Advanced Foot Care Technology: What Charlie Learned at the UK's Leading Gait Conference

When it comes to treating foot and ankle problems, precision matters. That's why our podiatrist Charlie recently attended the Gait and Motion Conference 2025 at the NEC Birmingham – where leading healthcare professionals and sports medicine experts gather to share the latest advances in foot care technology.

The Technology Behind Your Treatment

At Kenilworth Footcare, we use the Footscan system daily – the same advanced technology trusted by over 500 healthcare clinics across the UK, Ireland, and the UAE, and by elite sports teams including England's women's World Cup squad.

This sophisticated 3D pressure analysis system helps us diagnose the root cause of conditions, including:

The data we gather allows us to design bespoke orthotics (custom insoles) that are precisely tailored to your unique foot structure and movement patterns.

Learning from the Best in Sports Medicine

Charlie heard from experts who work with Olympic athletes and professional sports teams, including:

  • Jamal Mashlab, Director of the Lillishall Clinic (Team GB), who demonstrated collaborative patient care approaches

  • Emma Price, a podiatrist who helped an England World Cup rugby player overcome a severe ankle injury

  • Specialists in treating runners, footballers, and cyclists

What This Means for Your Care

Three key insights from the conference will directly enhance your treatment experience:

1. Your Input Matters

Research shows that patients who understand their foot pressure analysis and are involved in designing their orthotic treatment achieve better outcomes and higher satisfaction. We'll take time to explain your results and involve you in every decision.

2. Realistic Expectations Lead to Better Results

Recovery takes time – muscles typically need 4-6 weeks to respond to corrective exercises and gait changes. We'll set clear, achievable milestones so you know what to expect throughout your treatment journey.

3. Comprehensive Care Works Best

There are no miracle cures. Successful treatment of musculoskeletal problems often requires a combination of therapies – custom orthotics, targeted exercises, appropriate footwear, and sometimes additional treatments like K-Laser therapy.

A Real Patient Success Story

Charlie recently treated a retired maths teacher experiencing painful big toe joint problems. By sitting down together to review her pressure measurements, they could clearly see the dysfunction in how her joint was flexing.

Working collaboratively, they designed an orthotic with the right amount of cushioning, heel height, and arch support for her specific needs. At the fitting appointment, they fine-tuned the materials and made adjustments together.

This partnership approach – where you're informed, involved, and empowered – leads to better outcomes and greater confidence in your treatment.

Your Treatment, Your Way

At Kenilworth Footcare, we believe the best outcomes come from working together. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, recovering from injury, or looking to improve your athletic performance, we'll:

✓ Explain your assessment results in clear, simple terms
✓ Involve you in designing your treatment plan
✓ Consider all factors: footwear, materials, lifestyle, and goals
✓ Support you with patience and expertise throughout your recovery
✓ Adjust and refine your treatment as needed

Studies consistently show that patients who trust and believe in their treatment are more likely to recover successfully. Our commitment is to earn that trust through transparency, collaboration, and evidence-based care.
