The Crucial Role of the Biomechanics Assessment: Unveiling the Secrets of Your Movement Patterns. Is It Always Necessary?

While not everyone may need a biomechanics assessment, it can be a valuable tool for those seeking a deeper understanding of their body’s mechanics, addressing existing issues, or optimising performance. Whether you are an athlete aiming for peak performance, someone managing chronic pain, or simply curious about your body movement patterns, a biomechanics assessment can unveil insights that contribute to a healthier and more active lifestyle. Remember, knowledge is power, and understanding your biomechanics opens the door to informed decisions about your physical well-being.

What is therapeutic laser? And how does it work? 

What is therapeutic laser? And how does it work? Therapeutic laser uses the power of light to reduce pain, inflammation and swelling as well as to encourage your body’s own healing mechanisms. 
It’s great for treating a huge range of problems including tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, bursitis, muscle tears and injuries. Laser can be used on both chronic (long term) and acute (recent) conditions. 

Achilles tendinopathy

Achilles tendinopathy. The Achilles tendon is the thickest in the human body and is located at the back of the lower leg, close to the heel bone. It attaches the calf and Soleus muscles to the heel bone.

I booked in with Quantum Footcare to get a consultation and treatment for some calluses and hard skin that were starting to cause issues. When I arrived, the clinic was really easy to find and I was made to feel very at ease and welcome.The clinic was clean, light and comfortable. The consultation was very thorough. Annia started by checking over my feet, pin pointing any areas of concern as well as listening at my heartbeat through pulse points on my feet. By the end of the appointment my feet felt so smooth and pain free.I was given a treatment plan to take away with me which listed what...

I have been seeing Annia for about 10 years.

Annia is not only a highly qualified podiatrist – dealing with the  mechanics and ailments of the foot and lower leg – but she has a wealth of experience in making your feet feel comfortable and look so much better.

I have nothing wrong with my feet anymore – but am looking forward to seeing Annia just for some maintenance…

I would not trust my feet to anyone else!

Stuart Heaney

Annia is the best, works to find a time that suits you, goes the extra mile to make sure your feet are in top shape.

Estelle

I’ve known Annia a very long time, she is absolutely superb.

She is fastidious about podiatry and talks passionately about it – portraying a wonderful interest of it.

Annia is a true professional and a credit to her profession.

Sara Nattie

I received amazing care and service from Annia at Quantum Footcare. This was my first visit to Annia. I was made very welcome in her beautiful, clean and spacious clinic, which felt calm and professional. Although my main issues were toe nails and corns / hard skin, Annia quickly built rapport with me and uncovered that I have some pain as well as a suspicious lesion. After she had taken care of my main problems, she carefully examined the other aspects of my feet and gave me a full plan.The next morning she had written to my GP and asked them to consider further investigations.This visit...

I have been coming here since February. I have been treated be several different podiatrists but Annia is the best podiatrist I have been to. She understands all my footcare issues and has solved a lot of them! She never rushes and always takes time to explain my treatment. When I leave I always feel I am walking on air.

Rosie Waite-Fenn

My husband, Keith, and I had our initial consultations for podiatry with Annia yesterday. What an absolutely wonderful experience! Annia is so professional in her approach to her clients, her work ethic is exemplary and the whole experience is an absolute joy. We have booked our next appointments and wouldn’t go anywhere else. You really couldn’t be in safer hands.

Amanda Ellwood

I can highly recommend Annia at Quantum Footcare for her professionalism and attention to detail. I had an initial consultation and completed a prescreening questionnaire prior to my visit. Ania spent time carefully examining my feet, checking blood flow and sensation. She also recommended an x-ray for a problematic toe, and sent a referral letter to my GP. I was given lots of advice and a treatment plan and came away feeling my feet had had a thorough MOT, much more so than any other podiatrists I have seen in the past. Thank you Annia, I look forward to my follow up!

“I have known Annia since 2000. She is someone who is genuine with good moral values and I have the greatest respect for her.

She is kind, caring and very attentive to her clients. Her professionalism is second to none. Her work ethic is exemplary.

Annia is extremely knowledgeable in her field of work. You couldn’t be in safer hands”

Maureen Walsh

“After having my first treatment with Annia, who recommended a brand of trainers for me, I’ve never stopped walking.

At the age of 82 I am delighted and have rebooked an appointment. She even tested my circulation. Bless Annia”

Samantha Lester

The best foot care I have ever had. Took my 80 year old mum too and she said she felt like she had new feet at the end of her treatment. I would very much recommend for everyone!

Annette Walker

I highly recommend Quantum Footcare, I’ve had three visits and can honestly say that my feet have never been in such good condition. Annia is very knowledgeable and passionate about all aspects of her work as well as being a lovely friendly person.

Roy Castañeda

Having had an ongoing problem for 10+ years, a course of shock wave and laser therapy as well as bespoke orthotics seem to have resolved my issues. Very impressed with results so far - would recommend!

Sarah Lopian

Annia is amazing- she is caring and professional, taking time to ensure that you are left satisfied. I highly recommend her!

Simon Passmore

I was unable to put any pressure on one side of my foot for weeks, went for one appointment with Annia & walked out with no pain whatsoever. Informative, helpful, friendly, welcoming, highly recommended!

Helen Roberts

“I booked in with Annia to have my toe nails trimmed and calluses removed but walked out with brand new feet!

She also checked the health of my feet and removed 2 corns I didn’t know I had. The whole treatment was relaxing from start to finish and she paid such attention to detail, even removing the unsightly hard skin around the nails.

My feet haven’t looked or felt this fabulous in decades. I can highly recommend Annia’s podiatry to anyone”

Adam Smith

I have been visiting Annia for the past two years (before she founded Quantum). I always leave feeling extremely satisfied with the service provided. Furthermore, she is a lovely person and I would strongly recommend

Patricia Bramwell

Perfection and professional – That’s Quantum Footcare salon.

It’s like walking into a spa experience. I walked in with sore ingrowing toe nails and walked out on air.

Plus Annia gave me some exercises to do at home to help relieve my swollen ankles – her professionalism is superb.

Salon so easy to find and Car parking space at the front door.

Will be my regular foot care salon from now on.
