I felt really comfortable and relaxed with Dr Seah.

He explained everything very well in a manner which I understood!

When I saw him I was in considerable pain and was really worried about going on a holiday to the States which involved a lot of walking.

He was so good and arranged for everything to be actioned quickly including having a steroid injection. The result was like magic and I was able to walk pain free which meant I had a great holiday! 
 At the moment my knee is still OK!

I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Seah to anyone who wants a professional and first class service.

This is a procedure to test the pressures in one or more of the lower limb compartments (often the anterior or deep posterior compartments) to diagnose or exclude chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS).

There are various ways of performing this and the interpretation of results can be challenging.

CECS is a known cause of exercise-induced leg pain (EILP). EILP typically occurs in sports which involve running, marching or jumping.
