Welcome to sportspodiatry.co.uk

Sports podiatry .co.uk is a portal developed by Paul G Johnson, Sports Podiatrist and is designed to provide an athlete with the tools needed to quickly return to sport after a lower limb injury. Paul specialises in treating injuries to the upper leg, knee lower leg, ankle and foot using the latest gait analysis techniques, orthotics, rehab and footwear advice.

Foot Injuries

Foot injuries are common when partaking in sport.

Ankle Injuries

One of the most common injuries to affect an athlete is a sprained ankle.

Knee Injuries

Poor biomechanics can cause many types of injuries to the knee.

Leg Injuries

Whether its shin splints, or ITB, calf or hamstring injury, many are caused by poor mechanics.

What is sports podiatry?

Sports podiatry is the treatment of foot, ankle, knee and leg injuries by altering lower limb function using a variety of methods, including orthotic insoles, footwear and exercises.

Sports podiatry clinics

We have clinics in Manchester and Huddersfield. Sheffield.

Biomechanics Explained

The biomechanics of running can be somewhat confusing to the athlete. At sports podiatry .co.uk we have provided an in depth explanation with accompanying videos.

The sports podiatrist

Paul has extensive experience working within the field of musculoskeletal podiatry both in the NHS and private practice.

“I took my son to see Paul after he was reommended by a family friend. My boy who is a keen footballer was complaining of pain in both his heels. Paul quickly diagnosed the problem and with some exercises and insoles, my son was pain free and playing again in 3 weeks.”

Jan (concerned mum)

“I can’t count how many podiatrists I have consulted over the past 30 years. When my Physio suggested I should see Paul I was initially sceptical. I’ve now been treated by Paul for almost two years and have regained movement in my foot and am pain-free when I run. To be able to complete a marathon this year when an orthopaedic surgeon had said ‘you’ll never run a marathon’ was thanks to Paul.”

Georgina (keen club runner)

“For many years I have suffered from a severe ankle problem. Having previously sought private medical assistance when I was informed that I would need a triple fusion, I decided to bear the ongoing pain and suffering rather than undergo such drastic surgery. This I have done for many years. I was recently referred to Paul by my sports injury physiotherapist and whilst I did not hold any great expectation I must say that the improvement in my ankle condition has been beyond anything I could have expected. I would highly recommend Paul for his knowledge skill and expertise.”

Rob (ex professional ice hockey player)

“Following regular sessions with Paul over the past year, I am now able to run without ankle pain for the first time in 5 years. Paul brings a combination of treatments I was unable to find elsewhere: manufacture and adjustment of customised orthoses together with ongoing physiotherapy to ensure the orthoses work in harmony with the mechanical aspects of the treatment. All too often I had found these aspects of treatment had been provided by separate practitioners rather than the invaluable combination of both that Paul manages to bring.”

Jim (frustrated runner)

“I would like to compliment yourself on the detailed diagnosis I received and the significant improvement in my feet, legs and back due to the orthotics you prescribed. I have suffered many problems in the past five or six years with my bio mechanics and the effect these new orthotics has had has, to a point, changed my life. Walking, running and the gym, is now a pleasure again. Thank you very much and I would have no hesitation in recommending your practice to others.”
