Podiatry is the health profession that deals with the management of foot and foot related disorders. The fact the average person walks between 5000 to 8000 steps per day makes footcare an important part of our day to day lives, yet an often under-rated one until problems arise.
The scope of podiatric practice includes general footcare such as the management of ingrown nails, plantar warts, corns & calluses, orthotics, muscle release work all the way through to surgical management of foot conditions.

We provide a comprehensive range of podiatry services dealing with general footcare, footcare advice, foot pain management through to the integration of linking foot based problems with other musculoskeletal disorders such as low back pain.

We have specialist sports podiatrists who can manage orthopaedic conditions such as plantar fasciitis, heel spur syndrome, shin splints and other musculoskeletal based conditions. We have the only sports podiatrist & chiropractor in Australia working in our practice, so we have a significant advantage in being able to link how your feet may be affecting other parts of the body through to headaches, shoulder pain, low back instability and poor core balance.

Our greatest strength however lies in the fact that our podiatry service is multi-faceted. We can provide treatment options ranging from strengthening work through to flexibility programmes and home care advice. We utilise orthotic management where indicated for movement based biomechanical problems. Yet we don’t just rely on orthotics as our only form of treatment. We integrate them with other treatment modalities such core stability exercises, swiss ball, Active Release Technique, Graston-Hall method, and electro-physical agents such as ultrasound, interferential and laser to provide improved treatment outcomes.
