Our approach to our patients

Feb 19, 2020

At our clinic, we believe in delivering exceptional lower limb care through a structured, evidence-based approach that puts patients first. Our philosophy and methods ensure each patient receives individualized treatment aimed at achieving the best possible outcomes.

Our Philosophy of Care

Our company values form the foundation of our patient care approach:

  • Making a Difference - We focus on preventing, treating, and rehabilitating lower limb problems to help our patients achieve a life of pain-free activity.

  • Comprehensive Care - We view our patients as whole individuals, providing attention, empathy, and dedicated care throughout their treatment journey.

  • Industry Leadership - We consistently utilize the best evidence and techniques available to ensure optimal treatment outcomes for our patients.

  • Specialized Focus - We maintain expertise in lower limb care exclusively, partnering with other specialists when needed to provide complete care solutions.

The Management Plan

We develop a comprehensive management plan at the start of each patient's journey that outlines:

  • The specific impact of the problem on the patient's daily life

  • Our detailed assessment of the condition

  • Clear treatment goals and desired outcomes

  • The proposed treatment approach and timeline

  • Team members involved in the care process

  • Patient responsibilities and action items

Our Team and Partnerships

Our specialized in-house team includes:

  • Podiatrists

  • Exercise physiologist

  • Podiatric surgeon

We also maintain strong partnerships with external practitioners to ensure comprehensive care when needed.

Treatment Selection Process

Our approach to selecting treatments is based on several key factors:

  • Scientific evidence and current research

  • Individual patient assessment

  • Condition severity and duration

  • Patient-specific factors and circumstances

We typically begin with simple, non-invasive treatments before progressing to more complex interventions if needed. Our focus remains on:

  • Supporting the body's natural recovery process

  • Implementing effective rehabilitation strategies

  • Developing preventative measures for long-term success

  • Treating root causes rather than just symptoms

Treatment Considerations

When developing individual treatment plans, we evaluate:

  • The duration of the condition

  • Patient age and specific needs

  • Practical aspects of treatment implementation

  • Previous treatment history and outcomes

  • Individual response patterns to different treatments
