Podiatrists
Depending on your injury, you may want to see a podiatrist. They diagnose and treat disorders, diseases, and injuries of the foot and lower leg. A podiatrist can also help with maintaining the condition of your feet, such as by removing calloused or hardened skin and treating blackened or thickened toenails.
A number of specialists have been recommended by Serpie members (shown in bold) and they are listed below. Members with additional recommendations are invited to email them in the same format.
Note that neither Serpentine R.C. nor its members may be held responsible for any diagnosis or treatment. Before engaging the services of any specialist members should satisfy themselves as to training, experience and insurance. If in any doubt you should consult your GP.
It is strongly advised that you double check the cost with the specialist before commencing treatment.

"I have no hesitation in recommending Norbert Cauvas at Foot Factor. He
is a very sensitive and thorough practitioner. The equipment he uses is
very scientifically advanced. However what really makes me single him
out is that he makes the soles on site. I went into his clinic at 9.30
and emerged at 11.15 with my new feet. I was also encouraged to watch
the whole operation." Sid Wills Discount for Serpentine members |

competent, sees some of the top runners and contributes to Runners'

exercise in general & is always very encouraging about progress
achieved. He gives 100% value for money & I always feel much better

Ron McCulloch

Lewisham and Harley Street |
"I'd highly recommend him – it's worth the trek to Lewisham!" Fran Acheson "I can highly recommend Ron McCulloch, a podiatrist specialising in sport. I got his name from the Serpie website. Through him, I had identified exactly what my problem was and I got some tailor-made orthotics which completely solved three years of a nagging knee problem. Whilst he's not cheap, he's been fantastic value for money in saved physio fees and most importantly, the total absence of pain and all the frustration and depression that goes with being an injured runner."

"Straightforward,
knowledgable and interested in his subject including ability to
recommend running shoes. My experience was that he was more interested
in getting the problem resolved than he was in extracting money for
needless repeated appointments." Tony Gould |
