Dynamic Flex Casting
Flexible casts to manage tone & contractures.
Dynamic Flex Cast, developed by Maria Ferrer, represents a significant advancement in paediatric therapy — a non-invasive treatment to correct the alignment of bones and joints, particularly for children with developmental challenges. It combines alignment, mobility, and functional movement to help children achieve their developmental milestones.
How is this different?
Treating the root cause with skilled precision alignment is the key to our success. It is not enough to simply stretch the ankle and apply a cast — that affects alignment from hindfoot to forefoot. While aligning the joints, the child's entire posture must be observed and improved. Casts are tuned to allow for optimal standing posture and gait improvements, and the child should rarely experience any discomfort. We see improvements with every cast, not only in foot alignment but in whole body posture.
An option to consider before Botox or Surgery
If the foot is not properly aligned in standing, the entire body tries to fix it through compensatory movements. Children with pronated feet often experience a crouched body, arms pushed up in high guard, and impaired balance and coordination. Orthotic appliances can be difficult to fit, skin breaks down, calluses form, deformity worsens, and children face invasive procedures.
Who will benefit?
Cerebral palsy, club foot / relapsing club foot, Charcot-Marie-Tooth, idiopathic toe walking, sensory toe-walking, traumatic brain injury, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, foot deformities, and foot/ankle alignment issues.

How casting is charged
The Dynamic Flex Cast charge covers two things: the professional work of assessing, applying, monitoring and modifying the cast, and the casting materials used on your child. It is quoted per child, because the material component is real — the cost depends on how much casting material that child needs and on what those materials cost to procure at the time. Two children in the same programme can therefore be charged differently.
Once the casting has been carried out and the materials used, that charge is not refundable. Any additional casting or replacement needed during the programme is charged separately where applicable, and we will always tell you before it is done.
