Natalie Trice is a UK based mother of two sons and the founder of DDH UK, the UK’s only DDH dedicated charity.

Natalie’s sister and two cousins were born with DDH and her second son, Lucas was diagnosed at nearly five months.

Natalie was amazed at the little support that was available for her and her family and set up Spica Warrior in 2015.

The same year Natalie published her first book, Cast Life – A Parent’s Guide to DDH and as a member of the International Advisory Board for the International Hip Dysplasia Institute, she is often seen in the media talking about the subject with passion and professionalism. 

We do not offer medical advice but we do provide information so you can deal with whatever your DDH journey throws at you.

Mr. Alex Aarvold, BSc(Hons), MBChB, FRCSEd(Tr&Orth), DM, MFSTEd Consultant Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon, University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, is our Medical Advisor so you can be confident the details on this site are correct.

If you do have any medical questions, please do direct to your GP or medical team or call 111.

We hope to bring DDH into the 21st century so that children are diagnosed earlier and those on their hip journey have access to easy to understand information and the support they need.
