Services
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy utilises focused light energy to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive treatment effectively addresses sports injuries, tendonitis, and chronic pain conditions. Patients benefit from reduced recovery times and improved mobility without medication dependency.
Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy stimulates healing through high-energy sound waves. It effectively treats chronic tendon injuries, plantar fasciitis, and stress fractures. This evidence-based approach reduces pain and promotes tissue regeneration with minimal recovery downtime required.
Gait Analysis
Comprehensive gait assessment combines treadmill video analysis and pressure mat diagnostics. This identifies biomechanical inefficiencies contributing to injury. Personalised recommendations improve running technique and reduce future injury risk through targeted strength programs.
Sports Injury Treatment
Specialised sports injury management addresses acute and chronic conditions affecting athletes. Treatment combines manual therapy, strength training, and activity modification. Individualised rehabilitation plans ensure safe return to sport while preventing re-injury through biomechanical correction.
Foot Care
Professional foot care services treat common conditions including ingrown toenails, verrucas, and fungal infections. Minimally invasive procedures provide immediate pain relief while addressing underlying causes. Preventative care recommendations maintain long-term foot health for active individuals.

Report
Went to Tim with a bad case of plantar fasciitis. Did an assessment followed by an exercise programme and 3 weeks later it is much better. Tim knows his stuff and as a runner himself understands the need to get going again pain free. Very professional and approachable. Cant recommend highly enough.

To whoever might be considering using the services at the Active Podiatry centre in Goudhurst DO IT, dont endure the pain and discomfort I had for months, Tim was confidently able to confirm I was suffering from Plantar Fasciitis and conducted a short course of treatment combined with a routine to stretch and build strength through certain exercises I can do at home, I couldnt recommend him and his services enough. A massive thank you goes to Tim

Report
Tim at Active Podiatry was an incredible help when I suffered a late onset injury just before London Marathon. His knowledge, skills of diagnosis and treatment were exceptional. Through his encouragement, positivity and treatment alongside the exercises he advised, I was not only able to run the marathon but am pain free post race too! A great result all round and I would thoroughly recommend Active Podiatry.
