Running Podiatrist in Glasgow
Running-related foot and lower limb pain can be frustrating when it affects walking, running, shoes or day-to-day confidence. At The Hub Glasgow, the aim is to work out what is actually driving the problem and give you a sensible next step.
What it can feel like

How we assess it
Assessment may include checking the painful area, skin and nails, joint movement, strength, walking pattern, footwear, pressure points and whether gait analysis, diagnostic ultrasound or onward referral would be useful.
Treatment options

Questions people often ask
When should I get running-related foot and lower limb pain checked?
Book an assessment if symptoms are getting worse, changing how you walk, stopping activity, recurring after rest or making normal shoes uncomfortable.
Will I need orthotics or imaging?
Not always. Orthotics, imaging or shockwave are only useful for certain problems. The first job is to identify the likely source of pain and the load or pressure keeping it irritated.
