Mr Mark Leonida

 

Mark studied in London Marylebone School in the mid 1980’s in orthotics and prosthesis and after qualifying specialised in paediatric neurological orthopaedics in the South East Thames area. After identifying his interest in sports injuries in the mid 1990’s, Mark spent several years assessing 1st division soccer team players for both London and Norwich regions.

With this experience, he went on to set-up and develop a successful sports injury biomechanics and bracing clinic in South London, specialising in foot mechanics and knee injuries as well as developing new and very successful bracing and foot orthotic techniques.

Mark is now developing his clinic using the latest diagnostic techniques and state of the art equipment.  The Wimbledon Clinics team are proud to be able to include this service to complement our ongoing development of sports injuries and musculoskeletal clinics and to assist our patients with their rehabilitation programme.

Orthotics Clinics
Orthotics is the medical field concerned with the application and manufacture of orthoses, devices which support or correct the function of a limb or the torso. The term is derived from the Greek "ortho", to straighten.

Foot orthotics allow the muscles, tendons and bones of the feet and lower legs to function at their highest potential. When appropriately prescribed, orthotics can decrease pain, not only in the foot, but in other parts of the body such as the knee, hip and lower back. They can also increase stability in an unstable joint, prevent a deformed foot from developing additional problems, and improve quality of life overall.

With his extensive experience in orthotics,  Mark focuses on therapy rehabilitation for all musculoskeletal and neurological conditions as well as providing the non-surgical, conservative approach to sports injuries rehabilitation.

  • Biomechanical and gait analysis incorporating static clinical assessment along with dynamic forceplate and video analysis for optimisation of orthotic and clinical treatment modes and outcomes.
  • Assessment only to assess dynamic anomolies.
  • Supply and fitting of foot orthotics.
  • Alternative orthotic intervention such as knee bracing
