Complex assessment of the structures of the foot and legs, focussing on the relevance to pain experienced in standing, walking or other physical activity.  Assessment will incorporate hands on movement of the feet and legs, combined with standing posture and movement in gait (walking and running as needed).  Assessment of specific activities that lead to pain will also be undertaken.

Once this is concluded a customised treatment plan will be developed in consultation with the patient in order to best achieve their aims.  This may include exercises for strength and stability, and or flexibility. Alongside orthoses as needed to adjust the foot and legs relationship to the floor, reducing ‘mechanical strain’ on the affected structures, enabling recovery from pain and protecting from further strain.
