Sports Podiatry

The vast majority of sports involves the use of the lower limbs and as such, is particularly susceptible to injury. Our Sports Podiatrists work closely with our Sports Physicians in assessing your lower limb biomechanics, and any mal-alignment, to establish how these may contribute to your injury. The muscles and joints of the lower limb are assessed, as is your footwear and your walking and running gait.

The Sports Podiatrist uses a variety of orthotics, or splints, to influence the Biomechanics. These devices range from simple padding and wedging to supplement footwear, right through to carefully prescribed, custom-made Orthotics. Orthotic devices are specifically designed to get you back to performing at your optimum with maximum comfort.
