Services
Podiatry / Chiropody
Our podiatry and chiropody service addresses hard skin, corns, nail care, and infections. Highly skilled practitioners perform safe, surgical removal of dead skin, nail shaping, and thickness reduction to restore foot health and appearance in 15-30 minutes.
Gait Analysis
Gait analysis uses pressure plate technology to map foot movements and pressure points. This identifies abnormalities causing pain or injury, enabling custom orthotics and exercise plans to improve posture, reduce stress, and enhance mobility efficiency.
Phits Insoles
3D-printed Phits insoles are tailored to your foot structure using dynamic pressure data. These lightweight, D3O-protected orthotics offer shock absorption and durability. They prevent injury, reduce pain, and improve performance for athletes and everyday activities.
Ingrown Toe Nail Surgery
Minor surgical procedures resolve recurrent ingrown nails, including infected or deformed nails. Includes assessment, 60-minute surgery, follow-ups, and aftercare dressings. Effective for thick or painful nails unresponsive to conservative treatments.
Paediatric Foot Services
Specialist assessments for children's foot development, including flat feet, knock knees, and walking abnormalities. Early intervention prevents future issues. A 15-minute 'Kids Foot Check' ensures growing feet remain healthy and pain-free during critical growth stages.

A really thorough consultation and lots of great, valuable advice. I left with some inserts which I tested out on a 9 mile run today and they were comfortable. Now I just need to do those exercises!
