What is Sports Podiatry?


What is Sports Podiatry

Sports Podiatry involves the assessment and management of all lower leg injuries, not just for those that play sport.

Sports Podiatrists are trained to perform biomechanical assessments to identify the function of the foot and lower leg and the effect that it has on the rest of your body.

This includes assessing foot and ankle joint range of motion, muscle and ligament testing, footwear assessment & walking/running gait analysis using slow motion video feedback.
