The most common problems we see are plantar fasciitis or plantar fasciopathy, ankle sprain/fracture, shin splints and other tendon complaints. Often it’s the foot and ankle that is responsible for a problem higher along the chain (knee, hip, lower back). Many conditions of the foot and ankle can relate to footwear and may require orthotic intervention or offloading with an orthopaedic walking boot. We can assess your clinical presentation and prescribe boots or orthotics if they are indicated. We can also give you advice regarding your footwear and provide an overall biomechanical assessment of your lower limb.
