What is sports podiatry?
Sports podiatry focuses on diagnosing, managing, and preventing injuries related to physical activity. Unlike general foot care, sports podiatry takes into account the stresses placed on your feet and lower limbs during running, jumping, pivoting, and repetitive motion.
Common conditions we treat include:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Achilles tendonitis
- Shin splints
- Ankle instability or sprains
- Stress fractures
- Forefoot and toe pain
- Knee pain related to foot function
Early intervention is key to successful sports injury treatment, so don’t ignore discomfort that lingers after training or competition.
Personalised sports injury treatment plans
We take a comprehensive approach to managing sporting injuries. Your treatment may include:
- Gait and biomechanical assessments
- Footwear evaluation and modifications

- Orthotics to correct alignment or offload stress
- Strengthening and conditioning advice

Our goal is not only to relieve your symptoms but also to address the underlying causes to reduce the chance of recurrence.
