At MH Sports Podiatry, we deliver a modern, patient-centred approach to foot & lower-limb health, combining advanced clinical technology with highly personalised care. From your first appointment, assessments are tailored to your individual needs, ensuring a clear understanding of your movement, symptoms & goals. Our focus is on providing clarity, confidence & evidence-based solutions rather than one-size-fits-all treatment.

We work with a broad spectrum of individuals, from elite & youth athletes to active individuals of all ages, across a wide range of sports. While we have particular expertise in running, athletics & football, our experience extends to many sporting & fitness disciplines. This allows us to understand sport-specific demands & apply appropriate strategies to reduce injury risk, enhance performance & support long-term participation.

Our care is centred on outcomes that matter: reducing pain, restoring function & improving confidence in movement. Through services including Run 3D Gait Analysis, VALD strength testing, custom foot orthoses, sports footwear guidance & exercise rehabilitation, MH Sports Podiatry provides end-to-end solutions that bridge accurate diagnosis with sustainable, long-term success.

Interesting article on injury rates in English Premier League.

The Premier League currently has 196 injuries recorded in just over three months, with Newcastle and Manchester United suffering more than most - so why this many?

Achille Tendinopathy

Is one of the most common injuries in sport and exercise, especially in athletes engaged in long term, continuous and high intensity training and competition.

Achilles tendinopathy is degerative and caused by the interaction of internal and external factors.

Lifetime incidence of Achilles tedninopathy in elite runners was more than 50% with Ames et al (2008) reporting Achilles tendinopathy in runners was 10 x higher than that of inactive population.

Incidence in Basketball was 7.7% (Florit et al, 2019). Incidence in male professional football was 11.6% (Gajhede-
Knudsen et al, 2013)
