Services
Biomechanical Assessments
Our biomechanical assessments evaluate walking patterns and lower limb function to identify abnormalities causing pain or mobility issues. Using advanced techniques, we diagnose conditions affecting foot alignment, posture, and joint mechanics. Patients receive targeted interventions including orthotic therapy to improve movement efficiency and reduce strain on muscles and joints.
Orthotic Provision
We offer tailored orthotic solutions ranging from over-the-counter insoles to bespoke devices addressing specific biomechanical needs. Our semi-bespoke thermoplastic orthotics provide adjustable support for common conditions while custom casts ensure precise correction for complex cases. All devices aim to redistribute pressure and enhance foot function for long-term comfort.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialised diabetic foot care prevents and treats complications arising from nerve damage and poor circulation. Regular assessments identify early signs of ulceration or infection while nail care and pressure redistribution strategies mitigate risks. Our practitioners collaborate with healthcare teams to maintain foot health and prevent serious complications through proactive management.
Sports Injury Treatment
Targeted sports injury interventions address acute and chronic conditions affecting athletic performance. We treat common issues like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis while developing rehabilitation programmes to restore mobility. Combined with orthotic support and biomechanical adjustments, our approach accelerates recovery and prevents recurrence through improved movement patterns.
Nail Surgery
Permanent ingrown toenail solutions involve minor surgical procedures under local anaesthesia to remove problematic nail sections. We employ phenolisation techniques to prevent regrowth while maintaining nail aesthetics. Post-operative care includes infection prevention strategies and footwear advice to ensure complete recovery within weeks for most patients.

I highly recommend Nick. He has helped 3 of the family now with various problems over the last couple of years (callouses, verucca and ingrowing toe nail). His knowledge and skills are excellent, he is good with children and all our treatments have been painless and successful.

I went to see Nick for a nail problem. I was extremely impressed by his knowledge, professionalism and patience. He is a kind and compassionate professional who listened to me carefully and helped relieve my pain, at least in the short-term. He also signposted me to other services that could offer solutions in the long-term. Can't recommend him enough. Thank you Nick!

Great service in resolving my foot issues. Nick is very personable and highly professional. His treatment was pain free compared to others I have had in the past, and he was extremely fair and generous with the amount he charged. Highly recommended.
