What happens during the consultation
A thorough history of your problem will be taken alongside any correspondence if you have been referred.
We will analyse any footwear you wear regularly.
Generally we will then do a weightbearing and non weightbearing assessment looking at joint motions and positions whilst also doing appropriate clinical testing.
We will do a dynamic assessment possibly utilising slow motion video analysis and can also measure pressure distribution to both feet as well as various gait parameters.
From this conclusions will be drawn and a treatment plan formulated in discussion with yourself.
Treatment may include:
- Stretches and exercises
- Footwear advice
- Activity modification
- Strapping
- Mobilisation
- Ice
- Orthoses
Or referral to additional healthcare professionals to further assist with treatment.
