About Denise

Denise Nathan brings years of experience and dedication to her role as an orthotist. She focuses on helping clients improve their mobility and live more comfortably. Her main areas of interest include arthritis in the feet and support for children with neurological conditions.

She works closely with clients to understand their needs and uses modern techniques to create practical, effective orthotic solutions. Denise’s clear communication and friendly manner make her a trusted professional for both adults and children.

Clinical Focus

Denise provides personalised care in two key areas:

• Foot Arthritis Care
  Denise helps clients manage foot pain caused by arthritis. She offers tailored orthotic solutions that reduce discomfort and improve daily movement. By analysing walking patterns and footwear needs, she creates support that eases joint stress and boosts comfort. Her goal is to help each person stay active and independent for as long as possible.

• Paediatric Neurological Support
  Denise also specialises in treating children with conditions like cerebral palsy and spina bifida. She designs custom braces and support devices to improve mobility and posture. Her work often involves Ankle-Foot Orthoses (AFOs) and other equipment that support safe movement. Denise works as part of a team with physiotherapists and doctors to create the best outcomes for each child.

A Modern and Team-Based Approach

Denise uses the latest tools and research in her work. She keeps up with new materials and designs to improve comfort and performance. For example, she may use 3D scanning to ensure a precise fit or recommend lightweight options for better ease of use.

Working together is a key part of her care. Denise regularly joins forces with other health experts to make sure each client’s plan fits their wider medical and lifestyle needs. Families also play an important role in her approach. She welcomes their input and supports them through every step of the process.
