What to Expect at a Sports Podiatry Appointment
Your podiatrist will ask about your symptoms, training, previous injuries and goals, then assess your feet and lower limbs. Please bring your sports shoes and everyday shoes, shorts, any current orthotics or braces, and any scans or reports. If you use a training app, a summary of your recent training can help.
We discuss the assessment findings and options suited to your circumstances. These may include activity advice, exercises, footwear changes or orthotics where appropriate. Further investigations or referral may be recommended when needed. Recovery and return-to-sport plans vary; improved performance or a particular recovery date cannot be guaranteed.
