Towards the end of the 2019 triathlon race season, I began noticing a dull ache beneath my second/third metatarsal of my left foot. Foolishly I continued training and completed two further races, where the latter race was cut short due to the pain in my foot. I sought the advice of Nick Knight through a remote consultation after recommendation from another sports injury professional.
Despite living 200 miles away at the time, Nick was happy to begin a remote consultation programme. I was very impressed with Nick’s dedication and drive to ensure I had a thorough and accurate diagnosis. Despite never visiting his clinic in person, Nick was still able to confidently diagnose a plantar plate tear through several remote consultations. I was sent a pair of orthotics in the post and ensued a comprehensive and progressive rehabilitation programme designed by NK active’s Exercise Rehabilitation Instructor Natalie. They both continued to assist and monitor my rehabilitation and I progressed from barely being able to walk, back to full running pain free. I am now running better than I ever have with no repercussions of the plantar plate tear.
I would happily and wholeheartedly recommend the services provided by NK Active.

Nick Knight is extremely knowledgeable and was able to give me new insights into an injury I've been struggling with for years. I live in the United States, and haven't had any luck with any podiatrist I've seen in NYC. I read an article Nick wrote for Running-Physio about plantar plate tears, and I knew that's who I wanted to speak to. I'm so grateful he was able to a consultation over video with me. I was initially worried that with the time difference communication would be difficult, but there hasn't been any issue. I'm looking forward to continuing my treatment with him and get back to running! I highly recommend him!
