An orthotist is a healthcare professional who makes and fits braces and splints (orthoses) for people who need added support to move well. They work under a doctor's orders to adapt purchased braces or create custom-designed braces.

NeuroMuscular Orthotics (NMO) is one of Australia's leading allied health providers in the area of orthotics and specialises in neurological and neuromuscular conditions.

All NeuroMuscular Orthotists are university qualified health professionals and certified members of the Australian Orthotic Prosthetic Association (AOPA). We have the expertise, passion and desire to assist all of our clients with a high standard of care.
