Radial shockwave therapy
- Stimulates collagen production at the injured site to support tissue repair
- Helps reduce inflammation and joint stiffness while improving mobility
- Supports faster healing and recovery
Radial shockwave therapy is an evidence-based treatment that is safe and non-invasive. Your podiatrist will assess your suitability for shockwave therapy and tailor the treatment to your condition and comfort level.
How does it work?
Radial shockwave therapy works by delivering focused sound waves to injured tissue, triggering a biological healing response within the body. These mechanical signals are converted into biochemical activity, leading to increased local blood flow, stimulation of tissue repair processes, and release of growth factors involved in healing.
This response supports collagen production, tissue regeneration, and the breakdown of abnormal or degenerative tissue changes. Shockwave therapy also helps reduce inflammation and modulate pain by desensitising nerve endings in the treated area, contributing to improved function and reduced discomfort over time.
Who may benefit from radial shockwave therapy?
Radial shockwave therapy may be beneficial for people experiencing:
- Chronic heel or arch pain
- Achilles or other tendon-related pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Ongoing soft tissue injuries
- Joint stiffness and reduced mobility
Certain foot or toe fractures to support tissue healing (where appropriate) - Ligament injuries such as ATFL tears
- Plantar plate tears
- Morton’s neuroma
- Bursitis
- Conditions that have not responded fully to rest or conservative care
Swift therapy for warts
- A non-invasive treatment that stimulates the body’s natural immune response to eliminate the virus rather than damaging the skin surface.
- This approach aligns with our philosophy of working with the body’s natural healing processes, while allowing patients to continue daily activities with minimal disruption.
- No dressings required, no daily topical medication and minimal downtime after treatment
What is swift therapy?
Swift therapy is an advanced treatment used for plantar (verruca) warts. Unlike traditional treatments that focus on destroying the wart tissue, Swift works by stimulating the body’s immune system to recognise and clear the virus responsible for the wart.
Who may benefit from swift therapy?
Swift therapy may be suitable for people who:
- Have persistent (months/years) or recurring plantar warts
- Have not responded to traditional treatments such as salicylic acids or freezing/cryotherapy
- Prefer a non-invasive treatment option
- Want minimal downtime
- Have warts causing discomfort, pain, or interference with walking or sport
- A convenient option for those who prefer not to manage daily at-home ointment or topical treatments.
How does swift therapy work?
Swift therapy delivers controlled energy that generates therapeutic heat within the wart tissue. This controlled energy heats the tissue beneath the skin surface, stimulating a local immune response without destroying the outer skin.
By activating the body’s natural defence mechanisms, Swift helps the immune system identify and clear the virus over time. As the immune response strengthens, the wart gradually resolves, often with reduced recurrence compared to surface-destructive treatments. As with all treatments, your podiatrist will assess whether Swift therapy is appropriate based on the wart type, location, and your individual circumstances.
Children’s gait assessment
- A comprehensive evaluation of how a child walks, runs, and moves, focusing on foot posture and lower limb alignment
- Identifies whether concerns are part of normal development or require support
- Provides guidance, reassurance, or treatment where appropriate
What is a children’s gait assessment?
A children’s gait assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of how a child moves. We look at walking and running patterns, foot posture, leg alignment, strength, flexibility, and coordination. The aim is to understand how a child’s feet and lower limbs are functioning as they grow.
These assessments help distinguish between normal developmental variations and movement patterns that may benefit from monitoring or intervention.
Who may benefit from a children’s gait assessment?
A gait assessment may be helpful for children who have:
- In-toeing or out-toeing
- Bowed legs or knocked knees
- Tip-toe walking
- Frequent tripping or falling
- Foot, leg, or heel pain
- Concerns raised by parents, teachers, coaches, or health professionals
- Suitable for children of all ages, from early walkers to active adolescents.
How does a children’s gait assessment work?
During the assessment, your podiatrist will observe how your child stands, walks, and runs, and assess joint movement, muscle strength, balance, and alignment. Age-appropriate testing is used to ensure the assessment is comfortable and engaging for your child.
Following the assessment, we explain our findings clearly and provide guidance tailored to your child’s stage of development. This may include reassurance, monitoring, exercises, footwear advice, or treatment where appropriate — always with a focus on supporting healthy movement and long-term development.
Foot mobilisation therapy (FMT)
- Aims to restore normal joint movement and improve range of motion
- Helps reduce stiffness and joint restrictions within the foot
- Can assist in managing foot arthritis and joint-related discomfort
By addressing joint stiffness and restrictions, we aim to improve movement efficiency, reduce strain through the lower limb, and support long-term function rather than short-term symptom relief.
What is foot and joint mobilisation therapy?
Foot and joint mobilisation therapy is a hands-on treatment approach used to improve joint movement, alignment, and function within the foot, ankle, and lower limb. It involves gentle, controlled movements applied to specific joints to help reduce stiffness, restore mobility, and support more efficient movement patterns.
This therapy focuses on addressing restrictions that may contribute to pain, altered walking patterns, or ongoing strain through the feet and legs.
Who may benefit from this treatment?
Foot and joint mobilisation therapy may be beneficial for people experiencing:
- Foot or ankle stiffness or restricted movement
- Ongoing or recurring foot pain
Cramps in the leg or foot - Arthritis affecting the foot or ankle joints
- Reduced range of motion following injury or immobilisation
- Altered walking or running mechanics
- Heel, arch, or forefoot pain related to joint restriction
How does it work?
Joint restrictions can alter how forces move through the foot and lower limb, often leading to increased stress on surrounding structures. Foot and joint mobilisation therapy aims to gently restore normal joint movement, allowing the foot to function more efficiently during walking, standing, and activity.
By improving joint mobility and alignment, this therapy can help reduce excessive load, improve comfort, and support long-term movement and function. It is often used alongside other treatments such as exercise therapy, orthotics, or footwear advice as part of a personalised treatment plan.
Orthotics
- Designed to support foot alignment and improve movement efficiency
- Available as 3 options: off-the-shelf, semi-custom, or fully customised
- Used to reduce strain, improve comfort, and support long-term function
What are orthotics?
Radial shockwave therapy works by delivering focused sound waves to injured tissue, triggering a biological healing response within the body. These mechanical signals are converted into biochemical activity, leading to increased local blood flow, stimulation of tissue repair processes, and release of growth factors involved in healing.
This response supports collagen production, tissue regeneration, and the breakdown of abnormal or degenerative tissue changes. Shockwave therapy also helps reduce inflammation and modulate pain by desensitising nerve endings in the treated area, contributing to improved function and reduced discomfort over time.
Who may benefit from orthotics?
Orthotics are shoe inserts designed to support the feet, improve alignment, and optimise how forces are distributed through the lower limbs during standing, walking, and activity. They can help reduce excessive stress on muscles, joints, and soft tissues, supporting more efficient and comfortable movement.
Depending on your assessment and needs, orthotics may be off-the-shelf, semi-customised, or fully custom-made.
How does orthotics work?
Orthotics work by supporting the foot in a more optimal position and guiding movement during gait. This helps improve alignment, control excessive motion, and reduce stress placed on vulnerable structures.
Off-the-shelf orthotics provide general support and may be suitable for mild concerns. Semi-custom orthotics offer additional adjustment for foot shape and activity demands. Fully custom orthotics are designed specifically for your feet following a detailed assessment, 3D scanning and can be customised based on your needs. Orthotics are often used alongside rehab exercises, footwear advice, or other treatments as part of a personalised plan focused on long-term movement and alignment.
Ingrown nail surgery
- A long-term solution for recurring or painful ingrown nails
- Performed in clinic under local anaesthetic
- Designed to reduce recurrence
What is ingrown nail surgery?
Who may benefit from ingrown toenail surgery?
Ingrown nail surgery may be suitable for people who experience:
- Recurrent or chronic ingrown toenails
- Ongoing pain, swelling, or infection around the nail
- Difficulty walking, exercising, or wearing shoes due to nail pain
- Ingrown nails that have not responded to conservative care
Your podiatrist will assess the nail and surrounding tissue to determine whether surgery is the most appropriate option.
How does Ingrown Toenail Surgery work?
Once the toe is numbed with a local anaesthetic, a section of nail is carefully removed. Phenol is then used to treat the nail matrix, reducing the risk of regrowth of that portion of the nail.
The procedure is typically quick, with clear aftercare instructions provided to support healing. Most patients are able to return to normal footwear and activities within a short period, depending on individual healing and activity demands.
Moon boot fittings
- Provides protection and offloading to support healing after injury or surgery
- Ensures correct fit, comfort, and safe use of the boot
- Helps maintain alignment and reduce strain during recovery
What is a moon boot fitting?
A moon boot fitting involves the assessment and fitting of a controlled ankle motion (CAM) boot, commonly referred to as a moon boot. These boots are used to protect and stabilise the foot or ankle while reducing load on injured structures during healing.
Proper fitting is essential to ensure comfort, safety, and effective support throughout the recovery period.
Who may benefit from a moon boot fitting?
Moon boot fittings may be recommended for people with:
- Foot or ankle fractures
- Tendon and ligament injuries and tears
- Post-surgical recovery needs
- Conditions requiring offloading or immobilisation
Your podiatrist will assess whether a moon boot is appropriate based on your diagnosis and stage of recovery.
How does a moon boot fitting work?
During the fitting, your podiatrist will select the appropriate boot size and style, adjust straps and padding, and ensure proper alignment of the foot and ankle. You will be guided on how to walk safely, manage leg length differences, and care for your boot during daily activities.
Clear advice is provided on wear time, activity modification, and progression to support safe healing and a gradual return to movement.
Why proper moon boot fitting matters
Benefits of a properly fitted moon boot:
- Provides correct support and alignment to protect the injured area
- Reduces unnecessary pressure on healing bones, tendons, or ligaments
- Improves comfort and stability when walking
