A large population of the people in the UK have, or will have pains in their feet, knees, hips and lower back at some point in their life. This may be due to a specific trauma but most likely it will be down to the position of your feet and the resultant mal-alignment of their knees and hips.
The aim of the orthosis or insole, as it is commonly known, is to correct the foot position and optimise foot and body mechanics.
CLINICS
Clinics are held at the Spire Dunedin Hospital in Reading. Treatment is provided in conjunction with Orthopaedic Consultants and and a large and experiencded Physiotherapy team.
TREATMENT OF CHILDREN
The treatment of children is an on-going process. As your child's feet grow so does the need for them to be wearing orthoses that are the correct size for their feet. We recognise that this important part of treatment can be a financial burden, especially when the sums are added up along a 10-year period, requiring a new orthoses almost every 18months. For this reason, children who will require orthoses will be supplied at the reduced price. If you yourself are a patient with us then we will be happy to assess your child at no extra cost. We do not believe in charging increased prices that make them out of reach for you to be able to give your child the treatment they need. Our goal is to make it affordable for parents to give their child the necessary treatment they need.
HOME VISITS
We can see you in the comfort of your own home! We ask ourselves, if you have problems with your feet, then why do we ask you to come see us? For no extra charge, we will see you at your home. This is a free service for those people within a 20mile radius of Reading. Further charges will be involved for longer distances, but we assure you, these are not much.
