Sports Podiatry At The Movement Centre

For runners, athletes, sportsmen & sportswomen, foot and leg concerns are among the most common of all injuries. Coming from sporting backgrounds ourselves, our sports podiatry team know first-hand the frustration that injuries cause. They can be mentally and physically debilitating, often impacting on other parts of our lives. We recognise the importance of helping you get back to doing what you love, as quickly as possible, as well as minimising injury risk for those who are fit and healthy.

Here at The Movement Centre, we support both athletes and the everyday fitness enthusiast to manage a range of injuries, including:

• Heel pain
• Arch pain

This allows for a more accurate diagnosis of your problem and the root cause.
