Why Choose US?
A Comprehensive Approach to Prosthetic Rehabilitation
At Oswald Gibson O&P we see prosthetic rehabilitation as a holistic approach. Working in close-knit relationships with surgeons and allied healthcare professionals, it is important for us to take the patient through the whole rehabilitation cycle.
Evaluating and assessing each individual for their individual needs is crucial in prosthetic rehabilitation. We take great care in getting our physiotherapist involved to get every amputee to achieve their goals and full potential.
We offer a free first consultation and trial fittings of certain prosthetic products that are in each patient’s best interest and relevant budget. We don’t make the decisions for you; we help you to make informed decisions yourself.
