Supporting Your Child, Together
We believe every child deserves comfort, confidence, and the freedom to move.
At LEWis Brand Orthotics, we understand that your child’s orthotic journey is so much more than a clinic appointment. It’s about comfort, independence, confidence, and helping your child do the things that make them feel like themselves — playing, learning, and growing.
Our role is to walk alongside you and your child every step of the way, finding real-life, everyday solutions that make a difference — not just today, but for years to come.
Our Approach: Partnership, Not Prescription
We believe that the best outcomes come from genuine partnership.
That means taking time to really listen — to your child’s needs, your family’s goals, and the small daily challenges that only you can describe.
Our approach is:
- Collaborative – We work closely with you, your child’s therapy team, and other healthcare professionals to ensure their orthotic care is truly joined-up.
- Child-first – We design every solution with your child’s comfort, individuality, and confidence at the heart of it.
- Flexible – Life changes, children grow, and needs evolve. We adapt our care with you, ensuring your child continues to thrive.
This isn’t a one-off service. It’s a long-term partnership built on honesty, trust, and shared goals.
Communication That Builds Confidence
We know that orthotics can feel overwhelming at first — there’s a lot to understand and adjust to. That’s why we make communication a cornerstone of everything we do.
You’ll always get:
- Clear explanations (no jargon!)
- Honest conversations about what’s working — and what isn’t
- Practical, compassionate support to help you and your child manage everyday life with their orthoses
We encourage open dialogue. If something isn’t comfortable, if a brace doesn’t fit right, or if your child’s needs have changed — we want to know. The more we talk, the better we can help.
Building Long-Term Relationships
At LEWis Brand Orthotics, we don’t measure success by appointments — we measure it by progress.
Our goal is to be there for your child as they grow, celebrating their achievements and adjusting their care as they reach new milestones.
Many of our families have been with us since the start of LEWis BRAND Orthotics — not because they have to, but because they want to.
They know they can rely on us for thoughtful care, ongoing communication, and the reassurance that their child’s needs always come first.
Every Child, Every Step
Whether your child is taking their very first steps, learning to stand longer, or returning to play with friends — we’re here to make sure their orthotic support helps them live life to the fullest.
Because when a child feels supported, they flourish.
Our Paediatric Care Process
What to expect when you work with LEWis Brand Orthotics
Every child is unique — and so is every journey.
At LEWis Brand Orthotics, our process is built around partnership, communication, and care that grows with your child.
We believe in making orthotic care feel personal, collaborative, and reassuring from start to finish.
Here’s how we do it:
Getting to Know You and Your Child
Before we talk about braces, footwear, or devices — we start with you.
We take time to understand your child’s needs, abilities, daily routines, and goals. We listen carefully to your experiences and challenges so that we can see the whole picture, not just the symptoms.
This is where we begin to build trust and understanding. It’s a chance for you to ask questions, for your child to feel comfortable, and for us to start creating a shared plan for success.
“Every family I meet has a story. I want to understand your story before I start designing your solution.”
Assessment & Observation
Once we understand your goals, we’ll carry out a detailed physical assessment.
We look at:
- Posture and alignment
- Gait and movement patterns
- Muscle tone and strength
- Comfort, footwear, and fit
We combine clinical expertise with real-world practicality — thinking not just about what works in theory, but what works in everyday life.
You’ll always be part of the process, with clear explanations at every step.
Designing the Right Solution
From custom-made orthoses to creative adjustments that improve comfort and function, we’ll design a solution tailored to your child’s needs — and their personality.
We’ll explain how each design choice supports your child’s goals, whether it’s to walk further, play longer, or move with less fatigue.
We also take time to discuss materials, shoe compatibility, and comfort — because it’s not just about fitting an orthotic, it’s about fitting your child’s life.
Fitting, Comfort & Fine-Tuning
We’ll fit your child’s orthotic carefully, making sure it feels secure, comfortable, and ready for real-world use.
Your feedback — and your child’s — are essential here.
If something doesn’t feel right, we’ll adjust it. If something changes, we’ll revisit it.
Our goal is to make sure your child leaves feeling comfortable, confident, and ready to move.
Fit isn’t final — it’s the start of a conversation. We refine as your child grows and their needs evolve.

Our Promise
We appreciate that investing in your child’s treatment is a significant decision. Our goal is to make that process as clear, supportive and transparent as possible — so you can focus on what really matters: helping your child move with confidence.
Guide to Product Costs
We know the cost of treatment is an important consideration for families. You want to be confident that your child’s care is both effective and affordable. That’s why we’re always transparent about our pricing.
Typical starting prices for custom orthotic products:
- Traditional Thermoplastic orthoses: start from £450
- 3D-printed designs: start from £500
- Carbon fibre custom designs with adaptive ankle joint: start from £2,000
Your clinician will discuss the most appropriate options for your child during the assessment, ensuring you understand all costs before proceeding.
VAT Exemption
If your child has a long-term medical condition, you may be eligible to sign a medical declaration, which means VAT does not need to be added to the cost of your orthotic product.
If you’re unsure whether this applies, we can discuss it fully during your assessment appointment.
Ongoing Support & Long-Term Care
Orthotic care is never “one and done.” Children grow, develop, and change — and their orthoses need to grow with them.
Between appointments, we stay open and responsive — if you have concerns, questions, or notice changes, you can always reach out.
We see our role as a long-term partner in your child’s journey — someone you can trust to listen, adapt, and celebrate progress with you.
Empowering Families
Our ultimate goal is to empower you as a parent.
We’ll share practical tips to make orthotic care part of your child’s everyday routine — from morning prep to school days and playtime.
We believe that confident parents raise confident children — and we’re here to support you both, every step of the way.
Because when we work together —
comfort improves, confidence grows, and possibilities open up.
