Biomechanical Assessment
Our advanced 3D gait analysis identifies biomechanical imbalances using high-spec software. Clinicians with elite sports experience assess walking and running patterns to diagnose injury causes. Customised treatment plans combine orthotics, physiotherapy, and strength programmes for lasting solutions.
Custom Orthotics
Handmade and 3D-printed orthotics correct foot alignment issues. Our onsite workshop ensures precision manufacturing tailored to individual biomechanics. Treatments address conditions from plantar fasciitis to knee pain through posture realignment.
Physiotherapy
Specialist physiotherapists treat musculoskeletal injuries using manual therapy and rehabilitation. Services include acupuncture, taping, and exercise programmes for back pain, sports injuries, and postural issues. Follow-up care ensures long-term recovery.
Podiatry
Comprehensive foot health services address skin, nail, and structural conditions. Treatments include ingrown toenail care, diabetic neuropathy management, and routine podiatry. HCPC-registered practitioners ensure clinical excellence in foot care solutions.
Kinetic Chain Release
Manual therapy technique realigns body mechanics to relieve chronic pain. Effective for sciatica, migraines, and postural issues, KCR combines with biomechanical assessments for holistic treatment. Sessions improve mobility and reduce muscular tension.
