Anna graduated from The University of Strathclyde in 2014 with a first-class honours degree in Prosthetics and Orthotics, earning the prestigious Ossur Prize for academic excellence upon graduation. Her journey began with work at a rehabilitation clinic in Haiti, before moving into a busy London NHS Trust focussing on trauma and injury…
Transitioning to the private sector, Anna joined LOC in 2017. She initially collaborated closely with Elaine Owen in our paediatric OSKAR clinic, where she specialised in neurological paediatric treatment utilising our on-site gait laboratory. Her groundbreaking findings from the gait lab were presented in Chicago in 2020.
While maintaining her diverse expertise, Anna’s focus has shifted towards scoliosis bracing. She obtained a qualification in the Schroth method of bracing (Cheneau-Gensingen brace) in 2018 and has since spearheaded the development of our in-house LOC Scoliosis Brace. With a dedication to advancing scoliosis treatment, Anna has treated countless patients worldwide, elevating standards in scoliosis bracing on an international scale.
Her pioneering work in scoliosis bracing has garnered international recognition – earning her invitations to present at esteemed academic conferences globally. Notably, her research was showcased at The Scoliosis Research Society conference in Seattle in 2023, marking a significant milestone in her career. Her contributions have also been presented at conferences held in Edinburgh, Melbourne, and Liverpool, with upcoming presentations scheduled in Boston and Bangkok in May 2024.
Anna Courtney also runs the London Orthotic Consultancy’s Belfast clinic. Anna is registered with WPA Health Insurance and BUPA.
