Sports Podiatry

Did you know that feet and legs are the most commonly injured area for people participating in running and sports? We know first-hand the frustration of injuries that keep you from working towards your health and fitness goals and we recognise the importance of minimising injury risk in the uninjured sports person.

Our Sports Podiatry services aim to minimise injury risk, improve physical performance and optimise rehabilitation and recovery. We want you to be the most robust version of yourself.

Are you at risk of feet or leg injury?

 

walking and running assessments

Sporting activities that involve walking, running, leaping or jumping put greater physical demands on your body, especially your feet.

We can help minimise injury risk and optimise rehabilitation by…

  • Performing a Functional Biomechanical Assessment– Walking and Running Analysis
  • Assessing and recommending appropriate footwear for you
  • Assessing and managing your training loads
  • Diagnosing any underlying foot or leg conditions
  • Formulating individualised Strength and Rehabilitation plans
  • Prescribing Orthotics where necessary
  • Providing Gait retraining and coaching

As with most things in life, it is better to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to sporting injuries. We are able to put into place preventative care and performance plans to prepare your body for the forces and loads which you will put through it and reduce the risk of developing any injuries whilst aiming to improve performance.
