Services
Musculoskeletal Podiatry
Specialist assessment and treatment for foot and ankle musculoskeletal conditions. Our postgraduate-trained podiatrists use advanced diagnostic techniques to identify biomechanical issues causing pain or mobility problems. Treatment combines manual therapy, exercise prescription and gait analysis to restore function and prevent recurrence.
Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive treatment using acoustic waves to stimulate healing in chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Effective for plantar fasciitis, tendonitis and stress fractures, this evidence-based therapy accelerates recovery through increased blood flow and cellular regeneration without requiring surgery or medication.
Nail Surgery
Permanent and partial nail removal procedures for ingrown toenails. Performed under local anaesthetic, this minor surgical procedure provides lasting relief from painful nail conditions. Post-operative care includes infection prevention and monitoring for proper regrowth in partial avulsions.
Swift Microwave Therapy
Targeted microwave energy application for effective verruca removal. This innovative technology delivers controlled heat to destroy viral cells without damaging surrounding tissue. Sessions typically last 15-20 minutes with minimal discomfort and immediate return to normal activities.
Orthotic Provision
Customised foot supports to correct biomechanical abnormalities and relieve pressure points. Using advanced Footscan technology, we create tailored orthotics that improve alignment, reduce pain and enhance overall foot function for both acute injuries and chronic conditions.

Report
There isn't much this guy doesn't know about feet. If you need an honest, friendly, caring foot specialist, make sure you come here first. Also when I was adviced by Stephen that I needed to see a physio, I was able to be seen by the physio working at the surgery very quickly. Superb!
