As a clinic we treat a wide range of different ailments from foot and ankle pain to neck pain and headaches however we also specialise in the treatment of runners and running injuries. Luke is our gait and running injuries specialist and understands the impact running can have on peoples lives (and more importantly the effect not running can have when injured)
We offer detailed gait analysis sessions in which we look at the way you run to identify possible reasons for your aches and pains! From this and the rest of the assessment we can discuss with you the best ways to improve your symptoms and get you back to running ASAP!
Luke has 11 years’ experience dealing with a wide variety of athletes across many sports however; his work with Podiatrists over the years has given him a passion in gait and lower limb biomechanics, and running injury management.
Luke Offers Running Gait Analysis as well as a full lower limb biomechanical screen to ensure your treatment plans are specific and targeted to your individual requirements. These appointments last over an hour and will give you an insight into why you are having your issues, and what can be done to rectify them.
He also has runners in for screening sessions, which are not only aimed at the injured athlete but those wanting to reduce injury risk and ultimately improve performance.
The assessment also includes a full and detailed examination of factors such as:
Limb length
Muscle strength
Muscle tension
Spinal mobility
Ankle, knee, hip mobility
Dynamic control and balance
Luke is also a specialist in lower limb tendon pathology (such as Achilles Tendinopathy, Gluteal Tendinopathy and Patellar Tendinopathy, to name a few). For those more chronic tendon pathologies, we are able to offer Radial Shockwave to help speed up recovery.
Sessions with Luke are available in Chesterford, near Saffron Walden and in Sawston, Cambridgeshire.
