Our Services
Assessment, management and diagnosis of the foot and lower limb areas, inclusive of:
Gait and footwear analysis
We use the latest technology to assess your bare-feet and footwear in action, along with your walking / running pattern. We will show you any excess overload or stress on your foot and lower limb, due to your gait pattern or footwear.
Biomechanical assessment
Includes testing range of motion within your joints, strength and your foot shape weight-bearing stance position, in comparison to non weight-bearing. This analysis is crucial for us to form personalised diagnosis and management plans.

Diabetes and neurovascular assessment
It is important if you are diagnosed with diabetes to attend the Podiatrist on a 6 – 12 monthly basis, for preventative measures and education. Many people are unaware of the effect Diabetes can have on your feet. A diabetes foot check will include testing vascular and neurologic components.

Nail surgery
Persistent painful nails can be frustrating and difficult to manage. There may be a reason you are struggling to manage this such as; incorrect nail trimming techniques, trauma, thickening or nails that are ingrown in nature. If pain is persistent after conservative management, we can offer nail surgery for a permanent, pain-free solution. This common procedure is performed in the clinic, using local anesthetic and sterile techniques, to remove the problematic portion of the nail.
