About ICB
ICB was founded in 2000 in Sydney, Australia by Podiatrist Abbie Najjarine and Rod Kielt. With years of clinical experience treating patients with lower limb biomechanical conditions, Abbie continued to find that there was no true alternative to expensive, labour intensive laboratory made orthotics. The prefabricated orthotics available at the time were very limited in their application due to their design and construction. It was for this reason that the ICB Dual Density Heat Moulding Orthotic was designed. ICB is continually developing new and unique orthotic products, to cater to the needs or Practitioners and patients alike.
ICB has led a revolution in the assessment and treatment of lower limb biomechanical conditions. ICB believes strongly in educating, equipping and supporting Practitioners, so they too can deliver Superior Biomechanics to their patients.
