What is Sports Podiatry?

Sports Podiatry is the medical specialty dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of all problems with the feet and lower limbs; whether it be through the prescription of appropriate (or sports specific) footwear, customised training programs, or orthotics to optimise foot and lower limb health and movement. Our podiatrists are trained to assess the biomechanical (physics of human movement) capabilities of the lower extremities. We evaluate lower leg stability, posture, alignment, and functionality in line with specific movement or sports.

So how do I know if I should visit a sports podiatrist as opposed to an orthopaedic surgeon and general podiatrist?

1. Refinement and level up performance Even if you don’t experience pain during training sessions or event days, you can benefit, as sports podiatry is as much about optimisation as it is about treatment

2. Avoid Injury Prevention is always better than cure. We help by performing sport specific assessments, creating tailor made programs or warm up routines that help keep your body in top condition and best prepare it for the rigours of the movement you’re putting it through

3. Injury Rehabilitation
