A big thank you to Tanya from TM First Aid for such a fun, engaging and in-depth First Aid training day!

We all left feeling confident, well-prepared, and with bags of knowledge — plus plenty of hands-on experience to match. While we hope we never need to use these skills, knowing that every member of our team is a qualified first aider gives us real confidence that we can step in and help if needed.

It’s all part of our commitment to keeping our practice — and the people in it — safe 💙

Looking after your feet whatever your age

Have you ever been told your orthotics are right… but they still don’t feel quite right? 👟
Often, it’s not the orthotics — it’s the shoe.

As podiatrists, we want your orthotics to have the highest possible impact, but we sometimes see them placed into footwear that just doesn’t support what they’re designed to do.

Two things we look at closely are stack and drop 👇

Stack is the total height of the sole under your foot. A very high stack can reduce stability and control, meaning your orthotics have to work harder than they should.

Drop is the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. Too much (or too little) drop can change how your foot loads and moves — and that can undo some of the benefits of your orthotics.

The right footwear + the right orthotics = better comfort, better function, better results ✔️

If you’re unsure whether your current shoes are working with your orthotics, we’re always happy to help.

Our Gait & Motion technology is like a GPS for your feet! We can spot movement patterns, prevent injuries, and create orthotics that are actually made for YOU.

This year we have carried our more Gait Analysis appointments than in any previous year. From podiatry recommendations to word of mouth from existing patients the news of benefit of a gait anaylsis is spreading far and wide.

Don't miss out, book yours now!

When you arrive, you’ll complete a new patient form covering your health information and any concerns or problem areas. You’ll then go through this with your podiatrist so we can fully understand you and choose the best approach for your treatment.

Your appointment will include routine foot care, such as nail trimming and treatment of any corns or callus.

If you’re experiencing other concerns — like fungal nails, verrucas, or ongoing foot pain — we’ll start a treatment plan and talk through what future appointments may involve.

If your podiatrist identifies something that needs further investigation, such as ingrown toenail surgery or a gait analysis, we’ll explain everything clearly and answer your questions, so you feel confident about the next steps.

Friendly, thorough, and tailored to you — that’s our approach.

Many sports injuries don’t start with impact — they start with movement. As podiatrists, we know that understanding your gait (how you walk and run) is often the first step in preventing injury. Small imbalances can place repeated stress on muscles, joints, and tendons over time.

Pair gait analysis with targeted sports massage, and you can reduce tightness, improve mobility, and help your body move more efficiently — before pain becomes injury.

Whether you’re training, competing, or just staying active, preventative care can keep you doing what you love for longer.

As podiatrists, we often see children with foot or leg pain that’s dismissed as “growing pains” — but ongoing discomfort isn’t something to ignore.

We recommend a podiatry assessment if your child:
• Complains of foot, heel, knee, or leg pain
• Avoids sport or physical activity
• Trips or falls more than expected
• Walks or runs differently
• Has pain that keeps coming back or worsens with activity

Early assessment can help identify biomechanical issues, growth-related conditions, or footwear concerns — and prevent problems from continuing into adulthood.
