Organisation Details

The Podiatric Biomechanics service is part of the Foot Health Services. They check how patients walk, stand and use their feet and legs to help with any problems patients may be having.

We provide biomechanical assessments of the lower limb and treatments of a mechanical and physical nature. The service is offered to patients 4 + years of age who have a lower limb pathology related to their foot function, structure and gait.

Current Pathway:

• Triage of all referrals to ensure that patients are seen at the right time and place with onward referral of patients who do not fit the inclusion criteria
• Clinical assessment appointments to assess, diagnose and initiate the appropriate treatment plans
• Clinical assessments will be undertaken either face to face or using Attend Anywhere video facility
• Treatment plans include the provision of prescribe foot and ankle orthosis, rehabilitation exercise programmes and patient education
• Patient education is fundamental to our patient management to improve outcomes by way of understanding their diagnosis, promoting self help and thereby improving compliance and hence outcomes.
• Follow up and review appointments can be face to face, telephone or Attend Anywhere video consultations

Patients can buy extra pairs of prescribed orthotics (inserts for shoes to help with some feet and leg problems).

Service available at:

• St James Clinic, Extons Road, Kings Lynn, PE30 5NU
