INNOVATION FOR THE FOOT ORTHOTIC INDUSTRY
Our sole purpose is to help keep people moving. We do so by combining innovative 3D design software and manufacturing technology with biomechanical expertise to provide you with Podfo, one of the most advanced custom orthotics available.
Initially developed by Peacocks Medical Group and in consultation with orthotists, podiatrists and biomechanical experts from across the globe, Podfo was designed to enhance the treatment outcome for your patients, improving both the accuracy of orthotic prescription and patient compliance through increased comfort and functionality.
It is an award winning innovation that has been recognised by an EEEF Future Manufacturing Award in 2014 and the Bright Ideas in Health Award in 2015.
We are committed to continually evolve. Our product development team have collaborate on projects such A-Footprint and E-Porthos and work closely with our clinical advisory consultants to ensure we continue to provide leading-edge orthotic solutions.
Professor Richards’ research includes clinical application of biomechanics, the development of new assessment tools for chronic disease, conservative and surgical management of orthopaedic and neurological conditions, and the development of evidence based approaches for improving clinical management and rehabilitation. The focus of Professor Richards’ work is to encourage inter-professional research and to develop direct parallels with research to the ‘real world’ of allied health work.
