Biomechanical Assessment
Our advanced 3D gait analysis identifies biomechanical inefficiencies causing pain or injury. Using high-speed cameras and pressure plates, we measure movement patterns during walking, running, or sports activities. This data informs custom treatment plans combining orthotics, physiotherapy, and posture correction to improve alignment and prevent recurring injuries.
Custom Orthotics
We create precision-engineered orthotics using traditional casting and 3D scanning technologies. Our onsite workshop produces custom devices that correct foot alignment, redistribute pressure, and enhance biomechanical efficiency. Treatments address conditions from plantar fasciitis to knee pain through tailored support solutions.
Physiotherapy
Specialist physiotherapists treat musculoskeletal injuries using manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and sports-specific recovery programs. We address acute injuries and chronic conditions through evidence-based techniques including acupuncture, taping, and strength conditioning for improved joint stability and function.
Foot Mobilisation
This manual therapy technique realigns foot and ankle joints to resolve chronic pain without orthotics. By restoring natural joint mobility and muscle function, we improve posture and reduce stress on knees, hips, and the spine through targeted mobilisation techniques.
KCR Therapy
Kinetic Chain Release therapy addresses whole-body alignment issues causing pain. By releasing tension patterns across muscle chains, we alleviate chronic conditions like sciatica and scoliosis while improving mobility and reducing compensatory movement patterns.

Report
I visited the clinic for foot pain: in the past I had been a bit frustrated with physiotherapists who seemed reluctant to deal with feet, and podiatrists who seemed not to be very good with working with active people and would only recommend rest and orthotics. Mhairi instead looked at how the muscles were working in my foot and prescribed exercises which I can feel are making a difference. She explained things really well making me feel more in control of what's going on. If you have tried various things to no avail I would definitely recommend giving the clinic a call.

Having suffered from lower leg and foot injuries for most of my sporting career, it was such a relief to find someone as knowledgeable and helpful as Mhairi at the Foot & Leg Clinic. There is something so reassuring about knowing you are in the hands of a real expert. My diagnosis was made very quickly thanks to her keen eye and years of experience. I have since benefitted immensely from the use of custom orthotic insoles and the near miracle effects of shock wave therapy for long-standing achilles issues. Thank you Foot & Leg Clinic!

Ive been going to Mhari on and off for a few years now, shes brilliant, knows her technical stuff inside out and can explain it to a lay person fantastically. Has got me up Kilimanjaro and up to 5-a-side. Great chat as well to distract from the foot adjustments! Any one who has feet/leg/hip issues should definitely give the clinic a try as it can be much more effective that physio etc.

I can't explain how amazing this clinic is. Mhairi and the whole team are so warm, professional and friendly, from the initial phone call through to consultation and follow-up, I felt totally looked after. The problem with my knee has vastly improved and it feels wonderful to be able to walk and run without pain any more. Thank you to everyone for helping me and for making the whole experience so positive! I can't recommend the Foot and Leg Clinic enough

Amazing treatment from Mhairi who diagnosed my foot drop and proscribed a brace. Previously I had been tripping a lot and had lost confidence in walking. The brace has meant a new freedom wish Id come to the clinic years ago. Great service from a highly skilled team.
