Prevention, diagnosis and treatment of injuries to help you practise sport with greater safety, comfort and confidence.
How foot strike affects sport
Every athlete has a unique way of moving. Foot strike, technique and biomechanics determine how loads are distributed with every step.
Many sports-related discomforts do not arise from a single movement, but rather from small adaptations that the body repeatedly makes over time.
Biomechanics
We analyse movement from its foundation.
Impact
Every foot strike generates forces that affect the entire body.
Repetitive load
Small alterations can become major discomforts.
Compensations
Incorrect support overloads the body and increases the risk of injury.
Most common injuries and discomforts
During sports practice, the foot withstands impacts and repetitive loads that can contribute to the appearance of discomfort or injuries.
Plantar fasciitis
Heel pain that appears while running or after physical activity.
Muscle Overuse Injuries
Muscle or joint discomfort caused by excessive training loads.
Blisters and Calluses
Friction-related skin problems that can affect sports performance.
Joint Pain
An abnormal foot function can contribute to pain in the knees, hips and back.
Achilles Tendinopathy
Inflammation of the Achilles tendon caused by repetitive overload.
Shin Splints
Inflammation of the tissue surrounding the tibia due to repetitive stress.
What do we do?
Comprehensive Assessment and Personalised Solutions.
Biomechanical Assessment
We analyse how your feet function during movement and identify factors related to overuse, compensations and lack of stability.
Sports Injury Prevention
We identify biomechanical risk factors to help you train and compete with greater confidence and fewer injuries.
Footwear Recommendations
We advise you on the most suitable footwear for your foot type and activity to improve performance and protect your joints.
Custom Orthotics
Individually designed using high-quality materials to match your foot function and sporting activity, helping improve performance, reduce discomfort and overload, and provide greater comfort with every step.
Who Can Benefit?
Preparing for a recreational race, training several times a week or simply staying active are not the same. Every athlete has different needs and goals, which is why assessments and recommendations should be tailored to each situation.
Running
Trail running
Football
Padel / Tennis
Hiking
Basketball
Active individuals
Prevention and performance
A thorough assessment and the right treatment plan help you train more effectively, with less discomfort and greater confidence.
Improved Efficiency
We analyse how loads are distributed during movement to promote a more efficient and comfortable biomechanics during sports practice.
Injury Prevention
Identifying certain biomechanical factors may help reduce the risk of discomfort associated with repetitive movements and the specific demands of sport.
Stability and Balance
Proper foot support contributes to improving movement control and the ability to adapt to different surfaces and sporting situations.
Tailored to Every Athlete
Every athlete has different needs. Therefore, recommendations and treatments are adapted to their activity, goals and level of demand.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Anyone who participates in physical activity can benefit from sports podiatry. Running, walking, going to the gym or playing football all place demands on the feet.
It may be advisable if you experience recurrent discomfort during sports practice, have suffered repeated injuries, notice changes in the way you run, or simply want to understand how your foot strike influences movement in order to prevent future discomfort.
Even without pain, a biomechanical assessment can identify abnormalities that may lead to injuries over time.
In addition to treating injuries, sports podiatry focuses on injury prevention, performance improvement and optimising movement patterns across all sports.
Activities such as cycling, padel, tennis, crossfit, hiking and gym training also place repetitive stress on the feet and ankles.
Every foot is unique. Orthotics should be 100% customised according to the sport, training frequency, footwear and individual biomechanics.
It depends on the type of physical activity, how frequently they are used and each person’s individual progression. For regular athletes, periodic reviews are generally recommended to assess their condition, determine whether they remain appropriate and make any necessary adjustments.
Poor foot function can contribute to problems in the knees, hips and back. Sports podiatry takes a whole-body approach because everything is connected.
Occasional physical activity, especially without gradual adaptation, can increase the risk of overload injuries, particularly when biomechanical abnormalities are present.
During growth and development, monitoring foot function is essential to help prevent future problems and support healthy movement patterns.
Do you experience discomfort while running?
If you have been training with discomfort for some time or want to prevent future injuries, a biomechanical assessment can help you understand how your foot strike influences movement and which strategies may improve your comfort and performance.
