A newly launched prosthetics manufacturer and rehabilitation specialist has opened a North East satellite base to cater for demand from across the North.
Sheffield-based STEPS Prosthetics, which launched earlier this year, has established an outpatient clinic at Team Valley's family-run Neural Pathways centre which is rehabilitation clinic/gym space. The Yorkshire firm says it has seen UK-wide demand for its services and decided to open in the North East to provide better accessibility for its customers.
STEPS - set up by Colette Shaw and Peter Durkin - touts itself as the UK's only private prosthetics company to design, manufacture, fit and support amputee patients within a residential rehabilitation setting. It operates its own workshop, meaning clients benefit from the swift turnaround, tailored products and adjustment of their prosthetic or orthotic device.
