About us Proactive is a private clinic, established in 2001. Proactive became part of the Ability Matters Group in April 2022, the largest provider of prosthetics and orthotics in the UK and Ireland, who have provided further investment in the service to facilitate growth, whilst also ensuring that the patient-centred and friendly nature of the service continues to thrive.

At Proactive we are passionate about socket design and hold this in the highest regard when making a prosthesis for our patients. We constantly strive to improve results and invest in the latest cutting-edge technology. We have extensive experience with MPK and MPF devices and other advanced upper extremity functional components.

We work as part of an MDT led by a consultant in rehabilitation medicine; the team includes Physio, OT, Clinical Psychologist, and Exercise Rehab Instructors.
