MSK & Sports Podiatry
Specialist sports and musculoskeletal podiatry services are delivered in collaboration with MH Sports Podiatry, offering cutting-edge assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of foot, ankle, and lower limb conditions. Founded by Matt Hart, a dual-qualified Sport Podiatrist and Clinical Biomechanist.
Matt provides a modern, patient-centred approach to foot & lower limb health, integrating the latest clinical technologies with personalised care. From the first step through the door, you will experience a level of service & expertise tailored to your specific needs & requirements.
Focussing on outcomes that matter: reduced pain, restored function and improved movement confidence. With services ranging from video gait analysis and custom foot orthoses to sports footwear advice and exercise rehabilitation, MH Sports Podiatry delivers end-to-end solutions that bridge diagnosis and long-term success.
We don’t just treat symptoms, we investigate underlying contributors such as biomechanical dysfunction, training errors, or muscular imbalances. Management plans may include load modification, exercise rehabilitation, gait retraining, footwear advice & the prescription for custom foot orthoses.
Our approach is grounded in evidence-based care, using advanced technology to identify the root cause of your injury & guide targeted treatment and management plans. We commonly treat and manage:
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Ankle sprains & instability
- Flat feet & arch pain
- Forefoot pain (inc. Morton’s Neuroma)
- Hip & lower back issues linked to foot mechanics
- Knee pain (inc. Patellofemoral pain)
- Joint pain & overuse sports injuries
- Paediatric conditions such as Sever’s disease & flat foot development
- Peroneal tendinopathy
- Plantar heel pain (inc. Plantar fasciitis)
- Shin pain (MTSS)
- Tibialis posterior insufficiency
Matt can diagnose, treat and manage a wide range of foot, ankle and lower leg conditions that affect movement, performance and quality of life. Common complaints include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, medial tibial stress syndrome and ankle instability. However, true expertise lies in understanding why these issues develop and how to prevent them from returning.
The approach here is highly individualised, combining hands-on clinical examination with data-driven testing using the latest sports science tools. A clear diagnosis and mechanism of injury is provided, along with an evidence-informed management plan and long-term strategy for prevention. We focus on measurable improvement, whether that’s pain reduction, return to sport or activity, reduced injury risk or better strength symmetry.
All findings are compiled into a clinical summary report, enabling clear communication with referring clinicians and ensuring your management is targeted, measurable & aligned with your goals.
We work with a wide range of lower limb presentations, including:
- Running-related injuries such as medial tibial stress syndrome, Achilles tendinopathy, ITB syndrome, hamstring issues & patellofemoral pain
- Common foot & ankle conditions including plantar fasciitis, Tibialis posterior insufficiency, peroneal tendon overload, ankle instability & sesamoid pain
- Hip & knee pain with a biomechanical origin or due to loading errors
- Hip & lower back issues linked to foot mechanics
- Paediatric conditions such as Sever’s disease, Osgood-Schlatter, & flat foot development
- Post-injury strength deficits & return-to-sport/activity concerns
- Return-to-sport assessments & performance screening following injury
- Sports footwear related issues
Whether you’re running on a pitch, pivoting on a hard court, or walking a bowling green, we assess the way your body moves and create a personalised plan to support recovery and performance—so you can get back to what you love, pain-free.
We take pride in offering care that’s not only professional, but also personal. You’ll be heard, understood, and treated with authenticity, honesty, and a genuine passion for helping you live your best, most active life.
