Patients from Guildford travel to Advanced Footcare Group in Dorking for specialist podiatry with a named clinician. We treat the full range of foot problems, from routine care to biomechanics, sports injuries and surgery, and we take the time to find what is actually causing a problem rather than offering a quick, generic fix.
Guildford is genuinely hard on feet. The famously steep, cobbled High Street loads the forefoot and toes every time you walk down it, the climbs up to the Mount and along the North Downs work the calf and Achilles, and the busy commute means long spells standing on platforms and pounding hard pavements in shoes chosen for the office rather than for comfort. It is no surprise that heel pain, forefoot pain and Achilles trouble are common here in people who are simply getting on with daily life.
We assess how you stand, walk and load your feet, explain what we find in plain terms, and give you a treatment plan with realistic timescales. You see the same clinician each visit, so your care stays consistent from start to finish.

Frequently asked questions.
The things people in Guildford ask us most often , from booking and referrals to what to expect at your first appointment , answered by our clinicians.
Can everyday life in Guildford contribute to foot pain?
Very often, yes. The steep cobbled High Street loads the forefoot on the way down, the climbs onto the North Downs work the Achilles and calf, and commuting means long spells standing and walking on hard ground in unsupportive shoes. We assess your daily activity as well as your feet so treatment fits how you actually live.
Is your clinic easy to reach from Guildford?
Yes. We are in Dorking, roughly twelve miles east along the A25 and A246, a straightforward drive. Patients travel to us for specialist podiatry and continuity of care with a named clinician.
Do you offer sports podiatry and gait analysis?
Yes. We provide sports podiatry and biomechanical assessment for active people, using gait analysis to both treat and help prevent injuries.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book a private appointment directly, without a GP referral, and be seen promptly by a named, HCPC-registered clinician.
How soon can I be seen, and what happens at the first visit?
We aim to see new patients promptly, often within a few days, so you are not left struggling on Guildford's steep High Street and hard pavements while you wait. At the first visit we take a full history, look at how you stand and walk, examine the feet, and explain what we find in plain terms. You leave with a clear idea of the cause and a plan, and booking is direct with no GP referral needed.

Such lovely service. Saw me the same day (due to a cancellation) and Nigel was extremely thorough and kind. Thank you so much 🙏

I saw Audrey today who was lovely and so helpful and knowledgeable. Gave me some good recommendations which I've followed up and I feel more positive about my feet problems now.

Pippa saw me quickly for my initial assessment and then fitted me in to have my orthotics made in time for a long distance running event. The orthotics made a huge difference taking the pain and blisters away from my big toes. Thank you!
I have since seen Grahame who gives you confidence for any procedures that you may need. He uses new technology (ultrasound scanner) which gives an accurate diagnosis enabling him to discuss the best treatment plan with you.

I have seen Grahame Mann on a few occasions with my feet issues. Each time I have been in pain and each time he has resolved them, has made me pain free and again able to walk without any problems. He is such a very talented man with amazing skills. I will always be forever grateful for all he has done for me. I highly recommend him to anyone who suffers with foot problems. He really is the best.

After 3 years of going “ow ow ow” with every step, following a complicated fracture, and unable to sit with my foot on the floor, I was most fortunate to come across the foot pain clinic at the Medwyn Centre. They quickly diagnosed further damage from the accident that neither the surgeon who operated on the fracture nor an orthopaedics consultant I saw after the first year of pain had detected.
I was relieved to be told that the treatment would be manipulation therapy rather than more surgery. It was going to take time, and I was warned there was no guarantee of success. Six months later I am delighted to report that I am 95% pain-free and able not only to walk in a straight line but also go for walks in the woods. I am immensely grateful to Grahame and Nigel for their expert knowledge and skilful care.

My son has been seeing Mr Mann for a year and he has changed his life. After seeing him for an ingrown toenail, Mr Mann diagnosed him with split second calf, and set about treating this with exercise and orthotics. We had tried for many years for other medical professionals to see what was wrong with his feet but with no luck. My son has worked hard to correct all of this but without Mr Mann's help and guidance this wouldn't have happened. He can now start his driving lessons again. Total life changer.

Very happy with my treatment from Mr Mann. I have suffered with a connective tissue disease for many years, and in fact before I even had my diagnosis, I saw Mr Mann with regards to my bunions and he said way back in 2014 that he thought I might have EDS. This was proven to be true almost 10 years later after going back and forth to my GP with various joint and foot issues. He is very knowledgeable about EDS and has helped me immensely with sorting out various issues with my feet.
I am very grateful for my care at Advanced Footcare Group. I most likely will be a long-term patient here due to my condition, but it feels so refreshing for my EDS to be able to be understood by someone that knows all about its complexities.

I have been a patient of Grahame Mann for many years and know of his expertise. But recently I suffered a number of problems including pain in a toe and debilitating knee and back pain. His excellent diagnosis and advice of a fractured toe, new orthoses and exercises has set me on the road to health again. I am so grateful!

I was referred to the Advanced Footcare Group and I was very pleased with the care I received. They immediately understood the issue I was having and were able to solve it fast. Their care has had a transformative effect on my life and I highly recommend visiting if you're having any problems with your feet.

Mr Grahame Mann has treated me for an ingrowing toenail that was causing considerable discomfort. I came to Advanced Footcare at the Medwyn Centre because of his credentials and was not disappointed. His removal of the nail and aftercare was second to none. Extremely good value for money as cost of surgery included all aftercare appointments too. I highly recommend him if you need a chiropodist/podiatrist/surgeon.

Over 2 years ago, I saw Mr Grahame Mann to address the pain and tension resulting from my unstable gait. His analysis and prescription of custom insoles supported my whole body very well and greatly increased stability. In addition it improved my athletic performance in various endeavours because the redistribution of my centre of gravity and greater stability led to better movement throughout my body as my feet and lower limbs were put in a very slightly different, but much better alignment - to produce force and maintain balance. Many thanks to Advanced Footcare Group.
