Services
Podiatry
Our podiatry services address foot and ankle conditions through comprehensive assessments and tailored treatments. We manage corns, calluses, fungal infections, and structural abnormalities using evidence-based techniques. Patients benefit from improved mobility and long-term relief from chronic foot pain.
Biomechanical Assessment
This service evaluates lower limb function to identify musculoskeletal imbalances affecting posture and movement. Customised treatment plans may include orthotics or exercise programmes to correct alignment issues. It helps athletes and active individuals prevent injuries and enhance performance through improved biomechanics.
Orthotics
We provide both off-the-shelf and custom orthotic devices to address foot and lower limb disorders. These include sports-specific insoles and ankle-foot orthoses designed to improve alignment and reduce pain. Our solutions combine comfort with functional support for daily activities and athletic performance.
Ear Wax Removal
Professional ear wax management is delivered through microsuction and irrigation techniques performed by qualified audiologists. This service ensures safe, effective removal of blockages while minimising infection risks. Patients receive post-treatment advice to maintain ear health and prevent future impactions.
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy service treats sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and chronic pain conditions using manual therapy and exercise programmes. Specialist running assessments help athletes optimise performance and prevent recurring injuries. Treatment incorporates injection therapy for targeted pain relief in joints and soft tissues.

Nick and the team have been amazing treating my son recently for an infected ingrowing toe nail. Nick couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating in a stressful situation where this toe issue was preventing my son from having a more complex, unrelated surgery. Nick fitted us in at short notice, completed the procedure, and followed up to ensure all was ok. He’s squeezed us in multiple times whilst we got the toe under control. I can’t recommend Nick highly enough!

I took my 13yo as they was struggling with their big toe nail. We sent over some pictures first and Nick was very quick to reply and got booked in very swiftly. The treatment my child received was 1st class and friendly, put me and my child at ease. Once the procedure was done the aftercare was very good. The practice was lovely and clean and all the staff we came into contact with, were super helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend this practice. Five stars and totally worth it. Thank you to Nick for all your help and guidance.
