Sport Podiatry: Injury & Rehabilitation
We understand the importance of a structured and timely return to activity following injury. Whether your goal is to compete in a marathon or race around after the kids pain free, we work with you whatever stage you are at!
At Katie Nilan Podiatry, we are uniquely qualified in that Ben our resident sports podiatrist has a strong background and a keen interest in sports medicine and rehabilitation – just check his bio here. Our vision is firmly set on your long-term outcomes – not just helping to alleviate your pain and restore strength and function to your injury site now, but to take the right steps to help prevent it from happening again in the future.
Given the results of your biomechanical assessment are a key factor in guiding your treatment and management plan, it’s important to ensure the most accurate results and that a wide range of information is collected. With a commitment to innovative technology and superior results for our patients, one of the ways that we achieve this is using Sensor Medica® gait analysis system and the latest in 3D laser foot scanning technology.
Your recovery plan is based on proven, gold-standard principles. It encompasses all the deficits that we identify through your assessment, not just the ones directly related to your injury. This way, we don’t just help you recover, but aim to optimise your performance and leave you feeling and moving better than when you first walked through our doors.
