Podiatry is the study and treatment of the foot and lower limb biomechanics. A podiatrist will review the joint and muscle function of your legs and feet and relate this information to your gait and running styles. This information is then correlated to help arrange an exercise programme and possible Orthotics (shoe inserts) to assist you in improving your biomechanical function and movement. Why Podiatry? A podiatrist can help resolve numerous musculoskeletal symptoms such as:
Early intervention is the key to preventing any number of conditions from occurring in the first place. Appointments
This is particularly beneficial if you are travelling a long way or need to implement a treatment plan quickly. However, we do not advise a gait analysis if you are in significant pain as this will affect the assessment. Your hip and knee function will often be assessed so it is advisable to wear loose fitting clothes, preferably shorts. If your shoe style varies, please bring a selection of shoes so that these can be assessed. Payments All fees are to be paid on the day of your visit, including patients with medical insurance. A receipt will be issued to allow you to reclaim this from your insurer. Payment is accepted by cash or cheque. Fees

Your consultation will last 60 minutes which enables us to assess
your problem and detail a treatment plan. Should you have a complicated
problem or require a detailed bio-mechanical/gait assessment, then
we recommend you schedule a gait analysis appointment at the same
time.
