Case Study 1: Chronic Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome in a Competitive Runner

38-year-old semi-professional runner. Bilateral medial tibial pain. 18 months of failed treatment.

Two courses of physiotherapy and sports medicine had not held — symptoms relapsed within weeks of returning to training each time. Adherence to rehabilitation had also broken down due to frequent work travel and inconsistent gym access.

The MM Podiatry system solution: a 3D printed orthotic prescribed to reduce pronation velocity and improve shock attenuation through the lower limb, connected to a 14-week structured rehabilitation programme delivered through RehabHub 3D.

Digital rehab delivery proved decisive: exercises were completed in hotel rooms and airports using RehabHub 3d’s video guidance, directly addressing the adherence barrier that had undermined previous treatment.

The patient returned to 25+ km of weekly running within 14 weeks, targeting half-marathon distance within eight weeks.

“For the first time in 18 months, I feel like someone has actually explained why this keeps happening and given me a plan that fits my life, not just told me to rest and hope for the best.”

Case Study 2: Chronic Plantar Fasciopathy in an Active Professional

52-year-old teacher and recreational parkrunner. 14 months of right-sided plantar heel pain. Rest and a heel pad had not worked.

Symptoms had initially improved with rest but returned when she tried to resume parkrun. Her GP had treated the symptoms — with cushioning and offloading — without addressing the mechanical reasons the tissue was being overloaded with every step. She was managing 6,000–8,000 steps daily on hard flooring and had stopped all recreational activity.

The MM Podiatry system solution: a 3D printed orthotic prescribed to reduce pronation velocity, control the rate and magnitude of arch lowering, and allow the windlass mechanism to engage earlier and more efficiently — connected to a 10-week rehabilitation programme delivered through RehabHub 3D.

Morning pain dropped from 7/10 to 2/10 by week four. Walking 10,000+ steps on school days without significant end-of-day symptoms by week six. Completed her first parkrun in 14 months by week ten.

“I’d been told to rest and wear a gel pad for over a year — nobody explained why it actually hurt or gave me anything to actively do about it. The orthotics and the rehab programme together have completely changed things. I ran my first parkrun in over a year last Saturday.”

What Our Partners Say

As a busy private podiatry practice, bespoke foot orthoses sit at the core of our MSK service, so we’re very selective about who we work with. Since moving to this MM Podiatry, the consistency and quality of the 3D‑printed orthotics have been excellent, reliably reducing pathological tissue loading and giving us the stable mechanical foundation we need for rehab.

The integrated RehabHub 3D platform is a genuine value‑add for our patients. It allows us to progress tissue loading in a structured, evidence‑informed way and gives patients clear, accessible plans that complement their orthoses instead of just a generic exercise sheet. We also use it for prehab and minor niggles between appointments, which has noticeably improved engagement and adherence.

Together, the orthotics and digital rehab pathways have made our MSK care feel more joined‑up and professional. We spend less time on admin and workarounds and more time delivering a complete journey from overload and pain to restored function and confidence.

As a relatively new podiatry practice, I’ll admit I lacked confidence when it came to prescribing bespoke orthoses. I knew some of my patients needed more than off‑the‑shelf devices, but the sheer number of design choices, variables and suppliers made me nervous about getting it wrong. Partnering with MM Podiatry has completely changed that.

The prescription process is clear and guided, and the support behind it has been invaluable. I feel like I have an expert ‘in my corner’ helping translate my clinical findings into high‑quality, 3D‑printed orthotics that actually do what I need them to do.  My confidence has grown and so has my willingness to take on more complex MSK patients.

Having RehabHub 3D alongside the orthoses has been a big bonus. It gives me ready‑made, professional rehab prescriptions that I can quickly tailor to each patient, instead of piecing exercises together from scratch. Patients see it as a premium, joined‑up service rather than just “getting some insoles”, and that’s helped me grow the MSK side of the business much faster than I expected.

Working with MM Podiatry has allowed me to offer a level of orthotic and rehab care that feels more like an established MSK clinic than a start‑up, and it’s given me the confidence to build my reputation in this area.
