We offer free first consults to anyone considering whether a prosthetic may be right for them. With locations in Constantia and the deep South of Cape Town, please reach out to make an appointment:

8 March is World Physical Therapy Day 🦵🤲

Improving mobility is rarely the work of a single person.

Orthotics and prosthetics often form part of that journey- providing the stability, alignment, and support that allow therapy to be more effective.

Physiotherapy is an essential stepping stone, helping patients build strength, improve balance, and regain movement after injury, surgery, or with neurological conditions.

Physios are real superheroes, and together we’re helping people move with greater confidence every day.

Tomorrow, 28 February, is Rare Disease Day.

For many people living with rare conditions, mobility challenges are part of everyday life. These conditions may be uncommon, but the need for thoughtful, consistent care is not.

Orthotic and prosthetic support can play an important role in improving comfort, stability, and independence- helping people move with greater confidence and quality of life. We’re proud to support patients and families navigating these journeys, and to be part of care that focuses on what is possible.

Insoles work hard every day, but they don’t last forever.

If foot discomfort has returned, your insoles feel different, or it’s been a while since your last review, it may be time to check whether they’re still providing the right support. Small changes in support can make a big difference to comfort, alignment, and how you move through your day.

A simple review can help ensure your insoles are ready to support you in the year ahead.

Gait analysis helps us understand how you move.

By using advanced assessment tools and technology, we can observe walking patterns, alignment, and areas of strain. This information guides the design of orthotic solutions that are tailored to your body and the way you move- improving comfort, function, and long-term support.

Technology allows us to be more precise, but it’s the clinical insight behind it that makes the difference.

Drop foot is a condition where the front of the foot can’t be lifted properly due to muscle weakness or nerve damage.

It’s often caused by stroke, multiple sclerosis, or injury. An ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) brace supports the foot and ankle, keeping the toes from dragging and improving walking safety and stability.

It’s a simple device that can make a big difference in confidence and mobility. 🦶

The agility, comfort, and overall capability of a prosthetic leg depend on many factors. One of the major ones is how well its socket fits; the foundation for fit, function, and confidence at every step.
