Sports injuries
At Gait Way Podiatry in North Lakes, we frequently treat athletes and have a special interest in managing sports injuries. These injuries often stem from underlying biomechanical issues. When the body is not functioning at its best, it can lead to compensatory movements, which may overload muscles, ligaments, and tendons. That’s why we conduct a biomechanical assessment; it helps us identify the underlying factors contributing to the injury.
Common sports injuries we can help you with:
- General foot pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendonitis
- Ankle sprains
- Shin sprains
- Stress fractures
- Knee pain
- Improving gait posture and alignment
- Preventative strategies
Treatment
We work alongside our clients to develop personalised treatment plans to get them back on their feet and training again. Treatment options may include:
- Strapping
- Stretching and strengthening exercises
- Footwear
- Custom orthotics recommendations
- Shock wave therapy
