What is Sports Podiatry?

Sports podiatry focuses on how the structure and function of your feet affect the way you move. Subtle changes in alignment, muscle function or joint mechanics can contribute to pain or injury. Through specialist assessment, our podiatrists can identify these issues early and create personalised treatment plans to optimise your performance and prevent recurrence.

Advanced Podiatry Treatments and Services

We combine clinical expertise with advanced technology to deliver comprehensive care:

1. Biomechanical & Gait Analysis

Using state-of-the-art pressure plate and footscan technology, we assess the way your feet and lower limbs function during movement. This helps identify imbalances, overloading patterns and inefficient movement mechanics.

2. Custom Orthotics & Insoles

We prescribe and manufacture bespoke orthotic devices designed to optimise foot function, reduce pain and improve performance. These are tailored for sports use, daily wear or rehabilitation.

3. Shockwave Therapy

A highly effective treatment for chronic soft tissue injuries like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy. Shockwave therapy stimulates tissue repair, reduces pain and accelerates recovery.

4. Sports Injury Rehabilitation

Our team integrates podiatric care with functional rehabilitation to address strength, mobility and movement control, ensuring long-term recovery and reduced risk of re-injury.
