About The Leg Lab. Premier Lower Limb & Podiatry Clinic in Cheltenham, The Cotswold's and Gloucestershire. 

Welcome to The Leg Lab, Cheltenham’s leading specialist clinic for advanced musculoskeletal podiatry, biomechanics, and lower limb injury rehabilitation. Located in Andoversford (GL544LB) we combine clinical expertise with state of the art diagnostic technology to eliminate pain, restore function, and keep you moving and performing at the level you want.

Founded and operated by Podiatrist, Biomechanics Specialist and Personal Trainer, Sam Chidwick, The Leg Lab was built on a simple philosophy: you cannot fix how the body moves without looking at the whole picture. We do not just treat symptoms; we identify the root biomechanical cause of your discomfort to deliver long term, lasting solutions.

Why Choose The Leg Lab?

Unlike general podiatry clinics, we focus exclusively on musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions of the foot, ankle and lower limb. Our facility is equipped with industry leading diagnostic tools to ensure pin point precision in every assessment:

• Advanced Gait Analysis: Advanced video analysis to evaluate your walking and running mechanics.

• Phits 3D Footscan® Pressure Assessment: Cutting edge dynamic pressure mapping to identify hidden imbalances, high load zones, and structural asymmetries.

• Access to a range of scanning and imaging modalities: Fast and efficient referral for X-ray, MRI or Ultrasound if needed to help diagnosis. 

Specialist Care for All Activity Levels

Whether you are an elite athlete sidelined by a sports injury, or someone struggling with daily joint discomfort, a builder with plantar fasciitis or a nurse with Achilles pain, our tailored recovery pathways are designed around your specific lifestyle goals and needs.

We provide highly effective, evidence based management plans for a comprehensive range of lower limb conditions, including:

• Heel & Foot Pain: Expert resolution for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, metatarsalgia, and Morton’s neuroma.

• Joint & Alignment Issues: Targeted interventions for chronic ankle instability, knee pain and shin splints.

• Custom Orthotics: Design and prescription of precision engineered, data driven orthotic insoles tailored exactly to your biomechanical needs.
