It is probably nothing, but it has been there a while?

That is the sentence we hear most, usually about six weeks after it started. We are not in the business of benching people. Most of what we do is about keeping you training with a plan rather than stopping you. Tell us what the niggle is and a podiatrist will come back to you.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I see a sports podiatrist?
Seeing a sports podiatrist can benefit anyone who participates in physical activity, especially those with foot and ankle concerns. Sports podiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of injuries such as plantar fasciitis, stress fractures and ankle sprains, and can provide personalised treatment plus guidance on proper footwear and orthotics to keep you active and pain free.
How can I avoid injuries when running?
Make sure you have proper footwear that supports your feet, gradually increase your mileage rather than pushing too hard too quickly, and incorporate strength training that targets your legs and feet. Listen to your body and take rest days when needed, and see a sports podiatrist if you experience pain or discomfort.
What happens if a sports injury is left untreated?
If sports injuries are left untreated they can worsen and potentially lead to chronic pain or long term damage. Ignoring pain can also cause compensatory movements or overuse of other body parts, leading to further injuries, so it is important to seek attention if you experience pain during physical activity.
