What do My Feet have to do with it?

Your feet have a direct impact on the rest of your body. Like the foundation of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them. When a small problem develops in your feet, a subtle change in the way you walk will cause a chain reaction of adjustments in your posture and walking mechanics. These changes can put stress on joints higher up in your body, and lead to more serious problems. By using custom orthotics I can help to rebalance your feet, reducing pain and discomfort and returning you to a natural body movement. This assists your general well-being no matter where your feet may take you.

To help me to provide the best and most accurate treatment within the my clinic I have recently invested in state of the art computerised foot scanning technology, called TOG GaitScan™System. By having the patient simply walk over an electronic sensor pad this system detects how your weight is distributed over your feet,highlighting any areas that may indicate a potential problem.

It is well known that if your feet are not performing properly (their biomechanics) it can not only lead to foot pain but a host of other complaints such as;

1. Localized foot pain
2. Bunions, hammer toes
3. Arch / heel pain
4. Leg / knee pain
5. Hip or back pain - even neck pain
