The rehab arm of Belfast's lower limb specialists.
For more than a decade, Lower Limb Clinic has been the go-to destination in Belfast for complex foot, ankle and lower limb problems: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, shin splints, knee pain, stress fractures, you name it. Patients come to us when generalist care hasn't worked.
Diagnosis and intervention (ultrasound, injections, shockwave, orthotics) resolve a huge amount of that. But the patients who stay better are the ones who finish their rehab. Structured loading, strength work, return-to-activity planning: that's what prevents relapse.
Our specialist lower limb physiotherapy service delivers that rehab phase in-house. Same clinic. Same records. Same clinicians talking to each other.
Objective strength testing, measured in Newtons.
Every lower limb rehab programme starts with baseline strength testing using VALD muscle dynamometry, the same technology used by Premiership clubs and Olympic programmes. We measure calf, quadriceps, hamstring and hip strength in Newtons, track left-right asymmetry, and build your rehab around real data.
Re-tested at every key milestone. Exit-tested before you return to running or sport. You'll see the numbers move, not just feel different.
