Musculoskeletal Podiatry Service

Neville Parker, MSK Podiatrist

Biomechanics is the study of how the body behaves under stress and strain. Podiatry practises the clinical application of this knowledge and understanding. Clinically we look at the movements of your foot and how it compensates for poor alignment and function as it contacts with the ground. Foot dysfunction can also affect the rest of your lower limb and leads to aches and pains in your feet and other areas of your body – such as your knees, hips and back.

Musculoskeletal (MSK) Podiatrists should be the first health professional you should approach if you have activity related foot pain. They are trained to identify the cause and potential origins of lower limb dysfunction to resolve a multitude of conditions that can make being on your feet, or taking part in any sport uncomfortable. Conditions such as Plantar Fasciitis, Metatarsalgia, Arch pain, Tibialis Posterior Dysfunction and Achilles Tendinopathy are regularly managed by MSK Podiatrists.
