Treating your pain
All Biomechanical Assessments result in a tailored treatment plan for long-term results. This may include one or some of the following treatments & therapies:
Foot Mobilisation Therapy (FMT)
Tried everything but still in pain?
Have you been struggling with arthritis or ongoing foot pain, only to be told there’s nothing that can help? Foot Mobilisation Therapy (FMT) might be the solution you’ve been looking for.
FMT is a gentle, hands-on treatment that helps restore movement and function in the joints of your feet and ankles. Over time, stiffness, misalignment, and dysfunction can cause pain and compensation in other areas of the body. By gradually improving joint mobility, FMT helps correct these imbalances and supports natural movement.
Why Choose FMT?
- A non-invasive, natural approach to improving foot and ankle function
- Helps realign joints without the need for surgery
- Complements other treatments like dry needling, stretching, and strength exercises
- Can be used with or without orthotics- if you wear orthotics FMT can enhance their effectiveness
How can it help you?
Increased Joint Mobility
Stiff joints regain a better range of motion.
Better Lubrication
More synovial fluid helps protect and nourish the joints, reducing degenerative wear.
Stronger Foot Muscles
Supporting muscles become more engaged and resilient.
Improved Posture & Balance
Helping your whole body move more efficiently.
Pain Relief
As alignment and function improve, overall discomfort decreases.
Stronger Foot Muscles
Supporting muscles become more engaged and resilient.
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
Low-Level Laser Therapy, also called photobiomodulation therapy, uses red and near-infrared light to influence the way our body functions. By harnessing light energy, this therapy supports and speeds up the body’s natural healing processes. During treatment, a laser beam is applied to the skin, allowing light energy (photons) to penetrate the tissue and interact with specific molecules (chromophores), triggering various biological responses.
On a cellular level, LLLT initiates a chain reaction that enhances the body’s ability to produce energy more efficiently. Treats conditions such as bursitis (including hips), tendinitis arthritis, neuropathies & more!
Benefits of LLLT
- Speeds up the healing of soft tissue, bone and wounds
- Increases energy production
- Helps the body recover after activity
- Increased blood flow & joint flexibility
- Can help regenerate affected nerve cells
- Reduces pain & sensitivity
- Reduces inflammation & swelling
- Stimulates collagen production to help build strength
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique designed to relieve pain caused by specific trigger points in the feet. These trigger points, located within certain muscles, can be tender or painful when pressure is applied. They may develop gradually over time or as a result of an acute injury, such as an ankle sprain.
Many patients notice the benefits of dry needling shortly after treatment. It can be used on its own or alongside other therapies. Dry Needling has positive results for common conditions such as plantar fasciitis, shin splints, forefoot pain, ankle sprains, gluteal tendinopathies, hamstring tendinopathies, and many more.
How it works
A thin needle is inserted into the muscle’s trigger point. It’s not as painful as it sounds! You may feel a mild muscle twitch or a brief ache, followed by a sense of relaxation in the muscle. This technique helps release muscle tension, improve function, and enhance the range of motion.
Benefits of Dry Needling
- Relieves muscle tension
- Improves muscle function
- Improves range of motion
- Relief is noticed shortly after treatment
Injection Therapy
Prolotherapy Injections
Using an injection of dextrose diluted to an appropriate level, prolotherapy injections stimulate the body’s natural healing response- relieving pain from your muscles, nerves and joints. Great for conditions which have become chronic or need reactivation of the natural inflammatory response by triggering fibroblast activity – the building blocks for collagen.
Hyperdilation Injections
A local anaesthetic is injected into the join to reduce chronic muscle pain, as well as releasing scar tissue. This procedure also helps to reset the pathway that produces chronic pain signals in your brain. Overall relieving pain and improving muscle function. Great for many things but namely post surgical nerve pain or restrictions – pain which is often dispersed and ‘difficult to explain’.
Pilates & Movement
Our entire body is connected, and discomfort in one area often stems from another. With that in mind, I completed a Pilates certification to better treat my patients. Alongside manual therapies, I can prescribe exercises to build strength and balance throughout the body.
As a Pilates-certified podiatrist, I see feet through a truly holistic lens. My training allows me to appreciate both worlds: the precise, isolated movements that build foundation and the dynamic, multidirectional work that mirrors real life.
