Services
Podiatry
Our comprehensive podiatry services address common and complex foot conditions including ingrown toenails, verrucae, fungal infections, and biomechanical issues. We provide gait analysis, nail surgery, and preventive care tailored to individual medical needs. Our clinic combines traditional techniques with innovative approaches like Anatomy in Motion to resolve chronic pain and mobility issues.
Pain Management
Led by Afni Shah-Hamilton, our pain and movement clinic uses systematic kinesiology and Anatomy in Motion to treat chronic joint pain. We address unresolved issues caused by posture imbalances, offering lasting relief through targeted biomechanical interventions. This service helps patients regain mobility and reduce discomfort from long-standing conditions.
Cancer Care Podiatry
Specialist foot care for cancer patients experiencing chemotherapy side effects like hand-foot syndrome and neuropathy. We manage ulceration and provide supportive treatments to maintain quality of life during treatment cycles. Our team collaborates with Macmillan Cancer Support to improve awareness of oncology-related foot health.
Fungal Nail Treatment
We treat fungal nail infections using antifungal solutions and Clearanail technology, which creates micro-penetrations for deeper medication absorption. This method accelerates recovery compared to traditional treatments, with visible results in weeks. We also offer Wilde-Pedique gel reconstruction for cosmetic improvement during treatment.
Biomechanical Assessments
Comprehensive biomechanical evaluations identify posture and gait irregularities causing pain in feet, knees, hips, or back. Using 30-minute assessments, we create custom treatment plans incorporating orthotics, footwear advice, and mobilisation techniques to correct alignment issues and improve overall mobility.

With Afni's help, I have managed to bring my body to a very good place. Now my hips are aligned and my bunions don't bother as much. Afni has also helped personalise a pain management plan for me. Brilliant service.

Avni has an abundance of knowledge as a Podiatrist. This professional has nutritional and body function skills too. Mightily impressed. I have nothing but high praise and thanks to her. I have toe & ankle issues which over time has been dealt with and improved so much. Go see her, she's the best.

I have been to see Afni twice, and I cannot recommend this clinic more highly!!! I had Morton’s Neuroma and was facing surgery to fix the problem, I’d not been able to walk properly or with out crutches for several months, Afni treated my problem and changed my life from agony when walking to being able to walk without any pain or issues since. It’s been a almost 2 years since this and I’ve had no more issues. If you have place. Or movement issues this is the place to go!! Spotlessly clean and extremely friendly staff. Simple the best!!!!
