Orthotics :: George Eliot Hospital

Orthotics Image.png The orthotics team provides in-patient and out-patient orthotics services within George Eliot Hospital and the surrounding area.

We currently accept referrals from therapists and consultants within the trust.

Orthotists are registered allied health professionals who assess, measure and fit supportive devices (orthoses) to patients. Examples include insoles, footwear, braces or splints. They act to support the body to aid balance and mobility, reduce pain, prevent injury or tissue breakdown, or reduce contracture risk.

Orthotists’ expertise is in gait analysis, biomechanics and support. We work as both autonomous practitioners and as part of teams to provide solutions aid rehabilitation and recovery.
