Podiatry involves the treatment of foot disorders ranging from Verrucae, Corns, Callus and Nail care through to the more specialist areas of screening and caring for Diabetic Feet, Children's Feet, Nail surgery and Bio-Mechanics. Bio-Mechanics deals with preventing or correcting injuries or disorders of the Skeleton and associated muscles, joints and ligaments by using Functional Foot Orthotics (custom prescribed insoles).

Bio-Mechanics means the way in which our body moves. Many of us are unknowingly designed with small structural abnormalities that make us prone to foot and lower limb problems that can lead to injury and stop us participating in our leisure and sporting activities. If the feet do not contact the ground correctly, posture is affected not to mention the abnormal forces and stresses placed upon Knees, Hips etc.

Rachel doesn't just look at feet, she watches how they function. The angle at which our feet hit the ground can be the cause of problems elsewhere. A skeleton which is out of alignment can cause friction and pressure on joints, bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments throughout the body. Correct the alignment of the feet - and the rest falls into place. Rachel is an expert in the lower limb, which is good news for sore feet, not to mention painful knees, hips and backs.

Rachel is available for Chiropody, Regular Diabetic Foot screening, Sports Injuries, Paediatrics and the way a child walks, Ingrowing Toenails and Verrucae treatment.
