NK Active

Specialist Foot, Ankle & Lower Limb Clinic in Awbridge, Romsey, with satellite clinics in Basingstoke & Winchester.

See us for all lower limb issues, including diagnosis, gait analysis, sports injuries & rehab, general mobility and routine chiropody. Nick graduated from Northampton University in 2009 and finished his Masters in clinical lower limb biomechanics at Brighton University in 2019. He has been fortunate enough to work with a range of people, from those with the simple aim of being able walk to the shops, right up to elite / professional athletes, including the London 2012 Paralympic games. Nick then started NK Sports Podiatry Ltd, later becoming NK Active. Here are NK Active we are passionate about getting you back to activity, and more importantly keeping you there. We understand your pain, we have had several injuries and understand the pain of not being able to play sport and be active. We are fortunate enough to have 3D gait analysis equipment in our clinic, the only location south of London. 3D gait analysis allows us to look at walking and running in all 3 planes of motion, a normal camera can’t see rotation. It allows us to look at hip to toe function as one and takes out the guessing. Patients describe it as as ‘A MRI of how you run’

We have the AXiT strength by numbers system in clinic, which we utilise to gain a clear understanding of your strength profile. We have also recently acquired an AlterG anti gravity treadmill, which is beneficial to both injury recovery and improving strength and fitness. Combined with our shockwave equipment and Swift microwave therapy machine, we are truly a one-stop-shop for all your lower limb requirements. We will work with you, offering a range of treatments from exercise programmes, return to activity plans, footwear advice, custom orthoses, we will do everything we can to help you, with you in full control of your treatment plan. We keep up to date with the latest evidence and have access to a full-strength gym, to help take you the whole journey from injury back to activity, whatever level that is, remember age is just an number.

Tea Talks with Nick ☕️✨

No need to stress about “lost time” over the Christmas break, rest is part of the process. As we head into the first full week of 2026, the focus is simple: consistency over intensity.

Build your load gradually, ease back into your routine, and you’ll reduce the risk of injury while setting yourself up for long-term progress.

We hope you had a lovely holiday period and are now gently working your way back towards your goals. One step at a time, you’ve got this 💪

Nick & the NK Active team 💙

☕👣 Tea Talks with Nick | Gait Testing & 3D Gait Analysis

In this episode of Tea Talks with Nick, we’re breaking down gait testing and how we use 3D gait analysis at NK Active and when it’s actually useful (and when it’s not)

🧠 When 3D gait analysis can be really helpful:
✔️ If you’ve had a long history of injuries across different areas
✔️ When patterns of movement may be contributing to repeated problems

🚦 When it’s not the right tool:
❌ Following direct trauma
❌ After a recent change in training load or structure
❌ During a flare-up of a systemic condition
❌ If you’re currently uninjured and moving well

The right assessment at the right time makes all the difference. This episode is all about choosing the most appropriate tools to guide rehab, performance, and long-term progress.

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Romsey?

Hello, welcome to NK Active!

Thanks for stopping by to have a look at our page!

NK Active was founded by Nick Knight, who is one of our sports podiatrists.

Our aim is to help people get active and stay active and keep people moving forward. It doesn't matter if you are an elite athlete or if you are someone who just wants to go for a walk with your family, as long as you have a goal... we can help you get there!

A bit of history.

NK Sports Podiatry was started around 2016 and as this grew, we branched out from just podiatry and changed our name to NK Active; as well as opening a brand new clinic space!

The NK Active clinic.

We are fortunate enough to have access to state-of-the-art 3D gait analysis, allowing us to build a skeleton of yourself and really see how you do walk and run, some of our patients have described as a MRI of how you walk and run

We will work with you, offering a range of treatments from exercise programs, return to activity plans, footwear advice, custom orthoses, we will do everything we can to help you, with you in full control of your treatment plan.

We keep up to date with the latest evidence and have access to a full-strength gym, to help take you the whole journey from injury back to activity, whatever level that is, remember age is just an number.

The NK Active team.

All of our staff partake in some form of sport or physical activity so do really understand the emotional pain of not being able to do what you love. We understand the frustrations that having an injury brings and will be by your side until we get you back to this activity.

The NK Active podcast.

We wanted to help give you an insight into the people NK Active work with and what is it like going on the NK Active rehabilitation and recovery journey, so we started a podcast! You can listen on any of your usual podcast channels and the episodes cover:- common injuries and how to self manage them, what it’s like to be a patient at NK Active, companies we work with to help you achieve your goals and different treatments and services we offer.
