Using a combination of techniques, including orthotic insoles, specialised footwear, and exercise therapy, he works to restore function and alleviate pain.

Orthotics and Footwear Advice

Ridwaan offers expert guidance on choosing the right orthotic insoles and footwear to support and improve lower limb function. Custom orthotics can relieve pain caused by conditions such as flat feet, plantar fasciitis, or misalignments. By recommending the most suitable shoes and insoles, Ridwaan ensures that his patients’ feet are well-supported, whether they’re running, walking, or standing for long periods.

Exercise Therapy and Rehabilitation

To complement orthotics, Ridwaan incorporates exercise therapy into his rehabilitation programs. This therapy helps patients rebuild strength, flexibility, and balance in the affected limbs. Whether recovering from a sports injury or managing chronic pain, patients benefit from a tailored exercise plan that promotes healing and reduces future risks. Rehabilitation aims to restore function, allowing patients to return to their active lives with confidence.

General Foot Care

Beyond sports injuries, Ridwaan offers general foot care for common issues like corns, calluses, fungal infections, and ingrown toenails. Regular foot check-ups help prevent complications, especially for those with conditions like diabetes.
