How can we help?
We start by conducting a comprehensive initial assessment, where we gather a thorough medical and injury history and then complete a physical exam and biomechanical assessment to help us to understand the causative factors and determine a diagnosis.
We will also watch you walk, perform functional movements, and assess your footwear.
At your initial consultation, our podiatrists will discuss the contributing factors to your injury and formulate a recovery plan that reduces loads in your injured tissues and allows them to heal. This may include padding and strapping, orthotics, footwear advice, manual therapy and an exercise program.
