What do British Marathon Champions Paula Radcliffe, Sir Mo Farah, Lily Partridge, Philip Sesemann, Charlotte Purdue, Alyson Dixon, Natasha Cockram, Rose Harvey, Samantha Harrison and Eilish McColgan all have in common? 👟

They’ve all had a Footscan Biomechanical Assessment 👣

Marathon season is nearly here… and Kettering runners — this is your reminder.

If you’re training for London, Manchester, Milton Keynes, or any Spring marathon, now is the time to check your foundations before the mileage peaks 🏃‍♂️🔥

At Next Step Podiatry – Gait & Motion Clinic in Kettering, our advanced Footscan technology gives a detailed breakdown of how your feet load and function under pressure.

We assess runners across Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, Market Harborough and Northamptonshire who want to train smarter and stay injury-free.

In clinic we identify:

👣 Left vs right loading imbalances
👣 Excessive pronation or supination
👣 Instability during dynamic foot strike
👣 High-pressure zones that often lead to injury

The key? Timing.

The earlier we assess, the more time you have to:

✅ Optimise your training block
✅ Reduce injury risk before peak mileage
✅ Improve comfort in your running shoes
✅ Consider bespoke orthoses if needed

Most running injuries don’t happen suddenly — they build quietly over weeks.

Don’t wait until something starts hurting 3 weeks before race day.

📅 February & March appointments are already filling as marathon training ramps up.

If you’re running 15+ miles regularly, this is your sign.

Prepare properly. Train smarter. Run stronger.

📩 Message us or book your Footscan assessment at our Kettering gait clinic today and get marathon-ready from the ground up

Trying to treat a verruca with over-the-counter acid?

This is something we see regularly in clinic.

Acid-based treatments work by breaking down skin tissue —
but they can’t distinguish between verruca tissue and healthy surrounding skin.

This can lead to:
• Increased discomfort
• Skin maceration
• Larger treatment areas
• Slower healing

At Next Step Podiatry, we use Swift Microwave Therapy to stimulate your immune system to target the underlying viral infection.

No acids.
No dressings.
Minimal downtime.

This patient starts Swift treatment this week.

Follow us to see the results !

Wow - we found ourself in the Northants Telegraph today !

I’m so grateful to the Northants Telegraph for such a kind and thoughtful article.

It was a real pleasure to treat Harry and help him get the results he so desperately needed after such a difficult few years. Seeing the difference treatment can make, not just physically but to confidence and everyday life, is exactly why I love what I do.

Thank you to Harry and his family for trusting me with his care, and thank you again to the Telegraph for sharing his story so sensitively.

Proud to be part of the team at Next Step Podiatry and thankful for the opportunity to make a difference locally.
