🦶 What’s really going on with your feet? Our digital foot scan can tell you.

As part of your Musculoskeletal (MSK) Initial Consultation at Active Step, we use a state-of-the-art dynamic pressure plate to carry out a digital foot scan - and it gives us incredible insight.

Here’s what it reveals:
📊 How your feet bear weight when you walk or stand
📉 Imbalances or asymmetries in your gait
🦵 Areas of excessive pressure that could be contributing to pain in your feet, ankles, knees, or hips
🎯 Data to guide precise, personalised treatment — whether that’s exercises, orthotics, or further therapy

When combined with our Video Gait Analysis and physical exam, this scan helps us build a complete picture of your movement and foot mechanics.

Ready to stop guessing and start addressing the root cause of your pain?

💛 July, You’ve Been Incredible 💛

As we step into August, we're taking a moment to reflect and we’re feeling emotional, proud, and deeply grateful. July has officially been our biggest and most successful month EVER at Active Step and it’s all thanks to the most extraordinary team and the beautiful community we’ve built around us. 🌟

This month has reminded us what’s possible when passion meets purpose.

💫 Our founder and leader, Emily, continues to lead with heart, vision, and unwavering belief in what we’re capable of. Her Leading Practice coaching doesn’t just shape the way we work - it inspires us to believe in ourselves, and to show up as the best versions of who we are, every single day.

🧠 Sophie, with her brilliance and strategy, has opened doors that allowed us to care for more people than ever before. The kind of behind-the-scenes magic that changes everything.

👐 Our clinical team – what can we say? You bring so much more than expert care. You bring compassion, understanding, and a deep commitment to staying ahead of the curve. You truly change lives.

🤍 And our patient care team, the soul of our front-of-house, thank you for being the calm in the chaos, the kind welcome, and the quiet strength behind every seamless experience.

But most of all, thank YOU – our patients, our community. You’ve trusted us, supported us, and allowed us to be part of your journey. That means more than words can say.

We’re not just a clinic. We’re something more. We’re a team, a family, a movement. And this month, we’ve felt that in the most powerful way.

🌱 We have space to help even more people now – so if you know someone who deserves to be seen, heard, and cared for with the 5⭐ Active Step experience, send them our way, we would love to help.

Here’s to where we’ve been - and to all that’s still to come. 💫

💥Shockwave Therapy - No needles. No pain. Just results! 💥

Struggling with stubborn heel pain, Achilles issues, or tendon injuries that just won’t shift?

Shockwave Therapy is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment we offer at Active Step to help break the cycle of chronic pain and kickstart your body’s healing process.

It’s ideal for conditions like:
✔️ Plantar fasciitis
✔️ Achilles tendinopathy

How it works:
Shockwave uses focused sound waves to stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, and encourage tissue repair, helping you recover faster and get back to doing what you love.

Think Shockwave might be right for you? It all starts with a proper diagnosis.
