PRESEASON PREHAB: BUILD YOUR FOUNDATION BEFORE YOU COMPETE
Preseason isn’t just about getting fit — it’s about preparing your body to stay strong, resilient, and ready for the demands of your sport.
1. Proprioception — Your Body’s GPS Sharpen balance and control with simple drills like single‑leg holds, eyes‑closed balance, or light hop‑and‑land work.
2. Single‑Limb Strength — Stability & Symmetry Most athletic movements happen off one leg, so build strength and support with single‑leg calf raises, hinge variations, or split‑stance squats.
3. Sport‑Specific Prep — Train for What You Play Rehearse the movements your sport demands: accelerating, stopping, changing direction, landing well, and conditioning at game‑like intensity.
If you’ve got any niggles or minor injuries, book in to see us — don’t let something small turn into something bigger.

Just a few tips and tricks to keep your feet looking summer ready

☀️Book an appointment to keep all the hard skin and cracked heels gone! Your skin is your bodies main barrier for keeping bacteria out so we want to avoid cracks and openings. Book with the ladies at

☀️Using a good quality foot cream that is meant for your skin. Your podiatrist will recommend the correct foot cream for your skin type eg and Walkers Urea

☀️Archie’s: as it starts to warm up we move out of closed in shoes and into open shoes, so Archie jandals/slides are a great alternative to bare feet to take pressure off the heels

☀️Rotate your footwear: as we start to walk and run more with these lovely sunny evenings, make sure you replace your shoes regularly and allow your shoes to rest every 24-48 hours or rotate.

Your feet and your body deserves it 👣

Patients who visited a podiatrist for an ingrown toenail had to go to their GP for a prescription, collect it from a pharmacy, and return to the podiatrist to have the nail treated.
