Hello!
As the Director of Pediatrics at Bluegrass Bracing Pediatrics in Lexington, KY, I've informed numerous doctors, nurses, occupational therapists and physical therapists about which orthotics strategies are available and how to choose the best option for each patient.
As a board certified orthotist I have dedicated my career to helping over 1,000 patients, not just with effective treatments but also critical information for achieving the best possible outcomes.
“I have been taking my 9 yr old daughter to orthotics appointments her whole life. I have never learned as much about her condition as I did during our first appointment with Gabe.”
"I am both a pediatrician and parent of a child who needs SMOs. Gabriel’s course gives me a deeper understanding of the different options available for my son and for my patients. I recommend all parents watch his “Top 10 Tips” for sure!”
“Gabe explained the pros and cons of different bracing options would work for my son and we made the best choice for his development. Knowing the different designs and the reasoning behind the recommendations allow us to evaluate how they are working and work together to get them changed if needed.“
The night-stretching AFOs Gabe recommended are working much better. He can actually sleep in them and I can see progress. Thank you!"
“Love it. This course has been such a helpful adjunct to trying to look things up here and there, or in my PT textbooks. So great to see the options in action!”
