Our
foot clinic combines sound biomechanical experience and clinical
knowledge with the latest computer technology. Wendy Russell-Rayner
is a registered osteopath and university foot biomechanics tutor.
She will make a full structural assessment of your joints, muscles
and ligaments of the feet, knees, hips and spine to assess your
weak spots and areas of the body subject to stresses, strains and
pain. If necessary she can study gait analysis (body movement) by
video, to discover abnormal movements that can produce high stresses
in joints and muscles, which can result in injury. Once the cause
of the problem is established, she diagnoses areas of the feet absorbing
too much pressure using the latest computer technology. Our computer
scans your feet and measures pressure distribution in the most accurate
way.
Once
the cause of the problem has been identified, she will discuss treatment
appropriate for you. This may include exercises you can do at home,
osteopathic treatment or some prescription orthotics. We make your
temporary prescription orthotics ourselves. You can then see very
easily over the next few weeks if we have helped you to eliminate
the cause of your pain with the minimum of expense.
If
prescription orthotics are right for you we will make you permanent
orthotics using our American laboratories. This is because American
technology is much more advanced than anything available in Europe.
We do not use just one company, but assess which of the available
products on the market is the right one for your particular circumstances.
We only use companies with the highest standards and reputation.
Our patients are very important
to us and many of our patients have come from word of mouth recommendation.
We will ensure that you are satisfied and on the rare occasion where
needed, our back up service and guarantee is second to none.
