How Balanced Podiatry + Biomechanics Works

Musculoskeletal Podiatry

We will evaluate your foot and lower limb function to explain sources of injury. Once overloaded tissues have been identified a rehabilitation programme will be proposed to restore normal pain free movement or sports participation. This will involve a tailored stretching and strengthening programme to meet individual needs, often harmonised with the wearing of inshoe devices called orthotics to accelerate this.

Ramsay Sloss

Ramsay is a high level athlete competing at International level with GB Masters and as such is particularly adept at customising his orthotics along with stretch and strength training programmes to suit you needs.

Wearing a high tech insole "PODOsmart" you will walk or run for two minutes to collect data that is then transferred from the insole to to clinician. You will also be asked to perform weight and non-weight bearing tests using a high tech pressure plate. All this data will be used to create your bespoke Orthotics.
