I can actually finally have confidence that I will run again.Posted on Anxo Vilas I went to Active Step after trying over the counter products as well as other podiatrists for years while my condition was getting worse instead of better. The service I got at Active Step couldn't have been any better and I've just been discharged successfully after 12 months of treatment. Jim, Zoe, Sophie and the rest of the team are not only highly professional, but also very personable and I cannot recommend them enough.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 169 reviews
