Services
Podiatry Treatments
Comprehensive podiatry assessments involve gait analysis, podiatric measurements, and footwear evaluation. Each session includes biomechanical assessment to identify structural imbalances. Patients receive tailored treatment plans addressing foot pain, posture issues, and mobility challenges through conservative interventions and therapeutic exercises.
Orthotics
Individually designed orthotics correct foot mechanics by repositioning foot structure for optimal skeletal balance. These specialised inserts alleviate pressure points and joint stress through material-specific construction. Custom solutions range from flexible supports for daily wear to rigid devices for sports performance enhancement, addressing both immediate discomfort and long-term biomechanical stability.
Sports Injury Treatment
Specialist diagnosis and rehabilitation for sports-related foot and lower limb injuries. Treatment combines biomechanical assessment with targeted orthotic intervention to address performance-limiting imbalances. The service helps athletes improve endurance and prevent recurrence through gait correction and footwear modification advice tailored to specific sports requirements.
Children's Podiatry
Early intervention for developing foot conditions in children aged four and above. The service identifies mechanical issues through gait analysis and implements corrective measures to prevent future complications. Custom orthotics and footwear guidance address growth-related concerns while ensuring comfort during active play and development.
Biomechanical Assessment
Advanced biomechanical evaluation identifies structural imbalances affecting foot function and posture. The assessment combines pressure mapping with movement analysis to diagnose mechanical inefficiencies. Results inform custom treatment strategies that improve weight distribution, reduce joint stress, and enhance overall mobility through targeted orthotic intervention.
