Services
Custom Orthotics
Custom-made orthotics are designed to correct biomechanical foot issues and alleviate pain. These prescription insoles redistribute pressure, improve gait efficiency, and address conditions like flat feet and plantar fasciitis. Suitable for everyday wear and sports activities, they are tailored to individual foot structures using computerised gait analysis and laser scanning technology.
Nail Surgery
Permanent ingrown toenail solutions performed under local anaesthesia. The procedure involves partial or total nail removal combined with chemical matrixectomy to prevent regrowth. Ideal for recurrent or severe cases, this treatment provides lasting relief from painful nail conditions while maintaining foot aesthetics and function.
Gait Analysis
Advanced computerised gait analysis using TOG Gaitscan technology evaluates walking patterns in detail. This diagnostic tool identifies abnormal foot mechanics, pressure distribution issues, and biomechanical imbalances. Results inform custom orthotic prescriptions and treatment plans for improved mobility and pain reduction in feet, knees, hips, and lower back.
Foot Care Products
Specialist foot care products including therapeutic creams, protective padding, and orthotic-friendly footwear. We recommend brands like Superfeet, Orthaheel, and Cosyfeet that address specific foot conditions. Our product selection supports daily foot health management and complements clinical treatments for optimal outcomes.
Shoe Recommendations
Personalised footwear guidance for various foot types and conditions. We advise on brands offering proper support and comfort, including Ecco, Merrell, and DB Shoes. Our recommendations cover everyday wear, sports activities, and specialist needs like wide/swollen feet, ensuring appropriate footwear choices that prevent foot problems and enhance comfort.
