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.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”77px”]\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

Some patients only need an initial consultation and with the right advice and treatment provided they can begin to take the first steps to recovery, others may require a few treatment sessions before they can return back to running or to sporting activities.
