Comprehensive Foot Assessments
At Penelope Leslie’s practice, a thorough assessment of your feet is a priority. This includes evaluating the structure and function of your feet to detect any abnormalities or concerns. Penelope uses state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to accurately diagnose issues, which allows for early intervention and prevention of future complications.

Biomechanical Analysis
Understanding how the feet interact with the rest of the body is vital. Penelope uses biomechanical assessments to examine your gait and posture. This helps to determine if improper walking patterns are contributing to pain or discomfort in other areas of the body, such as the knees, hips, or back. With this analysis, personalised treatment plans are developed to improve movement and reduce strain on your joints.

Penelope offers a wide range of treatments for common foot conditions, including corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, and plantar fasciitis. Whether it’s providing relief from pain or preventing further damage, Penelope's treatments are designed to help you regain comfort and mobility.
