Musculoskeletal podiatry
Pain in the feet, ankles or lower limbs is often linked to how your body moves. Musculoskeletal (MSK) podiatry focuses on diagnosing and treating problems affecting muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments, not just the feet themselves.
We treat both active individuals and those whose pain affects everyday walking.

-
Heel pain and plantar fasciitis
