I'm Tim Veysey-Smith and I am the owner and Sports Podiatrist at Active Podiatry. As a Podiatrist I am passionate about getting you back on your feet as quickly as possible whatever the cause of your foot, ankle or lower limb pain. I have a lifelong passion for running and exploring the great outdoors, no matter what the weather, and have an odd compulsion for steep hills, whether running, hiking or skiing down them!
Everyone who is active will experience muscle and joint pain from time to time, restricting your ability to exercise. Laser therapy involves directing focused laser light energy into inflamed or damaged tissues, supercharging the cells to accelerate the body's natural healing processes. After a full assessment of your condition, we will tailor a treatment protocol for you.
Shockwave Therapy can accelerate the healing process by stimulating your body's natural responses. Three weekly sessions of five minutes each may be all you need for reduction of pain and improved ease of movement. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a highly effective treatment which directs a series of high-energy impulses to the affected area of an injured muscle or tendon using a specialised piece of equipment.
The aim of a running injury assessment is, firstly, to diagnose the injury and, secondly, try to establish what factors may have caused the injury to occur in the first place. Using a combination of history taking, standard assessment tests and specialized equipment enables me to get an accurate diagnosis so I can come up with the best treatment plan to help get you back on your feet.
Follow the B2079 North Road out of the village, following the road as it starts to climb up Summer Hill. As you pass Lower Ladysden Farm on the left hand side, continue up the hill and start looking for our 'Active Podiatry' sign on the right hand side. Turn right into the driveway immediately after the sign.

Went to Tim with a bad case of plantar fasciitis. Did an assessment followed by an exercise programme and 3 weeks later it is much better. Tim knows his stuff and as a runner himself understands the need to get going again pain free. Very professional and approachable. Can’t recommend highly enough.

To whoever might be considering using the services at the Active Podiatry centre in Goudhurst DO IT, don’t endure the pain and discomfort I had for months, Tim was confidently able to confirm I was suffering from Plantar Fasciitis and conducted a short course of treatment combined with a routine to stretch and build strength through certain exercises I can do at home, I couldn’t recommend him and his services enough.
A massive thank you goes to Tim

Tim at Active Podiatry was an incredible help when I suffered a late onset injury just before London Marathon. His knowledge, skills of diagnosis and treatment were exceptional. Through his encouragement, positivity and treatment alongside the exercises he advised, I was not only able to run the marathon but am pain free post race too! A great result all round and I would thoroughly recommend Active Podiatry.

I suffered swelling and pain in the ball of my foot which was affecting my normal activities of walking and cycling. After a diagnosis following a very thorough examination including an ultrasound scan, Tim recommended three sessions of laser therapy over three weeks. I experienced a gradual improvement following each of those sessions and now have no pain and very little swelling. I would certainly recommend Active Podiatry.

Having suffered with an Achilles strain which was effecting my ability to undertake sport and general activities, I decided to get professional help. After a recommendation, I booked an appointment with Tim at Active Podiatry.
At my first appointment, Tim undertook a full assessment of my injury including an ultrasound scan. He quickly determined the issues effecting my Achilles. An action plan was agreed which involved laser treatment plus an exercise programme.
Tim was helpful and friendly throughout the process. Booking appointments was easy with email reminders.

Over lockdown I developed inflammation in my right foot that was making moving around very unpleasant.Tim assessed the problem, and with a course of laser treatment followed by targeted exercises life is far more comfortable. With a plan to keep this particular problem at bay I’m very satisfied but wouldn’t hesitate to return for his help if I suffer any other foot ailments. A very professional service.My thanks Tim.

I went to Tim for treatment on an ingrown toe-nail. Tim gave a knowledgeable and unhurried consultation and presented plenty of options for me to consider. The procedure was performed efficiently and assuredly and was exactly as described in the initial consult (and included a follow up consultation). Tim was very friendly and supportive throughout, insisting that I get in contact with him at any time should I have any questions about my options or, after the procedure, about the healing process. In short, the procedure has been a complete success, I was well looked after throughout, and I would

Tim has been brilliantly helpful as he's rectified a number of issues with my feet/hips which had been creating real problems with my running. I'd been slow to recover from a half marathon but under Tim's guidance I've been able to make significant progress. He quickly and carefully diagnosed the problems and then provided excellent advice for treatment and recovery. I've particularly appreciated how thorough, knowledgeable and reassuring he is in explaining the issues and then in the next steps to take. Thanks, Tim!
