Botany, St Johns & Wairau Clinics
If you are an athlete or an active individual who enjoys sports and physical activities, consider consulting with our expert
podiatrist. With extensive experience in managing sports-related injuries, we can help you optimize foot and
lower limb health, ensuring you remain at the top of your game.
Our musculoskeletal (MSK) podiatrist specialises in diagnosing and treating problems related to the bones, joints, muscles, and soft tissues of the lower limb. Particularly the feet, ankles, knees, and sometimes hips.
The focus is on how movement, posture, and foot function affect the entire kinetic chain.
MSK podiatrists often work closely with physiotherapists, sports doctors, and orthopaedic specialists to provide holistic care for both acute injuries and long-term conditions, helping patients return to full function and prevent recurrence.
