Orthotics

 

We design, develop, create, and fit custom braces, or orthoses, to maximize physical function.

  • Certified orthotist specializing in pediatrics
  • Each orthosis is custom-fitted, with many custom fabricated specifically for a child
  • Our specialists support the family through every stage of the process: meeting to assess the child’s needs and goals, taking careful measurements and casts to ensure proper fit, building the device, fitting it, and following up to make sure the device functions well as the child grows
