About Precision Gait Clinic
Meet Conor Costello
Specialist MSK Podiatrist | MSc Clinical Biomechanics
Precision Gait Clinic was founded by Conor Costello, a Specialist MSK Podiatrist with over 10 years of clinical experience.
Conor has an MSc in Clinical Biomechanics and works in both private practice and the NHS as a Band 7 MSK Specialist Podiatrist.
His clinical work focuses on understanding how the foot, ankle and lower limb function together, and how factors such as movement, strength, mobility and loading can contribute to injury and pain.
Why Precision Gait Clinic?
Precision Gait was created from a simple idea: patients need more than a diagnosis and a list of exercises.
Understanding an injury is only part of the process. The important question is why that tissue has become overloaded in the first place, and what needs to change to allow it to recover.
That requires time to listen to your history, assess how you move and load your tissues, and bring those findings together into a clear clinical picture.
The aim is to give you a better understanding of your problem and a clear direction for what to do next.
My Approach
I take a rehabilitation-first approach to MSK care.
Rather than focusing solely on where you feel pain, I look at the wider mechanical factors that may be contributing to your symptoms. Assessment, analysis and rehabilitation are brought together to create a plan within a broader recovery plan that is specific to your findings and your goals.
You can read more about how this works on the Precision Gait Approach page.
