If you are serious about your sporting or exercise activities you will know that injury or worse still re-occurring injuries can be very frustrating, and that your goal is to return to your chosen sport as soon as possible.
The majority of sporting injuries occur in the lower limbs; for example, the commonest acute injury is the ankle sprain, the commonest tendon injury is to the Achilles tendon and the most frequently seen joint pathology is patellofemoral syndrome – an injury involving the knee.
Podiatric intervention is often an integral component in the successful management of these and other lower limb injuries; our podiatrists specialise in assessing the biomechanics that can have a major contributory effect on sporting injuries.
We employ a complete range of assessment techniques to get to the root cause of your injuries including full video gait analysis which enables our podiatrists to view the body in slow motion, postural and physical assessments including muscle strength and flexibility testing.
