Apos®
Apos® is an innovative, personalised and non-surgical treatment for knee, hip and lower back pain, which has been clinically proven to alleviate pain and improve mobility.
Developed by doctors from the fields of orthopaedics and sports medicine, Apos® is based on established scientific principles of biomechanics and neuromuscular control.
The therapy utilises an individually adjusted unique biomechanical foot-worn device and is performed as part of a patient’s day to day activities.
The Apos® boots are personalised to treat the cause of your specific pain by retraining your body to help you move better and live better. Here’s how:
Redistribute
Redistribute the forces that contribute to the pain in the joints
Re-educate
re-educate the brain and muscles to work more efficiently again, creating healthier walking patterns and lasting relief when you are not wearing your Apos®
Apos® has been used by more than 120,000 patients worldwide for a number of various reasons and conditions.
With Apos®, patients regain precious mobility, function, and freedom.
Apos® can make life better for people with knee, hip, ankle, and lower back pain.
Apos® is generally not suitable for people who suffer from severe balance problems, severe complications from diabetes, ongoing Rheumatoid arthritis, or other systemic disorders affecting joints.
A very highly experienced physiotherapist, with almost 20 years of practising in private, NHS and community settings. I am currently a part-time senior lecturer of physiotherapy, and am now practising in Lingfield. I believe in the modern tenets of evidence-based practice but am still proud of the array of manual therapy skills I have developed in helping people to maximise their movement.
Our innovative scientific approach transforms your painful walking into a way of healing. In other words, we made complex science simple and created solutions tailored for your pain. All you need is to wear the shoe and our science will do the rest. Please contact for further information.
The key to Apos® is that it redirects the pressure away from the affected areas of the knees and lower back. Over time, the muscles gain the coordination and control to maintain the improved walking pattern even when not wearing the Apos® footwear. Short-term off-the-shelf solutions and quick fixes may not work. Instead, you need a scientific, innovative treatment tailored to your unique knees and back.
While orthopedic shoes buffer the pressure on your joints, Apos® does the opposite. Apos® challenges your muscles, particularly your stabiliser muscles, to improve the way you move and function, thus teaching the body to relieve pain and pressure on your joints by functioning better.
The Apos® program includes the personalised Apos® footwear, follow-up monitoring, care from a qualified Apos® trained clinician, a personalised treatment program, follow-up consultations, adjustments of components of the foot-worn device according to the clinical needs at the follow-up consultations, and patient support services.
You should begin to see improvement as early as 6 weeks to 3 months after you start your treatment. According to clinical research, 85% of Apos® patients feel improvement in the first 3 months of starting Apos® treatment. To monitor your progress with Apos®, be sure to attend your regularly follow-up appointments where your Apos® trained clinician will measure exactly how you are walking, among other things, to monitor your progress and advance your treatment.
Apos® is a clinically proven treatment for knee osteoarthritis. A 2020 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed that 92% of patients with knee osteoarthritis who were treated with Apos® reported more than a 30% reduction in pain while 83% reported more than a 50% reduction in pain.
Clinical studies have also shown improvement in function and quality of life, as well as a significant reduction in pain medication use among patients with chronic knee pain. According to a patient satisfaction survey, 98% of patients said that they would recommend Apos® to friends and family.
