Specialised orthoses for the management of acute and long term conditions
Empowering you to recover faster and manage long term conditions with greater support.
Over the past 35 years we’ve designed an array of highly specialised braces and supports that are customised to meet the needs of each individual.
From assessment to design, manufacturing and fitting, we understand that custom orthoses can be very subjective and there is not always a clear-cut prescription. Our devices are made through modern manufacturing techniques and innovative materials that help you achieve the best possible outcomes.
With access to the widest group of clinical Orthotists in Australia, this experience and knowledge drives us to pursue treatments that will facilitate optimal healing and improve your quality of life. Our mission is to ensure you are being provided with considered and holistic orthotic management that empowers you to live actively and independently.

Frequently asked Custom Bracing questions
Do I have a say in the fabrication of my custom brace?
Your Orthotist will take the time to have an in depth discussion about the factors that will affect patient outcomes. We have a broad knowledge of materials and componentry and will consider all aspects of meeting the patients needs.
Is a custom made device the best option to meet my needs?
We offer a large range of off-the-shelf and custom devices and there may be times when an off-the-shelf device is more appropriate than a custom design. Your Orthotist will be able to provide advice and prescribe the most appropriate device for your needs.
Will there be a 'wearing-in' process?
Some devices do require gradual wearing in to prevent issues such as rubbing or pressure. Your Orthotist will be able to provide education on the wearing in process and the issues to look out for. If pressure or discomfort persists please get in contact with your Orthotist.
Can my custom made orthosis be adjusted?
Yes, most devices can be adjusted to improve the fit, please contact your Orthotist for a review of your device.
Can I book a review appointment?
Review appintments within 2 weeks of fitting your custom device do not incur a charge as it is our priority to ensure the device is meeting your goals. If there is any on-going issues do not hesitate to get in touch with your Orthotist who will be happy to provide advice either over the phone or review in person.
