MSK Podiatry & Pressure‑Plate Gait Analysis — About Matthew

As a HCPC‑registered Musculoskeletal Podiatrist, Matthew provides specialist assessment and treatment for foot and ankle pain, combining advanced clinical reasoning with pressure‑plate gait analysis to deliver precise, data‑driven care. His approach focuses on understanding how you move, why symptoms develop, and what interventions will create lasting change.

Since 2019, Matthew has worked exclusively in the private sector, developing a reputation for high‑quality MSK care and clear, evidence‑based treatment planning. Alongside his clinical practice, he serves as a Consultant Podiatrist to both a Premiership rugby club and a professional football club, supporting athletes with injury management, load optimisation, and performance‑focused rehabilitation.

What to Expect in Your Assessment

Your appointment includes a detailed musculoskeletal examination and high‑resolution pressure‑plate gait analysis, capturing real‑time data on:

  • Foot loading and pressure distribution
  • Timing, symmetry, and efficiency of gait
  • Functional deficits contributing to pain or instability
  • Biomechanical patterns linked to injury or overload

This objective information allows Matthew to identify the root cause of your symptoms and design a treatment plan that is specific, measurable, and aligned with your goals.

How Matthew Supports Your Recovery

Matthew treats a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, with a particular focus on sports injuries, overuse syndromes, and complex MSK presentations. Treatment may include:

  • Targeted rehabilitation and strength programming
  • Footwear and load‑management strategies
  • Custom orthotic prescription informed by gait metrics
  • Minor surgical procedures under local anaesthetic

With POM‑A and POM‑S entitlements, Matthew is qualified to supply and administer prescription‑only medicines and anaesthetics, ensuring safe and effective care when injections or minor procedures are required.

Professional Development & Expertise

Matthew has completed the Theory of Podiatric Surgery, advancing his knowledge of surgical management of foot and ankle pathology. He regularly presents at conferences and delivers CPD sessions for clinicians across the UK, contributing to the development of MSK podiatry practice.

In early 2026, Matthew published a book on heel pain, reflecting his specialist interest in plantar heel pathology and his commitment to improving patient outcomes through education and evidence‑based guidance.
