Services
Diabetic Assessments
Specialist diabetic foot assessments identify vascular and neurological risks to prevent complications. Our NHS-trained podiatrists use advanced diagnostic tools to monitor circulation and sensation, providing tailored care plans for long-term foot health. Regular check-ups reduce amputation risks through early intervention.
Fascial Manipulation
This innovative technique targets deep fascia restrictions causing musculoskeletal pain. By restoring tissue mobility at key anatomical points, we alleviate chronic conditions affecting hips, knees, and ankles. Proven effective for athletes and general patients seeking non-invasive rehabilitation solutions.
Gait Analysis
Using video technology and treadmill diagnostics, we assess walking and running patterns to identify biomechanical inefficiencies. Custom orthotics and exercise programs correct imbalances, enhancing performance while reducing injury risks for recreational and elite athletes.
Injury Rehabilitation
Tailored rehabilitation programs address sports-related foot and ankle injuries through targeted exercises and manual therapies. Our sports science expertise accelerates recovery for runners, rugby players, and cyclists, restoring function while preventing re-injury through biomechanical corrections.
Nail Reconstruction
Specialist nail reconstruction services restore damaged or lost toenails using cosmetic prosthetics. This non-invasive treatment improves appearance while protecting sensitive nail beds, particularly beneficial for patients recovering from trauma or fungal infections.

Report
My visit to border podiatrists was beyond 5 stars....I was welcomed with the most friendliness staff, Anne and Dan instantly put me at ease with such a professional attitude. I
was nervous on arriving as I had never been before and those thoughts disappeared quickly with there kind attitude and approach. When I walked into the building I was very impressed with the cleanliness and hygiene, all wearing appropriate attire and made sure I was also geared up correctly. Once treated I thought back to myself on the service here, the staff took there time...made sure that the treatment I was receiving
