FROM ORTHOTIC CONSULTANTS
NEW CLINIC · OCTOBER 2026
We have teamed up with VIM Health to offer a joint physiotherapy and orthotics clinic in Sussex, bringing specialist assessment and rehabilitation closer together.
Our first clinic took place on 5 October 2026. Led by Zishan Akhtar alongside the VIM Health team, the service gives patients the opportunity to have their walking, orthotic needs and rehabilitation goals considered together.
Orthotics and physiotherapy often work hand in hand. By collaborating in the clinic, we can discuss how a brace or insole fits into the wider picture of movement, comfort and rehabilitation.
The service includes assessment for custom insoles, ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs), specialist footwear and other braces and supports, together with reviews of existing orthotics. Recommendations are tailored to each patient following assessment.
If you are experiencing pain when walking, foot drop, difficulty with balance or problems with an existing brace or insole, the team can help assess whether orthotic support may be suitable.
VIM Health supports people living with neurological and musculoskeletal conditions through individual physiotherapy and rehabilitation programmes. Their team combines hands-on therapy with rehabilitation technology, with treatment guided by each person's needs and goals.
We value the care and commitment they bring to rehabilitation. Working together means we can consider orthotic support alongside the practical work of improving movement, confidence and independence.
You do not need to be an Orthotic Consultants patient or need a brace to enquire. Whether you are seeking help for yourself or a family member, VIM's team can discuss your concerns and explain the assessment options.
