Reduce Joint Pain. Improve Movement. Walk Better.
Apos® is a NICE-recommended medical device designed to reduce chronic pain and retrain the way you walk. The convex pods on the sole are positioned specifically for each individual following gait analysis and assessment by a specially trained Physiotherapist. The placement of the pods is determined to alter joint loading in the lower limb and back, improve gait and encourage healthier movement patterns. Apos® helps retrain muscles and movement over time, improving balance, confidence and long-term comfort in everyday activities. The device only needs to be worn around the house for an hour or so each day to achieve results in pain reduction and improved function.
Don't just take our word for it...
What is Apos® and how can it help?
Apos® is a NICE-recommended medical device designed to help treat the cause of your pain by retraining the way you walk. Worn for around an hour a day at home, it fits easily into your normal routine while supporting long-term improvements in movement and comfort.
Custom convex pods beneath the shoes help redistribute pressure away from painful joints, reducing discomfort and helping you move more comfortably with every step. By encouraging healthier movement patterns, Apos® helps retrain your neuromuscular system to improve gait, balance and joint loading.
Apos® does more than provide relief while you are wearing the device. It helps retrain muscles and movement patterns, so many patients continue to benefit even when the device is off.
Backed by clinical research, Apos® has been shown to reduce pain, improve mobility and, for many patients, delay or even avoid the need for joint replacement surgery.
Book your Apos® assessment to walk with less pain and greater confidence.
How Apos® Helps You Move Better
Apos® is a personalised gait therapy designed to reduce joint pain and improve the way you move. By combining biomechanical adjustments with neuromuscular retraining, it helps relieve pressure on painful joints while encouraging healthier movement patterns.
Specially designed shoes are fitted with adjustable pods beneath the heel and forefoot, which your clinician calibrates to redistribute weight away from painful or overloaded areas.
As you walk, the pods create gentle, controlled instability, helping your muscles and nervous system work together more effectively. With regular use, your body learns movement patterns that reduce strain, improve balance and support long-term mobility.
Every programme is monitored and adjusted as your pain reduces, mobility improves and goals change.
Dry cupping is a gentle, hands-on therapy often used alongside physiotherapy, massage and rehabilitation to support recovery and enhance treatment outcomes. It may help with:

Supporting better movement
Apos® is backed by clinical research and has helped thousands of people manage knee osteoarthritis without surgery.
Research has also shown that Apos® can improve mobility, make everyday activities easier, enhance quality of life and reduce the need for pain medication in people living with chronic knee pain.
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that:
92% of patients experienced at least a 30% reduction in knee pain.
83% of patients reported their pain was reduced by more than 50%.
Perhaps most importantly, patients value the results they achieve. In a satisfaction survey, 98% of patients said they would recommend Apos® to their friends and family.
While every person’s experience is different, these findings demonstrate why Apos® has become a trusted, evidence-based treatment option for knee osteoarthritis.
