What’s the difference between a custom brace and an off-the-shelf brace?

An off-the-shelf brace is a standard product designed to fit a wide range of users. A custom brace, however, is made specifically for your body, condition, and lifestyle.

Orthotic House offers both options, and our orthotists will recommend the most suitable solution based on your assessment.

We have a range of orthotic bracing solutions, including ankle, knee, upper body, and spinal supports. These braces are designed to improve stability, reduce strain, and support recovery from injury or chronic conditions.

For children with developmental delay, cerebral palsy, spina bifida or hypertonia, an AFO (ankle-foot orthosis) can provide valuable support on their journey.

AFOs can help with alignment, balance, posture and joint positioning, while supporting more comfortable movement and reducing the impact of poor walking patterns.

And because every child is unique, we offer a wide range of customised AFOs designed to provide support and style. ✅💚

Because feeling supported should also mean feeling confident!

Are orthotics right for me?

A common misconception is that orthotics are only for seniors. In reality, orthotics can benefit people of all ages, from children and active adults to older individuals.

Orthotics are designed to support proper alignment, distribute pressure more evenly, and address biomechanical issues that can contribute to pain and discomfort.

At Orthotic House, we specialise in custom orthotic solutions, orthotic footwear, supportive bracing, and other orthotic solutions that help you regain comfort, mobility, and confidence in your daily life.

Our expert team is here to help.

If you’ve recently been prescribed an orthotic device, or you’re considering one for the first time, it’s natural to have questions about how they work, how long they take to feel comfortable, and whether you’ll need to wear them long-term.

Orthotic devices are used to support movement, improve alignment, and help people manage a wide range of neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. However, every person’s needs are different, which means the type of orthosis prescribed and the expected outcomes can vary considerably.

In this Ask an Orthotist article, we speak with Zeshan Zahid, who answers some of the most common questions patients ask about orthotics, from how long they take to work through to how custom devices are made.
