Sports Podiatry and Musculoskeletal (MSK) Podiatry share some overlap, but they slightly differ in focus and application:

Sports Podiatry

• Focus: Primarily caters to athletes and active individuals, addressing foot and lower limb issues related to sports performance and injury prevention.

• Key Areas:

  • Biomechanics specific to athletic activities.

  • Injury prevention and performance enhancement for sports.

  • Management of sports-related conditions like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, or stress fractures.

• Approach: Combines musculoskeletal assessments with sports-specific considerations such as footwear, training load, and surface impact.

Musculoskeletal (MSK) Podiatry

• Focus: Broader in scope, addressing structural and functional issues in the feet and lower limbs for all individuals, not just athletes.

• Key Areas:

  • Diagnosis and management of lower limb pain or injuries (e.g., heel, knee, hip pain).

  • Identifying biomechanical imbalances contributing to pain or dysfunction.

  • Often works alongside other health professionals in treating chronic conditions like arthritis or back pain.

• Approach: Holistic assessment and treatment that isn’t necessarily tied to athletic activity, aiming for improved mobility and reduced pain for everyday life.
