Treating the cause, not just the sore spot
Most running and sports injuries aren't really about the spot that hurts — they're about load. If your foot rolls in too far, your calf is tight, or your hip control is poor, the tissue that gives way (your plantar fascia, Achilles, shin or knee) is just the weakest link in that chain. Aaron's background is in lower-limb biomechanics and sports rehabilitation, so instead of only treating the symptom he works out why the load landed there — and changes it. That's the difference between an injury that keeps recurring and one that genuinely resolves.
What a biomechanical assessment involves
You'll be assessed standing, walking and — where relevant — running, so we can see how your foot, ankle, knee and hip work together under real load. Aaron checks joint range, muscle strength and control, and uses gait analysis to spot the pattern driving your pain. You leave understanding exactly what's happening and with a plan: that might be strengthening and load management, footwear advice, or custom orthotics prescribed to your feet — not off-the-shelf insoles.
For runners and active people around Shepperton
Whether you're training for a half-marathon along the Thames path, playing weekend football, or just want to keep walking and running pain-free, the approach is the same: find the mechanical cause, address it, and get you back to activity without flaring it up. Aaron sees active patients from Shepperton, Sunbury-on-Thames, Walton-on-Thames, Weybridge and the wider Elmbridge and Spelthorne area.
