Founded in 2004, the London Orthotic Consultancy is a private clinic that provides bespoke orthotic treatments for a wide range of adult and paediatric medical conditions.
Being a truly independent clinic allows us to prescribe the orthotics we believe are most suitable for our patients, rather than being restricted to a limited, specified corporate range. We are passionate about innovative and evidence-based orthotic solutions and their capabilities to improve lives. Conditions like pectus deformities and scoliosis can now be treated very successfully without surgery with the bespoke braces that we manufacture on-site at our headquarters clinic in Kingston.
