Sports Podiatry

Helping You Perform at Your Best

Sports podiatry focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of foot and lower limb conditions that affect athletes and active people of all ages. Whether you’re a weekend runner, a professional athlete, or someone who just wants to stay active without pain, sports podiatry provides tailored care to keep you moving at your best.

Sports podiatry focuses on:

Biomechanical gait and movement analysis

Overuse injuries (e.g., plantar fasciitis, shin splints, Achilles tendinopathy)

Sports-specific injuries (e.g., stress fractures, turf toe, ankle instability)

Injury prevention through customised footwear advice, load management, and strengthening programs

Performance optimisation with 3D-printed or casted custom orthotics and tailored rehabilitation plans

What is the difference between Sports Podiatry and General Podiatry?

General Podiatry keeps feet healthy for everyday life.

Sports Podiatry takes a performance and injury-prevention approach, with a deeper focus on movement mechanics, high-load stress, and return-to-sport strategies.

Put simply: all sports podiatrists are general podiatrists, but not all general podiatrists specialise in sports.

The Process

Comprehensive Assessment

We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your injury, training history, and goals. This includes a clinical examination of your feet, ankles, knees, and overall biomechanics.

Advanced Gait & Movement Analysis

Using tools such as pressure mapping, 3D gait treadmill analysis, and high-speed video, we identify how your feet and lower limbs move under load. This helps pinpoint the root cause of pain or inefficiency.

Personalised Treatment Plan

A tailored plan is created to get you back to activity quickly and safely. This may include custom 3D-printed or casted orthotics, footwear advice, load management strategies, and strengthening or rehabilitation exercises.

Ongoing Care & Performance Optimisation

We don’t just treat the symptoms — we work with you long-term to prevent recurrence and optimise performance. Regular reviews ensure your orthotics, footwear, and training program continue to match your activity levels and sporting goals.
