Why people travel for it

What you get that a general foot appointment does not include

The foot examined under load, not at rest

A foot at rest tells you very little. We watch what happens when you put your weight through it and when you walk, on video where running is the issue, because that is what explains recurring pain.

A running specialist for running injuries

Gareth has trained and competed in track, road and cross country for thirty five years, has run internationally and still races. The conversation about why the same calf goes every autumn is one he can have from both sides.

Orthotics with a year of follow ups included

The 480 pound package covers the assessment, the orthotics, the fitting and twelve months of follow up checks, so a tweak after a month of wearing them does not cost another appointment.

Diabetic foot care from an NHS wound care background

Seventeen years in the NHS specialising in diabetes and wound care, which is exactly the experience routine foot care benefits from when sensation is reduced.

How it works

Booking from Godalming

Pick the right appointment

If the problem is nails, hard skin or routine care, that is chiropody. If your foot, ankle or knee hurts when you load it, book the podiatry consultation with gait analysis. Ring reception if you would rather describe it first, and they will book you with the right clinician.

Come to The Edge, Woolmer Hill

About fifteen minutes from Godalming via the A3, first exit after the Hindhead Tunnel. Free parking on site, ground floor, step free throughout.

Leave knowing what is causing it

The initial consultation includes gait analysis. By the end you will know what is driving the problem and what the options are, including the option of doing very little.

Questions

What Godalming patients ask us

The things worth knowing before you make the trip.

Where is the nearest podiatrist to Godalming?
Healthflex is at The Edge on Woolmer Hill in Haslemere, about fifteen minutes from Godalming by car via the A3, or around half an hour on the back roads, with free parking on site. Godalming and Haslemere are also on the same railway line, which helps if a painful foot makes driving awkward.
What is the difference between a podiatrist and a chiropodist?
They are two different disciplines, although closely linked. Chiropody is the care of the foot itself, meaning nails, hard skin, corns, callus and verrucae. Podiatry looks at the mechanics, meaning how the foot moves and meets the ground. The training is the same, so our clinicians can do both, and reception will help you book the right appointment for what you need.
What does the first appointment cost?
An initial podiatry consultation, a biomechanical assessment including foot and gait analysis, is 90 pounds. Custom orthotics are 480 pounds as a package covering the assessment, the orthotics, the fitting and twelve months of follow up checks. A chiropody appointment is 50 pounds.
Do you do diabetic foot checks?
Yes, and our chiropodist spent seventeen years in the NHS specialising in diabetes and wound care. NHS guidance recommends at least an annual foot check for everyone with diabetes, more often if your risk has been assessed as raised, because reduced sensation means a small problem can progress before it hurts.
Will I be told I need orthotics?
Only if you do. Plenty of foot pain settles with a change of footwear, a specific strength programme or an off the shelf insole, and the gait analysis tells us which situation applies to you. Custom orthotics are recommended when your mechanics genuinely need them, not as a default.
