Musculoskeletal Podiatry

Musculoskeletal podiatry, often known as MSK podiatry, focuses on diagnosing and treating pain linked to the muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments of the foot and lower limb.

If you are experiencing persistent foot, ankle or lower limb pain, a structured biomechanical assessment can identify the underlying cause and guide targeted treatment.

Specialist MSK Biomechanics Assessment

Glen Foley is an experienced MSK biomechanics podiatrist with over 25 years of clinical practice across private care, the NHS and military rehabilitation. His background includes work at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre, supporting both service personnel and elite athletes.

A musculoskeletal assessment examines how your feet function during standing and movement. This may include:

  • Weight-bearing examination
  • Joint and muscle testing
  • Balance assessment
  • Dynamic video gait analysis
  • Footwear review

Video gait analysis allows detailed evaluation of walking or running mechanics, helping identify patterns that may contribute to injury. Findings are then explained clearly, and a structured treatment plan is agreed based on your symptoms and activity level.
