Podiatry

At Bespoke Physiotherapy, our in-house Podiatrist, Greg Gillanders, specialises in podiatric biomechanics and orthotic therapy. With his extensive knowledge and extended experience, Greg has over 17 years of working as a musculoskeletal and sports podiatrist, specialising in sports injuries, orthopaedic foot complications and complex foot and ankle pain.

A Podiatry consultation will start with a discussion about the history of your presenting condition and all factors contributing to your pain. Your medical and family history will also be taken into consideration. A full clinical examination will then take place, looking at the architecture, walking pattern and mechanical behaviour of your feet. Your current footwear will also be observed. All these factors, together with special and functional tests, will determine a clinical diagnosis. 

After your examination, Greg will discuss your clinical diagnosis and advise you on the best management plan to help with your symptoms, reduce pain and return function. This will all be tailored towards working to your overall goal. 

At Bespoke Physiotherapy, Greg offers a variety of services which include:

• Podiatry musculoskeletal assessment and education
• Orthotic therapy prescription
• Bracing therapy prescription
• Footwear advice
• Pain relief modalities included in routine foot care
• Advice regarding onward referral for shockwave therapy
• Onward referral to an orthopaedic consultant if needed

• Adult acquired flat foot
• Heel pain/heel spurs
• Achilles tendinopathy
• The diabetic foot
• Foot and big toe arthritis
• Bunions and hammer toe
• Metatarsalgia
• Rheumatoid arthritis
