Services
Diabetic Assessments
Comprehensive vascular and neurological evaluations for diabetic patients to prevent foot complications. Our podiatrists use advanced diagnostic tools to detect early signs of neuropathy and circulation issues. Regular assessments help maintain foot health and reduce amputation risks through timely interventions.
Fascial Manipulation
Specialised treatment targeting deep fascia restrictions to alleviate musculoskeletal pain. This evidence-based technique improves mobility and function by addressing adhesions in connective tissues. Particularly effective for chronic conditions affecting the foot, ankle, and lower limb biomechanics.
Gait Analysis
Advanced video-based assessment of walking and running patterns using treadmill diagnostics. Identifies biomechanical inefficiencies contributing to injury or pain. Forms basis for custom orthotic prescription and rehabilitation programmes to improve mobility and performance.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Tailored programmes combining manual therapy and exercise prescription for sports-related foot and ankle injuries. Addresses acute injuries and chronic overuse conditions through targeted rehabilitation. Enhances recovery and reduces recurrence risk for athletes at all levels.
Nail Reconstruction
Specialist treatment for damaged or deformed toenails resulting from trauma or infection. Uses medical-grade materials to restore natural nail appearance during healing. Particularly beneficial for patients recovering from ingrown toenail procedures or fungal infections.
