Florence Pediatrics

Florence Paediatrics (formerly John Florence) is a long-established UK specialist in paediatric orthoses, combining clinical expertise with in-house manufacturing to produce bespoke braces, AFOs/KAFOs, customised footwear and cranial helmets for babies, children and young people.

Rooted in a British based manufacturing centre and now operating within the MedFac Orthotics group, Florence emphasises rapid, clinician-led production and close collaboration between orthotists, technicians and multidisciplinary clinical teams. 

The service has a multi-decade pedigree (tracing back to the John Florence practice) and provides both routine and complex paediatric solutions — from spinal and gait-related orthoses to custom footwear and neurological supports — designed to maximise comfort, function and growth accommodation. 
Florence clinicians and technicians routinely work alongside major paediatric orthopaedic and neuromuscular centres in the UK; historic and contemporary links show John Florence staff providing orthotic clinics and honorary roles connected with leading institutions such as Great Ormond Street, Evelina and Chelsea & Westminster Hospitals.

Because Florence focuses exclusively on children and young people, it is widely regarded by clinicians and families as a market leader for paediatric orthoses — noted for technical craftsmanship, clinician partnership and a UK-based manufacturing approach that supports rapid iteration and complex case work.
