Whether you’re an elite athlete, weekend runner, or someone returning to exercise after injury, sports podiatry helps you perform at your best while reducing the risk of injury.
Physical Examination
In the presence of pain or injury a thorough physical assessment is performed to help provide a clear diagnosis or advise on required imaging modalities to clarify.
Biomechanical Assessment
Comprehensive assessment of foot posture, gait, joint mobility, footwear, muscle strength, running technique, and lower limb function to identify injury causes and performance limitations.
History Assessment
We begin with a detailed patient history to understand your current concern, sporting activity, pain (if present), training load, footwear, goals and previous injuries.
Rehabilitation & Strength Programs
Insoles designed to alleviate pain, reduce injury risk, and enhance performance if indicated. This would involve a shared discussion and decision making, determining if custom orthotics or prefabricated (off the shelf) insoles would be required.
