That’s why we offer dedicated sports podiatry services near you to keep you performing at your best and recovering quickly when injuries occur.
Our approach is more than just treatment. We combine expert clinical care with a deep understanding of sports science and biomechanics to provide a complete solution for injury management and prevention.

What Is Sports Podiatry?
Sports podiatry focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing injuries related to physical activity. This includes common conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, shin splints, ankle sprains, stress fractures, and biomechanical issues which affect your mobility. Our team takes a holistic approach, addressing not just the injury but the underlying cause: poor footwear, improper technique, or muscle imbalances.
Common Sporting Injuries
Most sporting injuries are caused by underlying biomechanical abnormalities. The following are common:
- Constant lateral ankle sprains
- Achilles tendonitis
- Anterior knee pain
- Constant cracking of joints
- Ligament weakness
- Unstable running
- Shin splints
- Big toe soreness
All these conditions have underlying causes. Rather than just the treatment of the symptoms, a cause and etiology must be determined and treated accordingly. A full biomechanical assessment will determine these causes.
When the body’s biomechanical system is not functioning normally, the body compensates for the abnormalities. This causes muscle imbalances, tearing of fascias and ligaments, muscle strains, degeneration of cartilage, bone mal-alignment and postural changes.
The use of orthotics is common in treating a wide range of lower limb sporting conditions. The main purpose is to realign the body’s biomechanical structures and correct the musculoskeletal disorders of the lower limb.
Tailored Treatments for Every Athlete
No two feet are the same, and no two athletes move alike. That’s why we provide personalised treatment plans based on your specific activity, injury history, and goals. Whether it’s custom orthotics to correct foot alignment, rehabilitation programs to restore strength, or preventative strategies to avoid future injuries, we tailor everything to your needs.

This helps us pinpoint the root cause of your issue and develop a precise, effective treatment strategy.
