Whether you have foot drop after a stroke or injury, a sports injury, arthritis or a long-term neurological condition, the right brace can help you walk further, more safely and with less pain. We make and fit custom and prefabricated braces for the foot, ankle, knee and hip.

  • Knee braces and supports, including for knee osteoarthritis
  • Hip orthoses
  • Foot orthoses and orthopaedic footwear advice, for example for heel pain

What to expect

We assess how you walk, discuss your goals, take measurements, casts or scans, then fit and adjust your brace. We follow up to make sure it is comfortable and working well.

Custom or prefabricated?

A prefabricated brace can be fitted quickly and suits many people. A custom brace is made to your shape and is often better for long-term use or complex needs. We will recommend what suits you and your funding.

Medical aid and funding

We accept medical aid, RAF and WCA/COIDA patients and help with the paperwork, including quotations and motivation letters. See how funding works.

Common questions

You do not always need a referral to book an assessment. Some medical aids and funders ask for a doctor's referral or prescription before they pay, so check with your scheme, and bring any letters, X-rays or reports you have.

Prefabricated braces can often be fitted at the same visit. Custom braces are made from your cast or scan and usually take a couple of weeks, depending on the brace and funder approval.

Most foot and ankle braces fit in a supportive shoe with a removable insole, sometimes a size larger. Bring the shoes you wear most often and we will advise.

Many plans cover orthoses under an appliance benefit, often with limits and pre-authorisation. We send a quotation and motivation and help with the claim. See how funding works.
