Company History
Orthotix is a family owned and run business which forms part of a portfolio of companies including Dacey Orthotic Solutions and Ace Feet In Motion. Collectively accumulating over 75 years of experience in the orthotic healthcare industry.
The original company was established in 1972 to supply custom made orthotic products to the National Health Service (NHS). We continue to do so, to this day, with all bespoke products still being handmade at our factories in Wales.
In 2004, Orthotix was launched to offer a range of affordable ready-made orthotic product to supplement the bespoke items supplied. For many NHS hospital patients this meant that they could now be seen quicker, often with same day issue of product. This type fo product remains the most cost effective option for the hospital patients across the world.

Testimonials
"Orthotix have been a valuable partner for me and my medical team at Welsh Athletics. We often use products from their lower limb, or ankle and foot range as part of our injured athletes’ rehabilitation programmes. Their professional how-to-fit video demonstrations are a really useful tool which have assisted our athletes on the road to recovery."
Adam Rattenberry
Lead Physiotherapist Welsh Athletics"I’m extremely grateful for the support I have received from Orthotix over the years and I can’t recommend them enough."
Aled Davies
Paralympic Gold Medallis"Whilst training for my last Ironman triathlon I developed a niggling foot injury known as plantar fasciitis. Fortunatley I was able to manage it effectively with a combination of foot supports which I purchased through Orthotix. I've since used their sports compression socks and a supportive ankle brace which have also enabled me to continue my triathlon training."
Andy Jones
Ironman Triathlete"I've had problems with my ankles for a long time now and it was just my luck that I managed to go over on one a week before a big charity rugby event. I've played rugby for Rhiwbina RFC with the Managing Director of Orthotix for donkey's years so I gave him a call and they sorted me out on the same day with an ankle stabilising support designed to be worn during sports. It was low profile enough to fit in my boots and flexible enough to enable range of movement whilst offering the additional stability I needed. It didn’t improve my rugby skills as I dropped nearly every pass but it got me through the tournament, much appreciated!"
Christopher Case
Rhiwbina RFC Veteran"As a sports physiotherapist I often devise varied and individualised treatment plans for my patients. From time to time there is a requirement for post-operative bracing for functional assistance in the early stages of rehabilitation. For this purpose I have used a number of Orthotix products in my clinics to great effect."
Clare Sinton
Sports Physiotherapist"As a full time healthcare professional running clinics in the NHS it’s really important that the bracing I prescribe is of high quality and good value. Orthotix continues to deliver on both fronts and their innovative range of paediatric products are market leading."
Edward First
Senior Orthotist"Orthotix are my go to supplier for all podiatry related products. I’ve issued a variety of their devices, including bunion splints, gel accessories and drop foot orthoses in both my NHS and private clinics. On a number of occasions I’ve also liaised with their in-house podiatrist who has been able to offer invaluable product advice."
Gareth Bowen
NHS Podiatrist"I sprained my knee badly playing netball and our team physio suggested I look at the Orthotix website as she knew they supplied a lot of bracing direct to sports teams. On their website I used their product search tool and video fitting guide to buy an active knee support, which is really comfortable and gives me the confidence I need to carry on playing"
Gemma Poolman
Health Angels Netball"I hurt my lower back during a yoga class and my GP recommended that I purchase a lumbar support for everyday use. I contacted Orthotix and their fabulous customer service team were able to suggest a selection of suitable supports. My chosen product arrived the next working day and it has really helped me maintain my active lifestyle."
Helen Adams
Member of the Public"I suffer from painful heels so I wear silicone heel cups in my footwear to provide extra cushioning. Up until recently I have been buying these from a pharmacy in town but last time I went to buy them they were out of stock so they advised me to look online. I now buy them direct through the Orthotix webshop, which is so much more convenient as they send them direct to my house and they were even cheaper than in the pharmacy!"
Jayne Robins
Member of the Public"Early in my netball career I suffered severe tears in both my ankles. Since then I have looked to source many options of what type of brace would suit my needs. The support from Orthotix, sourcing and supplying a specialist ankle brace has helped me tremendously. They provide the support and flexibility I need to perform at my very best whilst out on court"
Kyra Jones
Celtic Dragons Netball"Being a dual international playing both netball and football my lower limbs are sometimes prone to muscle fatigue. As part of my recovery programme I wear sports compression socks from Orthotix which improve my blood circulation and help me to recover as quickly as possible."
Nia Jones
Welsh Netball"Being a personal trainer and semi-professional rugby player I'm always on the go, so when I tore my Plantar Fascia 6 months ago it was an absolute nightmare. I came across a facebook advert by www.orthotix.co.uk showcasing their Plantar Fasciitis Band and so I purchased it online and received it next day. I can honestly say it has been a godsend and allowed me to return to training earlier than I had imagined with added confidence. I can highly recommend the product and Orthotix."
Tom Lowe
British Army Rugby Player"When it comes to sporting injuries I am quite literally the unluckiest human being alive! Through experience I've learnt to always buy direct from Orthotix as I can no longer be bothered to wait around for ages in A&E, only to be given a shoddy product. Last year my sporting interests left me needing a decent sling for a broken arm, a comfortable protective walker boot for a fractured foot and a low profile shoulder support for a damaged rotator cuff. Orthotix supplied all of these items next working day and the quality of every product was top notch. Orthotix you are my saviour!"
