our devices, both hard and soft, depending on your needs.
