At Total Care Podiatry we have a passion for hiking, we understand the unique challenges hikers face when it comes to foot health. The demands of rugged terrain, long distances, and varied weather conditions can take a toll on your feet. That’s why it’s crucial to choose footwear designed for the trail, providing adequate support, cushioning, and protection. A proper fit, breathable materials, and moisture-wicking socks are essential to prevent blisters, calluses, and other common hiking-related injuries.
In addition to offering expert advice on choosing the best hiking boots, we also have a special interest in addressing conditions like plantar fasciitis, heel pain, and arch issues that often affect avid hikers. Whether you’re preparing for a weekend trek or tackling multi-day expeditions, our goal is to keep you on the trail, pain-free with personalised foot care strategies. We help ensure your feet are as adventure-ready as the rest of you. Let’s keep exploring together

Studies have indicated up to the 12% of the population will suffer from heel pain throughout their lives. The causes of heel pain can be plantar fasciitis, heel spur, bursitis, fat pad contusion, plantar fascial tear, tendinopathy, stress fracture or nerve compression. A thorough assessment by one of our team will determine which is causing your heel pain then design a program to achieve comfort and pain relief. Treatment for heel pain may include, taping, gait retraining, shock wave therapy, laser therapy, low dye taping and orthotics. Our job is to work out which is the best for you. Our Podiatrist will use evidence based practice and over 30 years of treating heel pain experience to help you achieve your goals.

Total Care Podiatry can Computer aid design and Computer aid Mill (Cad Cam) Foot Orthotics on site. This process requires a thorough biomechanical assessment in our gait lab and 3D scan using our state of the art technology. Our Podiatrists will then design your new orthosis, mill the devices, finish machining by hand and make an appointment to fit them to your shoes. This process can take 5-10 days from scanning.
