LEWis Brand Orthotics: Discover the wonders of orthotics, the tailored solutions that provide unparalleled support, alignment, and relief for full body symptoms.
Orthotics refers to the field of healthcare that focuses on the design, manufacture and use of custom-made or prefabricated devices called orthoses.
Orthoses are designed to support, align, or improve the function of various parts of the body, but primarily, feet, ankles and lower limbs.
What is it?
An orthosis is any splint, support, or externally applied device used to assist with pain management, alignment concerns and mobility issues. Mobility problems are resolved with engineering solutions using orthotic devices. Common examples include knee braces, and bespoke shoe insoles
Who is it for?
Orthotics are suitable for individuals experiencing pain, mobility challenges, alignment issues, or conditions requiring external support. This includes people managing conditions such as osteoarthritis, foot drop, neurological disorders, or those recovering from injury or surgery. Orthotics also offer effective solutions for those who prefer to avoid or cannot undergo surgery, providing increased comfort, improved function, and greater independence through personalized orthotic devices.
Who does it?
The clinical specialist orthotist for LEWis BRAND Orthotics is Laura Aggett, who completed her studies at the National Centre for Training and Education in Prosthetics and Orthotics at Strathclyde University in Glasgow, graduating in 2010.
