Brittany Stresing, CPO FAAOP
Brittany Stresing, CPO, FAAOP acquired her passion for the profession during her early teenage years as she received orthotic treatment for scoliosis, she had corrective leg length surgery, and Spina Bifida Occulta. Brittany was able to learn a great deal through her medical and orthotic treatment. She has a genuine understanding of how to properly treat, respect and listen to patients. To achieve optimal results and enhance patient compliance, Brittany feels that being passionate about her work, individualizing treatment plans and maintaining a patient-focused perspective are necessary for successful outcomes. Additionally, as prosthetic and orthotic technology evolves, Brittany makes it a priority to constantly research and provide cutting-edge devices for her patients. She completed her residency at UNC hospital and then became managing practitioner of a private practice prior to starting Limbionics.
In 2015 she was awarded Healthcare Hero Rising Star by the Triangle Business Journal and Woman Of Achievement by Durham Magazine. She also won the National Stevie award for female entrepreneur of the year award for small business in 2015. Brittany has also achieved one of the highest accolades in the profession, becoming a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthotists, Prosthetists and Pedorthists (AAOP). She was the first woman selected for Ossur’s Women’s Leadership Initiative Program, which promotes and cultivates female leaders in the P&O field.
Outside of every day business, Brittany has dedicated considerable time to philanthropic and altruistic causes. She was Secretary of the North Carolina Orthotic And Prosthetic Trade Association (NCOPTA), she is the Immediate Past President of NC Chapter of Orthotists and Prosthetists, and a board member for the National Association for the Advancement of Orthotists and Prosthetists. On top of these duties, she volunteers as Medical Staff Prosthetist and Orthotist for the Valor Games Southeast for wounded veterans as well as a recurring Guest Speaker for Duke University’s Doctorate Of Physical Therapy Program, Duke University’s Biomedical Engineering Program, and Campbell Universities Doctorate of Physical Therapy program.

While in Florida, Marco was a Practice Manager for Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics. His extensive work for patient advocacy and fair insurance coverage for all eventually led him to be elected to the Board for Orthotics and Prosthetics for the State of Florida.

It was a lesson learned in what can be done with limited resources.
