Introduction
When athletes experience foot pain, many assume it’s simply a sprain requiring rest and ice. At M Maddocks Inc, we see countless athletes who’ve tried basic treatments without addressing underlying causes. Whether you’re dealing with persistent heel pain or recurring ankle issues, our comprehensive approach goes beyond temporary relief to restore optimal function and get you back to doing what you love.
Initial Assessment
We combine immediate care with thorough biomechanical assessment using computerised gait analysis and video technology. This advanced diagnostic approach reveals how your feet, legs, and body move during activity, identifying the forces contributing to your injury.
Our comprehensive evaluation includes your training patterns, footwear, and activity surfaces. This detailed assessment helps us understand not just what’s injured, but why it happened.
Custom Orthotics: Sport-Specific Solutions
Many sports injuries stem from biomechanical issues requiring precise correction. Our custom orthotics are designed from detailed pressure mapping and movement analysis, creating sport-specific solutions for your exact needs.
Whether you need support for running shoes, football boots, or court shoes, we create orthotics that work with your athletic demands. We’ve helped runners with plantar fasciitis , addressing underlying movement patterns that caused the original pain and injury.
For athletes with ankle instability, our orthotics improve foot proprioception and reduce compensatory movements that increase injury risk. The precision engineering ensures targeted support exactly where you need it most.
