Success Stories

 

Your aftercare is top class

 

My situation before was that as I had in the past broken my ankle  and periodically suffered arthritis in it also had knee joint problems all on same leg .and found when I walked my knee hurt so had to bind it up for any longer distances so therefore didn’t really want to walk too far.

 

I didn’t have any worries about orthotics as my brother in law had got some and they helped with his bad knee and he liked to go walking so it was getting him down. So I wondered if they would help me. 

 

I found your website and was impressed so I thought I would come and see you as I had nothing to lose.

I was so impressed by your service and patience after assessing me thoughly I was measured for a pair of insoles and when they arrived it felt so much better to walk that I wondered why it had taken me so long to get some. 

 

Since then I have had the insoles altered and they feel even better and the benefits are able to walk distances without my knee grating without having to wear knee brace and up it now my ankle has not had any bouts of arthritis which is a bonus in itself... So I am very happy with them and your aftercare is top class.

 

I'm delighted I made the decision to get my orthotics

 

What was your situation like before you started?

 

Prior to getting my orthotics, I was becoming less active, as I was experiencing increasing pain and discomfort from a combination of my arthritis and pain in my feet and lower back after only walking short distances. I was also finding it increasingly difficult to find comfortable shoes because of the bunion on my left foot.

 

What fears or worries did you have about making the decision to have Orthotics/ Treament? 

My main concern was that I would go through the process of assessment and fitting, only to find that orthotics would not help and that I would have to resign myself to limiting my range of activity even more. I had tried "off the shelf" orthotics in the past and they were no help at all.

 

What happened between then and now?

Having done my research on the Internet and made the decision to visit your clinic, I have found the whole process simple and painless. Making the initial appointment was easy, I didn't have to wait a long time to be seen and I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly my orthotics were made. It was also very helpful to have such a thorough explanation of my condition, and how having custom made orthotics would help. Following your advice, I was soon able to wear my orthotics all day, and it's been really useful to have the review appointments to monitor my progress.

 

How do you feel and how has your life changed as a result?

Since I have had my orthotics, I have increased my activity, I am able to walk a lot further without pain in my feet and back, and enjoy days out a lot more. Household chores are done much quicker because I don't have to stop to rest as often. My posture and gait has improved which in turn has helped reduce my knee pain. In short, I'm delighted I made the decision to get my orthotics and would advise anyone in a similar situation to do the same.

DENTRON TREAMENT

 

As you can see the fungal infection on the nail has now grownout.

This was achieved using the Dentron machine, in one 90min sitting.

Treatment took place in August and the after photo was taken in oct, once the fungal nail had grown out.

I would certainly recommend Helen to anyone that is having any issues with their running. As I’ve mentioned to Helen, I wish I had seen her sooner!

...I was running on air

 

Just wanted to say a great big thank you to Helen for my new orthotics. I did my first run in them over the weekend and I felt like I was running on air! No more calf strain - you're a genius!

...So you get a big Thank You from me

 

Hi Helen,

Not sure if you remember me. I saw you on your recent visit to Bangor Jobcentre and you gave me  some advice.  Since seeing you I can report I am pain free in my right foot, I still have a little in the left foot, but that appears to be in the actual ankle joint, but that is by no means as painful as it was. So you 
get a big Thank You from me....

 

I have told many friends and family of your simple but very effective advice and told them if they are able, to get in touch with you for a consultation. 

I am certainly going to look into further advice and treatment from your clinic at a future date, (loved my reflexology session). Once more thank you to you and your team. A lot of people walked round with smiles on their faces that day.

If you are suffering from any foot problems I cannot recommend Helen highly enough

 

"Over the past few years I have taken both my children to see Helen. My son had flat feet which was affecting the way he walked.

Not only was Helen able to provide custom made insoles for his feet she was able to analyse his walking and provided him with a set of exercises which corrected his problem.

My daughter had suffered with an ingrowing toe nail on and off for about a year. At times it was extremely painful and infected and despite visits to the doctors with courses of antibiotics it just wouldn't clear up.

It was only when we went to see Helen did it start to get better.

Helen's knowledge and professionalism and kind manner in all things to do with feet is superb. If you are suffering from any foot problems I cannot recommend Helen highly enough." GC
