Treatment options

Over the past 15 years we have been developing a holistic approach to foot and leg pain with techniques and custom prescription tailored to each individual's needs.

Our treatment specialties are as follows;

Orthotic Therapy

We use digital treadmill gait analysis, running analysis for biomechanical evaluation and use the latest 3D scanning equipment to capture the foot in its purest form.

Our custom made orthoses are flexible and extremely comfortable. No two pairs are the same; we tailor the orthoses individually to suit each patient's needs.

Whether it be for sport or for everyday use we have the right fit for everyone.

Active Release Techniques (ART)

ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves.

Headaches, back pain, Hip pain, shin splints, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and general foot pain are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART

Joint mobilisation therapy (JMT)

Joint mobilisation therapy (JMT) is a podiatry based approach to free joint restrictions and improve the range of motion of the feet, knees and hips.

JMT uses gentle, controlled movements, to position joints back into their natural alignment by taking your feet through their normal, natural range of motion which restores function and eliminates pain.

By using JMT techniques, your practitioner will provide a tailored muscle strengthening and rehabilitation program which will provide increased support to the joints in your feet and legs. This will achieve long term results and allow you to enjoy pain free feet and legs!

Exercise Therapy

Exercise rehabilitation plays an important role in addressing muscle imbalance, injury prevention and rehabilitation.

We have found that these imbalances may be addressed using simple exercise routines that target the imbalances and allow the patient to function optimally.

Our tailored programs provide each patient with a clear plan so that all patients may control their own rehabilitation.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Soft tissue therapy is important in relieving conditions that involve muscle adhesions, muscle soreness in areas under increased pressure and sports overuse injuries.

We provide trigger point therapy, massage and acupuncture depending on the specific condition presented.

Core Stability Programs

Core stability plays a major role in controlling foot pronation and is often left untreated until adulthood. We provide management plans for stability programs to strengthen the core and help prevent injury.

Stretching Programs

We provide extensive stretch training for injury prevention and sport preparation. At Better Health we teach you how to perform each stretch and supervise your first efforts. We also provide detailed photos for you to follow at home.
