About First Podiatry Ltd
First Podiatry offers comprehensive foot and ankle care, taking a holistic approach that considers how the foot, ankle and lower limb interact with factors like footwear and ground surface. Whether you're dealing with routine foot care, sports injuries, or chronic conditions, the practice provides assessment and treatment tailored to your needs.
Services include gait analysis with Tekscan Walkway technology to identify movement patterns, custom orthotics to support your feet, and exercise rehabilitation programmes designed around any muscle weakness or tightness identified during assessment. The practice also offers routine podiatry treatments, nail surgery, and verruca treatment. When conservative approaches need reinforcement, injection therapy is available as a more targeted option.
First Podiatry recognises that children require specialist assessment and treatment approaches different from adults, and footwear analysis is part of every consultation to ensure your shoes aren't contributing to your problems. If you're looking for podiatry that goes beyond surface-level care to address the root causes of foot and lower limb issues, First Podiatry provides evidence-based, individualised treatment.
