Foot pain

The treatment options for foot pain can be very diverse. Linda offers lower limb acupuncture and laser therapy which can be very effective. However, in some cases it is necessary to further assess and investigate these pains which can be caused by sport related actions but can also everyday activities such as walking and standing. In many cases the symptoms can be traced back to joints or muscles functioning inappropriately.

Linda works closely with Jayesh Thakrar who runs a Gait Analysis and Lower Limb Biomechanics Clinic, also based at the Harrow Health Care Centre. His clinic, FOOTSCOPE, offers a full video gait analysis, advanced in-shoe pressure assessment, and issues a comprehensive report for each assessment. If indicated orthotics (specialised shoe inserts) are prescribed and issued. These can range from semi-customised to fully customised devices made from plaster casts of the feet.

Jayesh offers complimentary initial consultations to help establish whether his services are right for you. Being in the room next to Linda means he’s usually on hand to provide his professional opinion at no obligation. Jayesh Thakrar BSc (Hons) Pg Dip (Clinc Biomech) MChS HPC trained and worked as a podiatrist at University College London and The London Foot Hospital. He has further training and interest in the field of lower limb biomechanics. In addition to practising with FOOTSCOPE, he is currently involved with undergraduate teaching at the Centre for Clinical Education in Podiatry.
