Podiatry and Orthotics
Podiatry is a highly specialised area that deals with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of foot and lower limb pain. Orthotics are custom made, fitted and adjusted on site at Balance when necessary. Specialists in running, cycling, skate and ski boot orthotics.
Mick Habgood our podiatrist will focus primarily on the biomechanics of your feet and legs. Look at how your limbs interact with the ground beneath them as you walk and run to determine how this has caused your specific foot, ankle, shin, knee, hip or even lower back problem.
Our highly skilled podiatrist combines his knowledge with our physiotherapists, movement and conditioning coaches, Pilates instructors, and the whole team to ensure you get back as soon as possible to whatever it is you do at a level higher than you were before.
Podiatry offers long term solutions to existing injuries or as a way of keeping you in your game or the activities you have a passion for for longer without sustaining further injury.
