I have been a practising podiatrist for over 15 years since I graduated from the Northampton School of Podiatry back in 2004 with a 1st class Bachelor of Science degree. I started my career in my hometown of Wolverhampton and developed well rounded skills in all aspects of foot care; chiropody & minor surgeries ie nails surgery and verrucae treatments.
Simon has provided excellent support for my feet and ankles to the point where I am free to do what I want and my situation is manageable. The Skype consultation has been extremely effective and I would recommend this method @Sole function podiatry to anyone seeking assistance with lower limb issues that they are struggling to overcome them.
Gait analysis is a useful method for identifying underlying abnormalities in the gait cycle, it is a valuable tool used to assess the way in which you walk, run & move. At Wells clinic I offer video analysis for runners and athletes of all levels keen to learn more about their running and movement patterns.
Fascial manipulation is a specialised form of treatment of the body that can help relieve musculoskeletal aches, pains and stiffness inhibiting movement and preventing you from enjoying sports & activities. Fascia is a connective tissue present throughout the entire body; it is found beneath the skin, lying on top of muscle, is connected to muscle, is connected to bones and nerves run through it.
I provide routine foot care to alleviate painful nails where nail deformities are present, and debridement of callous and corns; that are pressure areas which develop due to increased load from the ground caused by your individual biomechanics, and also stress from incorrectly fitting footwear which cause pain and discomfort when walking.

I really recommend simon He is so welcoming and makes you feel at ease when you meet him. I went to see him as I was having problems with my flat feet and he gave me some very useful exercises for me to do at home and some 3D printed insoles, which are amazing as they are the first insole that I wore that caused me no pain at the beginning. Most importantly I didn’t need to gradually wear them in they suited my feet from the start, I wish I went to him sooner as I went and got shop bought insoles which provided no support at all.

I came to Simon after suffering a running injury to my ankle. Simon was very knowledgeable in his diagnosis and was able to recommend the appropriate treatment and rehab required to get back to full strength. I highly recommend Simon to anyone who has suffered the misfotune of a sporting injury like myself.

I had an excellent experience with Simon who diagnosed the issue with my ankle during our session. He suggested a range of treatments and assisted me to get the most suitable through the NHS. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone with issues in their feet or ankles as his breadth of knowledge and experience make him an ideal expert to consult.

I was recommended to Simon by a friend when unable to get an appointment with NHS podiatry, due to unavailability of appointments. I am a diabetic with foot drop and wear a foot/leg brace to stop tripping
On my first appointment he not only treated my feet, he recommended more suitable footwear and evaluated the brace helping me choose a more appropriate one
On my last appointment, the first since lockdown, he examined my calf which was very swollen and hard. After the examination he recommended I go immediately to the local MIU, even though it was early evening. On arrival at the MIU, the nurses

I had heel and foot pain that was affecting all areas of my life. I had gradually stopped doing things that I had previously enjoyed as my condition dictated how much I could do each day. I had visited a Chiropractor and a Physiotherapist, neither of whom made the slightest bit of difference. I was getting desperate.
Then I went to Simon. He is incredibly thorough, through an elimination process, he diagnosed and treated my problem straight away (it wasn’t what I had convinced myself it was, it was something else entirely!) Within 2 days of the treatment, following advice and using the techniques

Was referred to Simon following around 10 years of having niggling and annoying injuries. He identified what has since turned out to have been the key problem (one leg slightly shorter), came up with a great solution and has had me running injury free for the three years or so. I would definitely recommend Simon to others.

Simon was extremely professional and friendly after I’d contacted him to help me out with a long-standing issue. The appointment exceeded my expectations with straightforward explanations, immediate treatment and advice on what to do after the session. I’d highly recommend Simon to anyone and would have no hesitation in seeing him again in the future.

A great service. Simon came to my home as I had just come out of hospital after having a caesarean. He was professional and friendly. He provided reassurance and was really helpful in explaining all about the problem I have from an old nail injury. I would use him again and highly recommend him to others.
