What we treat

From your heels to your knees.

Pain in your feet and legs rarely starts where you feel it. We diagnose the root cause across seven of the most common problem areas — and build a treatment plan to resolve it.

01

Heel Pain

Heel pain is one of the most common reasons people come to see us. The usual culprit is plantar fasciitis, but it can also stem from Sever’s disease (common in active children), calcaneal stress fractures, or bursitis. We diagnose the precise cause, then start with conservative treatment.

How we treat it: conservative care first, with custom orthotics being the most effective long-term treatment for the majority of heel pain.

02

Arch Pain

Pain felt under the arch of the foot is often linked to how your foot loads and the support it gets through your stride. Left unaddressed it can flow on to the heel, knee and beyond.

How we treat it: orthotic therapy is the primary treatment, restoring support to the arch and correcting the underlying biomechanics.

03

Ankle Pain

Whether from an acute sprain or ongoing instability, ankle pain can sideline you fast. We assess the joint, the surrounding muscles and your movement patterns to understand what’s driving it.

How we treat it: targeted treatment paired with rehabilitative exercise guidance to rebuild strength and stability.

04

Achilles & Calf Pain

Achilles tendinopathy and calf pain are common in runners and active people. They respond best to a structured, progressive plan rather than rest alone.

How we treat it: hands-on treatment combined with a graded exercise programme to load and strengthen the tendon and calf safely.

05

Forefoot Pain

Pain through the ball of the foot and toes can make everyday walking a chore. We pinpoint the source — from the joints and nerves to footwear and load — and treat it directly.

How we treat it: treatment and exercises to relieve everyday aches and regain strength through the forefoot.

06

Knee Pain

Knee pain is frequently driven from below — by how your foot and lower limb move. Looking at the knee through a biomechanical, podiatry lens often reveals the cause others miss.

How we treat it: treatment and rehabilitative exercise guidance addressing the biomechanics behind the pain.

07

Shin Pain

Shin pain and shin splints are a classic overuse problem, especially when training load ramps up. The fix is rarely just rest — it’s addressing why the shin is overloaded in the first place.

How we treat it: treatment plus rehabilitative exercise guidance to settle symptoms and prevent recurrence.

Pain that won’t settle?

Don’t train through it. Book an assessment and let’s find what’s really going on.
