The Podiatry

Some Knowledges

In each foot you have 26 bones, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles. This meant that 25% of the bones in your body are located in your feet. At each step the impact from the ground is making a wave which is going up at 200km/h from joint to joint (ankle, knee, hip and spine).

TOG GS

The objective is to correct the foot’s balance (joints, muscles, tendons) giving a better position for the person to walk in the correct way, minimizing the strength of the impact, we are going to improve posture and function.

It can help and might correct :

• Toes’ corrections (hammertoes).
• Pronation - Supination
• Achilles Tendonitis.
• Bunions.
• Neuromas.
• Plantar Fasciitis.
• Sesamoiditis.
• Improve sport performances
• Prevention on general foot structure

After a full biomechanical assessment, your GAIT (the way you walk) is computerized with latest pressure platform and your feet are casted with Plaster of Paris or with foam in order to customize orthotics which is going to be incorporated in shoes.Different materials can be used and I am only using the finest of them.

The pressure calculator which is placed on the floor is used to gather information as you walk across.

The insole/insert/orthotics will be made especially for your feet. Its manufacturation is man made bymyself in the high technology lab in Central London. This meant you can most of the time get your orthotics within the next 2 weeks, sometimes even less. Orhotics are not send to any company to manufacture them. I fully treat your condition.

The fitting is booked at the same clinic where you had your consulation and most adjustments can be done directly on site.

 

I offer some Podiatry package including:

• First appointment: Full Biomechanical Assessment, Gait Analysis by computer, Feet casting.
• Second appointment: Fitting of orthotics and test report.
• 1 month of follow up and adjustment if required.

Not sure you need it ?? I can arrange you a first podiatry consulation without treatment and we will discuss if you are a candidate for this treatment.

Chiropody and podiatry are treated separately but any questions you may have, please ask.
