Services
Sports Podiatry
Sports Podiatry at From The Feet Up assesses and treats musculoskeletal injuries in the lower body. Our specialists use hands-on therapies and gait analysis to identify root causes of pain. We create custom rehabilitation plans combining manual therapy, dry needling, and strength training to restore function and prevent recurrence. This service caters to athletes from weekend warriors to professionals, focusing on rapid return to sport with improved biomechanics.
Orthotics
Our orthotics service provides hand-built custom foot insoles tailored to individual biomechanics. Using gait analysis and footwear assessment, we address movement limitations and pain. Modifications to footwear and bespoke insole design help redistribute pressure and improve alignment. This service combines manual therapies with structural support to enhance mobility and reduce compensatory strain across the kinetic chain.
Movement as Medicine
Movement as Medicine focuses on injury prevention and athletic performance enhancement. Through biomechanical screening and kinematic analysis, we develop custom exercise programs. This service integrates strength training, neuromuscular re-education, and sport-specific drills to improve efficiency and durability. Ideal for athletes aged 12+ seeking to optimise performance while minimising injury risk through functional movement patterns.
Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization
Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) utilises developmental kinesiology principles to improve posture and movement control. By analysing ideal infantile movement patterns, we retrain stabilisation strategies in adults. This service addresses chronic pain and dysfunction by restoring optimal neuromuscular coordination. Combined with podiatric care, DNS enhances joint centration and reduces compensatory stresses throughout the body.
Lower Body Biomechanics
Our Lower Body Biomechanics service conducts comprehensive assessments of movement patterns affecting feet, knees, hips, and the spine. Using advanced gait analysis and joint palpation, we identify compensatory mechanisms causing pain. Treatment combines manual therapy, footwear modification, and targeted exercises to restore efficient movement. This service addresses conditions from plantar fasciitis to hip degeneration through whole-body biomechanical correction.
