Our Podiatry Clinics in Auckland
Botany, St Johns, & Wairau Clinics
Whatever your level of sport or activity, consider consulting with a podiatrist at any of our three Auckland clinics. With extensive experience managing the full spectrum of injuries extending from below the knee to the ankle and foot, our podiatrists can help you optimise lower limb health, empowering you to take full advantage of your work, hobbies, and sports and exercise.
What is Podiatry?
Our musculoskeletal (MSK) podiatrist specialises in diagnosing and treating problems related to the bones, joints, muscles, and soft tissues of the lower limb. Podiatry in Aotearoa New Zealand typically involves treatment of pain, discomfort and injury to one or multiple areas from the knee and below (i.e., knee, ankle, foot, toes).
The focus for our podiatrists is determining how mechanics and foot function can affect the foot/ankle/knee, and as well, have impacts on the remaining kinetic chain. Comprehensive assessments of lower limb function may include one or multiple of identifying individual anatomical and tissue related characteristics, analysing gait patterns secondary to (or contributing to) pain or injury, assessments of strength and endurance, and unpacking adverse exposure to certain activities.
MSK podiatrists often work closely with our Auckland physiotherapy team, and as well, liaise with sports doctors and orthopaedic specialists as needed, to provide holistic care for both acute injuries and long-term conditions.
Podiatry services are an integral addition to the multidisciplinary team at RehabCo. By utilising the expertise of podiatry in developing our treatment plans, we feel we can properly account for injuries with broader complexity.
Sports Podiatry
Sports podiatrists specialise in assessing, diagnosing, treating, and preventing injuries affecting the feet and lower limbs, particularly those caused by athletic activities, but not limited to.
Offering sports podiatry near you, we will design a customised rehabilitation program to help you safely return to your sport, taking into account your specific injury, fitness level, and goals.
Podiatry Assessments
Foot and Ankle Injuries
Treating joint sprains, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, shin splints, forefoot and heel pain, nerve pain, and stress fractures.
Knee and Hip Assessments
Addressing acute injuries, muscle imbalances and limb misalignments that may be contributing to pain or dysfunction.
Gait and Biomechanical Assessments
Analysis of body posture and walking or running patterns to identify abnormal movements or imbalances.
Key Areas Our Podiatrists Treat:
-
Early-stage offloading with prescription orthotics to control motion and support healing, facilitating earlier return to progressive strengthening and supporting chronic instability management.
-
Management of capsulitis, neuromas, and intermetatarsal pain through orthotic accommodation and gait offloading strategies.
-
Podiatry in Auckland addresses PTTD through biomechanical assessment, orthotic support, and tailored foot posture correction to reduce strain on key structures.

Management and pressure redistribution for bunions (Hallux Valgus), heel spurs, and other osseous prominences, including footwear education and long-term offloading plans.
-
Accurate identification of pathology patterns associated with flat feet and high-arched feet, with tailored orthotic design to improve gait efficiency and mitigate upstream load on knees and hips.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
If your pain or injury is located in your feet, ankles, or lower limbs and involves issues with foot function, gait, or biomechanics, finding reliable podiatry near you is often the ideal starting point. Podiatrists specialise in assessing how your feet and lower limb mechanics influence the entire kinetic chain, and can provide targeted treatment.
If your concern involves broader musculoskeletal issues affecting multiple regions of the body, post-surgical rehabilitation, or general strength and mobility, rehabilitation physiotherapy is the better choice for you. Our physiotherapists and podiatrists often collaborate to address complex conditions and are able to make internal referrals as needed.
-
We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that allow easy access to your lower legs, such as shorts, a skirt, or pants that you can roll up above the knee. Bring the footwear you wear during activities that tend to cause pain or discomfort, as well as any current orthotics you use.
-
No! Imaging is not required before your appointment. When you see us for podiatry in Auckland, we can assess your condition and determine whether imaging (X-rays, ultrasound, or MRI) is necessary. We are able to then make the required referrals.
In many cases, a clinical assessment and biomechanical evaluation are enough to diagnose and begin treatment.
