If your issue is affecting your knees, hips or lower back, we would recommend you visit our partner clinic, Gait and Rehab, in Knowle, which has a dedicated Gait Lab to provide you with a more thorough assessment.
Our MSK (musculoskeletal) practitioner will take a full medical, medication, lifestyle & occupational history to determine whether any of these factors may cause or contribute to your presenting condition. This information is taken during a private consultation and stored on our secure database for your privacy & security.
There are three elements to a biomechanical assessment. Firstly, we assess the ranges of motion of the main joints of your feet, ankle and lower limbs to assess ‘your normal.’ We then assess your posture to visualise the effect your feet have on your skeletal system when standing. Finally we may use 3D Footscan© technology to analyse your gait (walking / running) and balance.
Once we have determined the cause of your condition we advise on the most suitable treatment plan to treat the presenting problem and prevent reoccurrence. Musculoskeletal conditions can be successfully treated by: modifying lifestyle, sports, and footwear; strengthening & stretching exercises; orthoses – prescription insoles that redistribute load and prevent repetitive injury; laser therapy that reduces inflammation and promotes healing.
We aim to provide professional, affordable foot care at all times. Our treatment fees therefore reflect the high standard of care we provide.

The first step to recovery is understanding the cause of your condition which will be explained to you at the end of your initial appointment.
In many cases, we provide a bespoke stretching/strengthening plan to help you rehabilitate at home.
Should you require any further intervention such as:
- Orthoses;
- Laser Therapy;
- Physiotherapy;
- Xray or ultrasound imaging;
the cost will be fully explained to you at the end of the consultation.
Anyone who is concerned about their musculoskeletal health.
We have assessed children as young as 2 years to adults as old as 95 years.
There is no age limit to the assessment and the tests are modified to suit the ability of the patient.
