TREBILCOCK
Podiatrist
ABOUT US
The Gait Clinic in Ramsgate was founded by Denzil Trebilcock, a podiatrist
wanting to create a better patient experience by combining individualised care and a holistic approach to recovery in a friendly and relaxing environment.
WHY COME TO THE GAIT CLINIC?
Denzil Trebilcock has a particular interest in sports-related foot problems and injuries and has worked in Harley Street for over 20 years. Denzil is also Company Podiatrist to the Royal Ballet and Royal Ballet School in Covent Garden where he has looked after all aspects of foot health of the dancers and students since 2009.
Several years after moving to Ramsgate he has decided that it is the right time to open his own clinic in the town centre where he can bring his vast experience in treating people with musculoskeletal conditions, elite athletes and dancers, sports professionals and amateurs alike to the local community. Denzil continues to divide his time between Harley Street and his clinic in Ramsgate.
ABOUT DENZIL TREBILCOCK
Prior to working solely in private practice, Denzil worked in the NHS and was department lead for the Musculoskeletal Foot and Ankle centre at Lambeth PCT where he gained all round clinical experience diagnosing and treating a variety of foot pathologies. Denzil also treated critical care patients within the high risk Diabetic Centres at King’s College and St Thomas’ Hospitals.
Denzil studied Podiatric Medicine at the London Foot Hospital, University College London, graduating with a BSc (Hons) in 2005. He is registered with two professional bodies, the Royal College of Podiatry, formerly known as the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, and the HCPC.
Denzil also holds a BSc (Hons) in Physics with Medical Applications from Kings College London.
Away from work, Denzil is a keen car and DIY enthusiast and is currently renovating his house.
Denzil is friendly, informative and will make you feel like your ugly mangled feet are the
most important patients in the world.

BIOMECHANICS +
GAIT ANALYSIS
The pain people feel in their feet and lower limbs is often caused from the way they stand, walk or run. Taking up a new activity like running can also highlight new pains and concerns.
Having a biomechanical analysis allows us to assess the amount and quality of movement across particular joints of the lower limb and to identify areas of abnormal function.
We can then design an individualised treatment programme through the use of prescription orthoses, padding and exercises. Small adjustments to the way we walk can have a huge impact on our comfort.
PODIATRY +
NAIL SURGERY
Ingrowing nails can be extremely painful. They occur when the side of the nail embeds itself into the surrounding skin.
Sometimes bacterial infections also develop when there is an open wound making the surrounding area even more sensitive and inflamed.
Thankfully, nail surgery is a completely routine procedure which involves partial removal of the problematic nail carried out under local anaesthesia.
Don't let fear or anxiety put you off seeking treatment. We can help you.
