➡️ MYTH 1: Orthotics are just fancy insoles that anyone can buy off the shelf.
✅ FACT 1: While over-the-counter insoles exist, custom foot orthotics are vastly different. They are precisely moulded to your unique foot structure and gait, based on a professional assessment. This personalised approach provides specific support and correction that generic insoles cannot. They're medical devices, not just cushioning!

"In this highly challenging and emotional journey of scoliosis, there have been many fears, anxieties and obstacles. There is no question that the critical piece of the puzzle in this journey is the supervising doctor.

He superseded our expectations in his medical expertise and was above and beyond in terms of his care, love and warmth along this journey.

From our first appointment onwards, every step was explained, details were laid out and options and goals were set. We were never on our own.
