Chiropody / Foot Care

When your feet, toes and nails look and feel like they need some attention, getting quality foot care from a fully qualified HCPC registered podiatrist or chiropodist is essential. Receiving regular chiropody treatments will keep your feet in good working order – some feet need treatment every 6 weeks, others only once a year. We provide chiropody treatments for all those niggling foot problems, including:
• Corn & callus, hard skin removal
• Specialist Diabetic foot care
  • Read More
    • Fungal infections and fungal nail perforation 
    • Nail problems and nail cutting
    • Verruca treatments including Verruca needling, chemical and freezing / Verruca cryotherapy
    • In-growing nails – nail brace and nail surgery
Podiatry Insoles / Orthotics

If you have lower limb pain, it’s worth trying our Cheltenham Podiatry Biomechanics Clinic. Our trained podiatrists will look at how your feet are behaving when you walk – the medical term for this is Gait Analysis. Feet can often cause painful conditions such as:
  • Flat feet
  • Achilles pain
  • Bunions
  • Read More
    • Shin splints
    • Plantar fasciitis
    • Neuromas
    • …and more

    A podiatrist can prescribe a variety of orthoses or insoles – from the very best prescription custom-made (using casts of your feet) versions to great-value insoles that we modify to suit your feet. The podiatrist may decide to refer you to the physiotherapy team if you require some specialist exercise therapy and stretches.

Physiotherapy

We provide a variety of modern and traditional physio treatments, including manual therapy, joint mobilisations, muscle myofascial release, rehabilitation, exercise therapy, ultrasound, kinesiotape and – most importantly – lots of advice and self-management tips. 
Each physio treatment plan is individual to the patient. Our acupuncture physiotherapists have great success in reducing pain where other treatments have failed.

    We strive to get you back to normal, as soon as possible - whether you are retired and can't manage the garden, or a sports person who can't compete. We treat all joints, back pain, neck pain, nerve, muscles, ligaments, tendonitis, injuries, rehabilitation etc – too many to list.


    Our physiotherapists and podiatrists are the very best and all registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

Incontinence and Pelvic Physiotherapy

We offer a range of services for both men and women experiencing leaking from either their bladder or bowel. Sally Church, our specialist continence physiotherapist has over 10 years of experience of working with people with continence problems. She is acutely aware of the sensitive nature of these issues, and knows many people are often too embarrassed to discuss this problem with others, even their own doctor.
