Podiatry

At Active Health Clinic Glasgow, our podiatry service is here to help you walk, move and feel better from the ground up. Whether you’re experiencing foot or lower limb pain that won’t settle, dealing with common foot concerns like hard skin, corns or ingrown toenails, or simply want professional foot care and advice, our experienced podiatry team will assess your concerns and create a personalised care plan to suit your needs.

Podiatry isn’t just about routine foot maintenance — it also includes specialised musculoskeletal (MSK) podiatry to help address movement‑related pain stemming from the feet, ankles and lower legs, improving comfort during everyday activities or sport.

With tailored treatments, targeted exercise advice and footwear guidance, we aim to reduce pain, improve movement and support your confidence on your feet.

Podiatry (also known as chiropody) is a healthcare discipline focused on the assessment, diagnosis and management of conditions affecting the feet, ankles and lower limbs. Professional podiatrists are trained to identify biomechanical issues, treat foot‑related injuries and provide routine foot care to keep your feet healthy and functioning well.

This includes everything from pain‑related conditions to routine skin and nail treatments — all delivered in a safe, clinical environment.

• Heel pain / plantar fasciitis
• Achilles pain
• Pain from flat feet or high arches
• Sports & activity-related injuries
• General foot and leg aches

If you’re experiencing foot, ankle or leg pain that affects your movement — such as heel pain, Achilles pain, pain linked to foot posture (e.g., flat feet or high arches), or sports‑related discomfort — our MSK podiatry service offers a deeper look into the why behind your symptoms. We assess how your feet and lower body move, identify sources of strain, and develop a personalised plan to help alleviate pain, improve biomechanics and restore functional movement. Common conditions treated include:

• Heel pain / plantar fasciitis
• Achilles tendon discomfort
• Pain from flat feet or high arches
• Sports & activity‑related injuries
• General foot and leg aches after activity or standing

Your treatment plan may include strength and mobility exercises, footwear recommendations, orthotic (insole) advice, taping techniques and hands‑on therapy — all tailored to your goals.
