Services
General Chiropody
Our general chiropody services address common foot care needs including callus removal, corn treatment, nail cutting, fungal infections management, and ingrown nail surgery. These essential treatments maintain foot health and prevent complications through professional care. Each session provides up to 45 minutes for initial assessments, ensuring thorough attention to individual patient requirements.
Biomechanical Assessment
This diagnostic service evaluates foot and ankle joint movement quality and range while walking. By analysing gait patterns, we identify mechanical imbalances causing pain or dysfunction. The assessment informs targeted treatment plans combining manual therapies and corrective exercises to restore optimal biomechanical function.
Joint Mobilisation
Gentle joint mobilisation techniques improve mobility in restricted foot and ankle joints. This hands-on approach addresses stiffness through controlled movements that restore natural joint gliding. Treatment focuses on specific articulations identified during assessment as contributing to patient discomfort or limited mobility.
Fascial Manipulation
Specialised fascial manipulation targets connective tissue dysfunction throughout the body. This advanced technique addresses chronic pain patterns by releasing fascial restrictions affecting foot and lower limb mechanics. As one of few trained practitioners, Ian applies this method to complex musculoskeletal presentations.
Orthotic Provision
Custom orthotic solutions address mechanical foot dysfunction through tailored shoe inserts. These devices optimise weight distribution and movement patterns, reducing tissue strain during daily activities. Each prescription follows comprehensive assessment to ensure biomechanical correction aligns with individual patient needs.
