MAXIMISE your foot potential!
ARE YOU READY TO TRANSFORM YOUR FEET?
You are here because you love an active lifestyle but for some reason are unable to enjoy your sport/activities.
Perhaps you are dealing with persistent foot pain, or an ankle sprain that won’t settle. You’ve been told you have FLAT FEET and need orthoses for life. Or maybe you want to start running but you’re unsure about running trainers and wondering where to start.
This is where I can help. I know how debilitating pain can be and how it affects your wellbeing. How choosing the right shoes or running trainers can be extremely confusing because of endless choices.
MY METHOD WILL SAVE YOU MONEY
In the world of Traditional Podiatry, orthoses, insoles and arch supports tend to be the main treatment strategy. But in truth they’re over-used. Using external support and focusing only on the symptoms does not cut it if the main GOAL is long-term sustainable foot health and optimal function. Long-term use of orthoses can cause muscle weakness and joint stiffness. Plus, they’re costly to the patient.
It’s time to redefine foot health, strip back the layers and build you from the ground up!
Why is the pain there?
My aim is to find the root cause of your pain by not only focusing on your symptoms but also addressing underlying issues using the strategies: PROTECT, CORRECT, PREVENT, EDUCATE – FOOTWEAR and RUNNING education.
I combine a range of disciplines, principles and tools to develop an individual treatment programme, including:
One of the main focal points when it come to restoring natural foot function, relieving foot pain and improving joint stability and muscle strength.
Barefoot movement training places emphasis on mobility and strength, with particular focus on the nervous system — especially proprioception and sensory-motor integration which prepares us to thrive in conditions that we encounter in daily life.
Focusing on mobilising fascia, muscle and joints to help relieve foot pain and restore foot function.
Focus on restoring foot function, aligning the toes, improving joint stability, muscle strength, postural balance and relieving foot pain.
Appropriate prescription and adjustment of load exercises, to maximise adaptation and performance with a minimal risk of injury.
Focuses on integrating the Myofascial System for optimising dynamic stability and functional strength. These techniques enhance postural stability, improve local mobility and integrate mind-body in a purposeful and conscious way.
These tools provide external support therefore, they focus on managing external load. They are used in chronic cases and where appropriate they will be used temporarily followed by a reintegration programme.
This is an investment in everything you need to restore your natural foot function. It will prevent you from having to replace your orthoses/insoles for the rest of your life.
"I was introduced to Rina a few months ago and after only 2 sessions, I have been really pleased with the results. Rina took the time to explain in detail how my plantar fasciitis could be alleviated and after following the exercise course as well as changing my footwear I've seen a dramatic improvement. I am delighted to recommend Rina."
Craig Dwyer
"Rina was very friendly and unbelievably helpful and really opened my eyes when it came to foot health, I honestly didn’t realise how much of a role our feet play when it comes to our bodies as a whole. I’m looking forward to seeing the progression that I make, I’m only 4 days in and I can already feel difference. Highly recommend to anyone!"

"I find Rina Harris is extremely knowledgeable about feet and podiatry. She imparts a lot of information in one appointment."
Mary Penelope Templeton
"Rina was absolutely brilliant. A great listener, and very helpful. She gave me immediate hope that what was becoming quite a debilitating problem could be solved."
Jordan Frieda
"Very thorough, very helpful, and open minded. I haven't been able to resolve my injury as of yet (the injury's somewhat unique) - but that is not due to any failing of Rina's. I have seen numerous specialists, and Rina has been the most helpful and the most invested in trying to help. I have definitely been better off for seeing her, and still feel she is one of my best shots for getting back injury free! Highly recommend."
Jack French
"Really rapid improvement of my walking distance and foot strength after seeing Rina. I've been struggling with a collapsed foot and tib. post. for years. Rina's advice, exercises and replacing my orthotic gave me an immediate reduction in walking discomfort. It's letting the tendon and muscles recover and strengthen so I can finally move away from constant tendon re-injury and start strengthening my foot. Fingers crossed!"
Malcolm Dallamore
"Rina is an experienced and specialised natural podiatrist. Having been to a range of physiotherapists and osteopaths in the past, I experience Rina's approach highly individualised. Since my first assessment in May with individualised prescribed exercises, a completed (gradual) change in footwear and foot care, I feel like I am totally reforming the way my feet and ankles move. I no longer have daily foot pain and my feet feel better to articulate. I strongly recommend her. The only problem is that there are not more Rinas in London as well as on the NHS for everyone to be able to access healthier feet, and that there are highly insufficient number of shoe shops that sell 'natural' shoes (see Rina's social media page for descriptions)."
Camilla Carmelin
"Rina very quickly understood the issues I was suffering from as a result of chronic collapsed arches. She prescribed VivoBarefoot shoes. I visited their store on Neal Street, near Covent Garden and picked up a pair of Primus Lite III shoes. This has had an amazing revitalising effect on my feet. For the first time ever, my feet feel free and natural - rather than contained and confined - in a shoe. The constant aching has gone. I wear my Barefoot shoes about 50 per cent of the time; i.e. whenever, I possibly can. They are quite chic."

"I had forefoot pain that was being aggravated when I went running. Rina recommended some exercises to do and a pair of running trainers which has helped enormously and I’m back running again"
Alex Rose
Dominic Burke
"I was treated by Rina to address an ongoing problem in my left foot which left me unable to walk or run without serious discomfort. Rina is extremely professional and knowledgeable, her expertise was immediately evident as she diagnosed my symptoms and clearly explained her recommended course of action. Thanks to Rina I was able to go back to walking and running pain free. I would recommend her to anyone with a foot problem without hesitation."
Matthew Siddick
"During my consultation, treatment & healing Rina was scientific, knowledgeable & meticulous in her approach. She instinctively understood how the injury was impacting my life & devised a ‘treatment plan’ that was extremely effective & helped rebuild my confidence & enable me to return to the activities I love."
