Treatment methods

Manual Therapy: Skilled hands-on treatment to reduce stiffness, tension and pain. It improves muscle function and increases range of movement. It enhances relaxation and improves your performance.

Exercise prescription: Used to Empower, Educate and Enhance you beyond the consult. Specific exercises empower you to take ownership of your success at home. This leads to sustainable changes for life.

Custom Orthotics: Designed to align the foot and ankle in the most anatomically efficient position. This reduces pain. The latest advances in technology used. We use a 3D scanner to give the most precise result.

Biomechanical and Video Gait Analysis: Real time feedback on how you move to solve problems and achieve your goals

Cam boot fittings: Commonly known as a ‘moon boot’. Used to aid in the recovery of foot and ankle injuries.

General care: We give your feet all the love and care they need. You may need help with skin conditions such as corns or athletes foot. Toe nail conditions such as ingrowing toenails or thickened nails. Or foot deformities such as flat foot or claw toe. We are experts in keeping you standing on your own two feet!

Shockwave: Promotes a healing response to assist the body in repairing the concern. Great for tendon related issues. A great alternative to a cortisone injection. Recommended during your Podiatry consult dependent on your needs.

Dry Needling: An effective technique to release tight or overworked areas of a muscle. Targets trigger points with acupuncture needles. Restores range of motion (ROM), reducing pain and enabling more effective movement.

Diabetes Assessments & Risk Management: We provide annual and 6-10 week checkups. This ensures that the health of your feet is monitored and addressed so that they are healthy and happy!

Prolotherapy: This is a safe and effective treatment for pain and inflammatory conditions. It involves an injection that stimulates an inflammatory response. This helps to deposit new fibres and results in repair and increased strength. Relieves pain and promotes tissue healing.

Paraffin Wax Bath: One of the most effective methods of applying deep heat to relieve pain and stiffness. The warm paraffin also moisturizes for healthier looking, softer skin. Helps issues such as muscle fatigue, arthritis, fibromyalgia and skin conditions.
