Physiotherapists and podiatrists use dry needling

Physiotherapists and podiatrists use dry needling as a treatment technique to address musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Dry needling involves inserting thin needles into trigger points or tight muscles to relieve pain and improve mobility.

Physiotherapists and podiatrists are trained in the technique and use it in conjunction with other therapies such as exercise, manual therapy, and education to provide comprehensive care for their patients.

By targeting specific areas of tension or dysfunction, dry needling can help reduce pain, improve range of motion, and promote healing.

We understand the importance of finding footwear t

We understand the importance of finding footwear that is not only comfortable and functional but also visually appealing. Here are some essential tips to help you pick the best pair of shoes that cater to your podiatric needs 👟 👟 👟

Wide Toe Box
A wide toe box allows for natural toe splay, crucial for preventing issues like bunions and hammertoes. Avoid shoes that are too narrow as they can squash your feet, leading to calluses and corns.

Cushioning
Proper cushioning in the midsole is vital for shock absorption and all-day comfort. It supports your feet during long periods of standing or walking, ensuring you feel great no matter how busy your day gets.

Stable Heel Counter
A stable heel counter provides both support and stability. It should feel firm when you press on it, helping to prevent your foot from slipping inside the shoe.

Fixation Options - Laces, Velcro, or Buckle
Choosing the right fixation helps reduce movement and slippage, securing the shoe adequately to your foot for a perfect fit.

Low Heel Height
Opt for shoes with a low heel height to prevent your foot from slipping forward, reducing excessive pressure on the forefoot and promoting better posture.
