  • 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

My sporting past has led to 5 operations and I have been seeing Simon Costain since 1997.  He is my favourite medical professional that I have been referred to and, by some way, the best value for money.
