Musculoskeletal/Sports Podiatry Musculoskeletal
Podiatry in Somerset I look at a wide
range of foot, ankle and lower limb problems from acute injuries such
as ankle inversion sprain to conditions developing through overuse
such as plantar fasciitis or heel pain. I work with patients of all
ages and have the years of experience and industry knowledge to be
able to best treat their problems efficiently. A lot of the time pain
such as this can develop from medical conditions such as flat feet
which can lead to overuse of supporting muscles and lead to further
pain and inflammation.
I believe in treating the underlying
cause of a problem and not just the symptoms so that the pain does
not return in a few days. My expert skills of manual therapy and
acupuncture mean that I can always find an appropriate treatment for
you. In contradiction to a lot of other podiatrists, I will never
over use orthotics in my treatment plans as this can cause your feet
to become lazy if used too often. I believe in physically treating
the condition with a combination of therapies including soft tissue
mobilisations or specific massage, acupuncture, sports taping and
joint manipulations. I have a large interest in heel pain and have
found that my combination of therapies to work really well against
these conditions as after all – everything works better when it is
in the right place.
I have experience in lower limb sports related injuries and
can help you with recovery and rehabilitation. Following a thorough dynamic
athlete assessment I can highlight weaknesses in your biomechanics that is
contributing to the problem and an individual exercise programme will address
load management, functional conditioning & gait retraining to help you get
back stronger to your activities whether it be walking or sports.
