Whilst conservative scoliosis management remains the core of Hugh’s independent practice, with over 30 years of clinical experience within the NHS and private sector, he is well-placed to offer a high quality Orthotics service to address the needs of most patients.
Orthotists are qualified to assess a huge range of clinical conditions, from plantar callous management, plantar fasciitis and arthritic ankles, right through to knee, hip, upper limb and spinal conditions. Years of collaborative working with Physiotherapists means that a team approach can be tailored to each client to give the best possible outcome. Hugh takes a patient-centred approach to his assessments, where listening to and understanding the needs and lifestyle of each client ensures an outcome that will address the clinical condition and enable the client to live their best life possible within the limitations of their pathology.
Over the years, Hugh has engaged with a network of professionals and suppliers, many of whom are at the leading edge of Orthotic technology and offer the most innovative and effective devices available. The use of digital technology is now at the forefront of clinical advancements, and Hugh has embraced these changes to great effect.
However, he will not ignore a ‘simple fix for a simple problem’ – you will be offered a range of appropriate solutions, from the most basic of insoles to the latest 3D functional devices, from a simple knee wrap to a custom-made carbon fibre knee brace – you will be in control of what is prescribed with all the relevant information in front of you.
The range of Orthoses Hugh can supply includes:
- Insoles and functional insoles
- Bespoke footwear and footwear adaptations
- Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs)
- Ankle bracing
- Knee bracing
