What do we do?
The aim of our treatment is to improve the function of your feet, ankles and legs and fine-tune your walking or running style. If you have a small structural mal-alignment then this can put excessive mechanical stress on specific areas within your legs and feet.
With road running, particularly, this stress is repeated stride after stride and eventually you may end up with an injury.
Some people think of Musculo-skeletal Podiatry as a way of fine-tuning the function of one our most valuable assets - our legs.
The treatment involves using exercises, foot orthoses (special corrective insoles), mobilisation of specific joints and soft-tissues in the legs and feet and sometimes recommending changes to footwear.
As Musculo-skeletal podiatrists we always like to work with your other medical professionals as this means we can often achieve better and more rapid results.
