What do we do that is a bit different?
We see lots of people in pain who have had treatment and investigations and not getting better, our approach is different.
We see situations that do not fit the normal presentation. We will take time to discuss your situation. This means we will fully understand the issues you have and work with you to find the best way to address them.
We treat you and not just your symptoms. Symptoms are where the body has broken down, it is often not where the real issue. We will work with you to find the true cause and work with you to address this.
Experienced staff
We experienced staff that have specialist areas of interest. We have experience of working with both professional and recreational sports people across a variety of sports. You don’t have to be sporty to come to our clinics, our aim is to keep you moving and enjoying your activities, whatever you choose to participate in.
Our staff undertake regular training sessions and are always looking to improve their knowledge so they can offer you the best treatments. If we feel that you would benefit from something that we do not offer we will try to help you access those services.
Our admin staff are very knowledgable and will aim to get you sorted with the correct assessment. One of our therapists will also be available to discuss with you which appointment we feel would be most suitable.
Clinic systems
Online bookings
At Colpod we aim to be as paperless as possible and use a recognised clinic management system. All your data is held securely in the cloud. We have online bookings available for some of our services, others we will need to speak to you first. For all bookings you will receive an email confirmation with all the details you need for your appointment.
Reports
We are able to produce a report for you regarding your assessment and treatment plan if you like. Just ask your clinician.
Insurance
Some of our clinicians are registered with a variety of health insurance companies. We can provide information for you to be able to claim back what your plan entitles you to.
We treat you and the way you move
“We find and treat the root cause of pain, helping patients move better, stay active, and get their life back.”
You are an individual and why you get your pain is likely to be different to the next person. Assessment is key to allow us to customise your treatment to you, your symptoms and the way you move.
Technology
Footscan pressure mat
We use a Footscan pressure / force plate to look at how you move over your feet and how much load you put on each foot. We can see the timing of foot contact and how your body moves over your foot.
3D scanning of feet / impressions
We use laser scanners to capture your feet when we are prescribing custom orthoses. This means we are capturing your true foot shape and position and so should make for a more truly custom fit.
Baiobit functional assessments
In our patients gait and movement analysis, we incorporate baiobit for functional assessments. This tool enables us to capture joint ranges and positions during movement, covering areas like the neck, shoulder, spine, and pelvis. It helps us gather data on gait parameters, jump power, and other relevant metrics. These screening protocols play a crucial role in directing patient treatment, aiding in rehabilitation, and designing personalised exercise routines.
Video Gait Analysis
At Colpod we use 2D video as a stand alone or with the pressure scan to see how you are moving. The frame-by-frame replay allows us to see, in fine detail, any areas that we feel are causing concern. This is invaluable when we are working with you to change movement patterns. See our blog for more details
Ultrasound
The use of ultrasound allows us to look inside your feet. We can assess the amount of damage to your plantar fascia or tendons, if there is a neuroma or bursa. This provides great information to allow us to see what stage of injury you are at and can play a big role in planning your treatment and giving you different treatment options. We also use this for guiding our injection therapies.
We offer a range of services from different clinicians to address your requirements. Please contact us if you want to discuss which service would be best for you.
