What to expect at the appointment?

All new patients will have a new patient assessment, we will record your medical history and any medication you are currently taking. A neuro/vascular assessment will be completed to assess your circulation and feeling in your feet.

After the assessment, a treatment plan will be discussed, and the appropriate treatment will be provided. Depending on the condition or circumstances, then it may be necessary for the patient to attend on a regular basis or if only one treatment/appointment is necessary, then advice on how to self care/manage their issue will be provided.

In some circumstances there may be a need for a referral onto their GP or other services which will be provided.
