The First
Step...
Your body and your injury is unique to you which is why your first appointment involves an extensive assessment that lasts for 60 minutes.
History Taking & Physical Examination
We pride ourselves in implementing research based, evidence led practice. Providing the most effective treatment and rehabilitation programme for each client.
Full Musculoskeletal Screening with Optional Blood Test
This is a comprehensive muscle balance testing process which identifies tight, weak, overactive or underactive muscles which may have contributed to your injury. These screening tests allows the sports podiatrist to identify any abnormal patterns of joint movement or weakness within specific muscle groups. Optional blood tests can be a vital missing component to recovering from your current injury quicker, preventing further injury and to make sure you are in the best possible shape before you increase your mileage. See below for what type of markers we are looking for in your blood tests.
Diagnosis
The key to every effective treatment plan is getting the basics of a diagnosis correct. Once diagnosis has been confirmed an appropriate individualised treatment plan can be recommended.
