Our Practice

Helping you with your feet since 2003.

As podiatrist part of our core training is in the biomechanics of how we walk and how to identify problems with this complex activity in order to intervene for patients when necessary and eliminate pain.  We are also experts at materials and prescription of orthoses, it being a core part of our training throughout our professional lives.

We look forward to welcoming you to Coiscéim Foot Clinic and remember to “Love your feet!”
