Why choose Podiatry?
Podiatry is a valuable addition to any multidisciplinary treatment plan, especially where foot function and biomechanics are contributing to chronic or recurrent injuries that may be affecting the kinetic chain.
Key Areas our Podiatrists treat:
Ankle Injuries (Lateral, Medial, Anterior)
- Early-stage offloading with the use of prescription orthotics to control motion and support healing.
- Orthotics facilitates earlier return to progressive strengthening.
- Supports chronic instability and recurrent sprain management.
Forefoot and Midfoot Injuries
- Management of forefoot injuries, capsulitis, neuromas, and intermetatarsal pain.
- Orthotic accommodation and gait offloading strategies for pain relief and functional return.
Plantar Fasciitis & Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD)
- Addressed through a combination of biomechanical assessment, orthotic support, and conditioning advice.
- Tailored foot posture correction (especially for overpronation) to reduce strain on key structures.
Bony Pathologies
- Management and pressure redistribution for:
Bunions (Hallux Valgus)
Heel Spurs
Other osseous prominences and bone spurs
- Footwear education and long-term offloading plans.
Foot Type-Specific Treatment (Planus & Cavus Feet)
- Accurate identification of pathology patterns associated with flat feet (planus) and high-arched feet (cavus).
- Tailored orthotic design to improve gait efficiency, reduce compensatory mechanics, and mitigate upstream load (e.g., knee/hip).
Additional Services Include:
Gait & Postural and Peak Pressure Analysis
Footwear Assessment, Prescription & Modifications
Running & Sports Biomechanical Assessments
Rehab Integration & Load Management Plans
Dry Needling & Joint Mobilisation
Shockwave Therapy
Multidisciplinary Support
Podiatric input complements your treatment by:
Offloading injured tissues for optimal rehab progression.
Preventing kinetic chain overload (e.g., hip pain from foot posture issues).
Supporting post-op or return-to-sport programs.
Offering second-opinion assessments for complex lower limb pain.
