We are thrilled to be one of only two clinics in the North West of England to become an official injury clinic for the 2011 London Marathon!

This means that our clinic has been selected to provide specialist care and rehabilitation to athletes competing in the London Marathon this year. This is a great honour for the clinic and we look forward to assisting the athletes in any way we can.

Here at the clinic we have a state of the art gait laboratory, ProGait, which enables athletes to have their walking and running gait analysed.

At ProGait we know that even the smaller advantage can make a large improvement to your performance. We will analyse your mechanics in the finest detail and look for every opportunity to aid your performance. Our on-site physiotherapists have a wealth of experience of treating athletes and our on-site podiatrists are highly skilled in fitting and manufacture of specialist custom made orthotics.

Injuries occur in athletes when excessive forces are placed on the tissues of the body. This can happen as a one off force or more commonly a smaller repetitive force, commonly known as an over-use injury. With our state of the art motion analysis software, we can track all of your movements from all four sides of the body and see where these repetitive forces are acting.

Not only do we have Podiatrists that specialise in Biomechanics but we also have Physiotherapists that specialise in treating sports injuries. Our Physiotherapists have treated many Manchester based athletes over the years and have ensured that they returned to full fitness as soon as possible.

Davenport House Clinic and ProGait welcome athletes from all over the country. Whatever your sporting activity or foot problem there will be a treatment available for you here at the clinic. Contact us today to find out how we can help you.
