Musculoskeletal Podiatry/Biomechanics

Oxford Chiropody
Foot Examination

Musculoskeletal Podiatry/Biomechanics - Initial Assessment £75

Appointments for adults aged 18+ only

Biomechanics is a branch of podiatry which deals with foot problems relating to your anatomy (muscles, tendons, ligaments and skeleton) such as abnormal foot function, joint alignment, muscle flexibility and gait (walking) patterns rather than physical complaints (corns, calluses, ingrown toenails…) that relate to pressure, poor footwear etc.

​

NEW PROBLEMS TREATED ONLY​

 

If you are a professional athlete, are involved in competitive sports, have a complex medical history that has affected your gait (such as stroke, multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions) or if you have an ongoing/longstanding injury, please make arrangements with a musculoskeletal specialist podiatrist or physiotherapist.
