SPORTS PODIATRY



Diagnosis
Sports podiatry is the understanding, prevention and management of lower limb injuries in sport. A sports podiatry consultation may include a biomechanical analysis, video gait analysis, a footwear assessment, diagnosis of injury and a management plan. The foot is often the cause of other lower limb and back problems also, and we can work in a team with other practitioners to make sure you get the best outcome.
