Nearly half of people aged over 50 complain of ongoing foot and ankle pain, the majority of which impacts on daily activities. In all adults between 20-40% have had some type of foot pain in the last month. Nearly 75% of these cases will be musculoskeletal pain as a result of muscle strains, ligament injuries, tendon degeneration and arthritis. Foot pains and dysfunction often co-exist with other lower limb and back pains.

Musculoskeletal (MSK) Podiatrists are able to identify the cause and origins of lower limb dysfunction to resolve a multitude of conditions that can make walking, running and standing an unpleasant experience. Conditions such as Achilles Tendinopathy, plantarfasciitis, metatarsalgia, arch strains, tibialis posterior dysfunction, bunion pain, foot arthritis, shin splints, patellofemoral and other knee pains are all conditions regularly managed by MSK podiatrists.

Leeds Podiatry Clinic is the oldest established podiatry practice specializing in musculoskeletal podiatry and lower limb biomechanics in Yorkshire. We offer some of the most advanced biomechanical data gathering technologies in a private establishment in Yorkshire as well as having some of the most experienced clinical gait analysts in the country. We are proud of our service and promise to always offer the most appropriate treatment to resolve your symptoms as quick and as effectively as we can. Leeds Podiatry Clinic has provided the people of Leeds with a specialist service for over a decade. Whether your foot problem is a result of sport, a rheumatology disease, or just a life of high mileage, from your fist step to last marathon, we are here to help.
To offer the complete service we work extensively with the best clinicians, surgeons, therapists and trainer retailers in the county. We have developed this link of multidisciplinary services to help benefit and improve our patient care.

HISTORY
Leeds Podiatry Clinic was established in 1999 by Andrew M Horwood, who noticed that the conservative management of musculoskeletal disease and injury of the foot and ankle was not as well catered for, as it should be. Andrew remains clinical lead at Podiatry Clinics as well as holding a senior position for Healthystep (sensograph) Ltd, one of Britain’s leading suppliers of modular foot orthoses. Andrew is a Clinical Adviser (biomechanics and rehabilitation) to Bailey Instruments. He is an Honorary Visiting Fellow of Staffordshire University.
