What It Is
Podiatry is the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and lower limbs, with a focus on how they move and function. At Courtyard Clinic, our podiatrists specialise in biomechanical assessment to identify issues that may be contributing to pain, reduced performance, or risk of injury.
Common reasons for choosing podiatry
Biomechanical podiatry can help with:
- Foot and ankle pain from injury, overuse, or arthritis
- Heel pain, including plantar fasciitis
- Problems with gait or running technique
- Pain or discomfort related to walking, running, or sports
- Lower limb overuse injuries, such as shin splints
- Knee, hip, or back pain linked to foot mechanics
What to expect
Your podiatrist will begin with a detailed biomechanical assessment, which may include watching you walk or run, measuring movement patterns, and assessing strength and flexibility. From this, they will develop a personalised treatment plan which may involve specific exercises, orthotic prescription, footwear recommendations, or activity modification.
