Plantar Fasciitis, Heel Pain

The most common problems acquired through daily wear and tear or an inherited anatomy causing overuse or inappropriate footwear. These can be managed or resolved successfully through treatment and advice.

Gait Analysis / Orthotics / Biomechanical examination

Neck, back, hip, knee, ankle, bunion and foot pain can all stem from the way we walk with the associated tendon and joint pain. A biomechanical examination plus gait analysis will show us of any anatomical anomalies and associated weakness or overuse. Orthotic / simple insole correction or personal recovery programme can be created to elevate or rectify.
