What to expect at your Romford appointment

At your first appointment, we take the time to understand your condition, lifestyle, and goals. Your orthotist will perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include physical evaluation, gait analysis, or digital scans depending on your needs.

We’ll then explain your orthotic treatment options clearly and, if you’re ready to proceed, take measurements for your orthosis. Fittings typically follow within a few weeks, and we ensure each device offers both precision and comfort.
