What is podiatry?
Poor foot function can cause overload in the joints and soft tissues of the lower limb, potentially causing pain and affecting performance. Hannah will work closely with your CSPC physiotherapist to achieve optimum results.
What are orthotics? How can they can help?
What conditions can podiatry help with?
The majority of problems seen tend to be more chronic long term problems to tendons, ligaments, bones and joints. The injured structure will be identified and the aim of the assessment is to identify if there are excessive forces being placed on those structures as a result of the way someone moves through their feet.
Although a podiatrist is a specialist in the foot and ankle, they can also help problems further up the leg such as the Achilles tendon, shin, knee, hip and back pain. Back pain can often occur as a result of a leg length difference, which can also be addressed by an orthotic.
Hannah also has extensive experience at treating nasty trauma injuries to the foot and ankle with her work at DMRC Headley Court when treating injured forces personnel from recent conflicts. Neurological gait problems can also be helped by orthoses and special braces.
Hannah Watkinson has her own clinic in Buckinghamshire, as well as running other clinics around the country. You can read more about Hannah here.
