About Us

RS Podiatry Clinic welcomes you! My name is Rick and my passion to help people suffering from foot pain has led me to specialise as a Musculoskeletal Podiatrist. Whatever the issue, rest assured you are in the best hands when it comes to bespoke care and treatment. My aim is simply this – for you to return to pain free daily function. The clinic offers a wide range of treatments which can be carefully tailored towards your needs. This can range from  ingrowing toe nail to verruca treatments with my specialism focussing on  running injuries, various heel pain issues, Achilles Tendon problems and Tibialis Posterior Tendinopathy.

RS Podiatry prides itself on its access to in-house state of the art specialist services such as shockwave therapy, an evidence-based and and effective treatment modality. We also offer highly effective Class IV laser treatments which are known to treat a whole range of injuries from tendinopathies, nerve/neurological related issues, pain associated arthritis, ankle sprains, swelling, inflammation and so much more.

What else makes us unique? Well, we are  the only clinic in the  Midlands and Warwickshire to use Run3D’s specialist motion capture technology to analyse the gait and running form for the everyday runner. This has proven to help not only amateur running enthusiasts but also elite professionals to simply take it back to the basics, allowing you to improve your performance and identify recurring injury patterns with the added edge of specialist guidance.

We see patients from the surrounding running clubs, dance schools, rugby and football clubs, professional & non-professional sports personnel & golfers for various foot, ankle, knee and hip related issues. Furthermore, we have excellent referral networks with many private and NHS clinics.

Where required we have a strong focus on using the latest pressure and force mapping technology to analyse foot function in greater detail and understand potential biomechanical reasons behind a patients foot pain. This analysis may be combined with the latest in 3D-printed Phits Orthotics – as worn by elite runners and athletes but made accessible to all of our patients.

Our orthotics are uniquely designed devices catered to each individual price point to suit your needs.

Where possible, using the latest technology and taking our time during appointments allows patients to understand their problem better, engages our patients with their findings and results in a strong platform for successful patient outcomes.

RS Podiatry clinic can be found nestled away in the Warwickshire Countryside, in a beautiful barn conversion overlooking a relaxing courtyard where our patients can enjoy a coffee before their consultation. We understand that your experience up until now may have been a difficult one, this is why we believe your pain free journey extends beyond the treatment itself, and that the environment in which you receive treatment can play a vital part in your road to recovery.

The Meriden area is perfectly located for patients travelling from Solihull, Coventry, and Birmingham. Our excellent road links mean those travelling from Stafford, Leicester, Loughborough, Redditch and surrounding areas, can do so easily. The clinic is a little haven of peace and tranquillity, allowing you to fully be present during your bespoke treatments.
