Podiatry
Podiatry can assess and treat many common foot problems. Through bespoke treatment they assist in improving walking and running. They can also help to reduce your risk of injuries in the future.
Our Specialist Podiatrist excels in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of Common Foot and Ankle Injuries.
They treat ingrown toenails, corns, hard skin, verrucaes, and fungal infections.
Our podiatrist also does Biomechanical Assessments, and can assist in bespoke insoles or orthotics, e.g. if you have very flat feet or you overpronate during walking or running. They can also give advice on shoewear.
