About Althea

Care built around the way you move.

Althea began as one surgeon, one clinic and a simple idea: orthopedic care should be measured by how well people move afterwards, not by how many procedures we perform. Twenty-five years later, that idea still shapes every consultation.

What guides us

Three principles behind every consultation

01

Movement first

We judge every treatment by one outcome: how well you move afterwards. If physio will do it, we say so.

02

Honest answers

Clear options, real recovery timelines and plain-English costs before you commit to anything.

03

Precision without rush

Thorough planning, fellowship-trained surgeons and the time to answer every question.
