• Podiatrists working here are very experienced at advanced Podiatric Foot Mobilisation Techniques (FMT). This is best described as Podiatric mobilisation and manipulation of several of the 30-foot joints.
  • These techniques allow us to often manage or even resolve foot mechanical problems, with exercises prescribed, often with or without the use of foot orthoses.
  • Podiatrists working here work in tandem with local Osteopaths and Chiropractors who have a far superior knowledge of joint mobilisation and manipulation of not only the feet, but the rest of the body, so when the rest of the body is involved in gait problems, we often call upon their expertise to help improve leg, hip and back problems also.
  • Podiatrists, Chiropractors, Osteopaths and Physiotherapists work together in a multidisciplinary fashion to cross refer in order that we provide the best all round care for your specific problems.

  • What does a podiatrist do?

    Podiatrists are healthcare professionals who have been trained to diagnose and treat abnormal conditions of the feet and lower limbs. They also prevent and correct deformity, keep people mobile and active, relieve pain and treat infections. Our practice specialises in gait and postural problems and is a fully Accredited Podiatry practice.

  • What is FMT?

    Foot Mobilisation Therapy (FMT) is a gentle hands-on manual manipulation course of therapy treatment that works naturally and holistically with your body. It stimulates your body’s ability to repair and restore itself. This helps to reduce pain and inflammation while restoring foot mobility, function, and posture. This is provided by experienced Podiatrists or our in-house Osteopath.

Testimonial

I have been coming to Gait and Posture for over 10 years (after a recommendation) because of pain in my feet.  Simon Costain has always looked after me and each time has produced orthotics that have revolutionised my life and put me back to a healthy life of walking long distances, spending long times on my feet and rowing.  This has kept me fit and enabled me to lead a completely unchanged life.  Recently Denzil Trebilcock spent a huge amount of time with me explaining what was going wrong as he fitting my latest orthotics.

I cannot recommend Gait and Posture more highly each time I visit I think that they will not be able to help me but each time they resolve all my issues Bravo!
