Our Sports Podiatry Approach

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.

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.

Treatment;

Accurate diagnosis with evidence-based treatment plans tailored to your individualised sport, training load, and goals.

Orthotics;

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.

Running & Gait Analysis;

Video gait analysis to assess running mechanics and footwear suitability, with gait re-training or cues provided where required.

Rehabilitation & Strength Programs;

Targeted exercise programs focusing on strength, mobility, and injury prevention.

Footwear Advice;

Expert guidance on sport-specific footwear to support performance and reduce injury risk.

Injury Prevention & Performance Enhancement;

Programs designed to keep you training consistently and performing at your best.Collaboration & Team Approach; We take a collaborative approach to care and work closely with other health professionals such as physiotherapists, sports physicians, coaches, and trainers to ensure best outcomes.
