25.01.2022 Pie maker cheesy garlic bread bombs Ok so nothing to do with feet, however, we have found the best (in our opinion) after school or lunchbox snack - for the big and little kids. Cooked in a Kmart pie maker, these oozy garlic bread balls are our new fave. ... INGREDIENTS 300g (2 cups) plain flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 80g unsalted butter, chilled, finely chopped, plus 60g extra 185ml (3/4 cup) milk 3 garlic cloves, crushed 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil, plus extra leaves, to serve 80g mozzarella, cut into 8 pieces METHOD Step 1 ~ Place the flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Add the chopped butter and use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Step 2 ~ Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and add the milk. Use a flat-bladed knife to stir the dough until it just comes together. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead briefly until mixture is smooth. Divide into 8 portions. Step 3 ~ Place the garlic and extra butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute or until melted. Stir through the chopped basil. Step 4 ~ Shape a piece of dough into an approximate 8cm disc. Dip a piece of mozzarella in the butter mixture and place in the centre of the dough disc. Bring the edges up to enclose and press edges to seal. Roll into a ball (the butter will ooze out and coat the bread ball). Continue with the remaining pieces of bread and mozzarella. Step 5 ~ Place four of the bread bombs, seam side down, in the pie maker. Cook for 6 minutes. Brush with some remaining butter mixture and turn over. Cook for a further 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Cook the remaining bread bombs. Serve scattered with extra basil leaves. Youre welcome Taste

23.01.2022 What is gait? Gait simply refers to the way a person walks. An abnormal gait can be caused by one or more parts of the body (such as the hips or knees) under-performing, which can lead to imbalances elsewhere in the body when moving. What is a gait analysis?... Gait analysis is a system of scientific analysis used by podiatrists to study how the body moves or its bio-mechanics and effects on the feet, hips, lower back and limbs. During gait analysis your bodys movements are observed, measured, recorded and assessed. Then a diagnosis can be made, and treatments can be prescribed for conditions which may be affecting your ability to walk, or are causing you recurring pain. What can it tell you about your body? Gait analysis can tell you a lot about your body and how you move. For example, if you are suffering hip pain, this could be related to the way you walk. You might be in-toeing (turning your feet inwards) or out-toeing (turning your feet outwards), and the compensation your muscles are making to keep you upright may be the cause of your pain. Or perhaps your knees or hips turn in, which can affect the quality of your movement a podiatrist doesnt just study the feet in a gait analysis. It is important to note that compensations in the body can lead to imbalance around the joints and the main muscles such as hamstrings, glutes, quads, and calves. This means those areas may become less active and end up contributing less than they should. A gait analysis will reveal such issues. If you are in pain, have had an accident, or are an athlete seeking to improve your performance, gait analysis conducted by a podiatrist is an essential diagnostic tool. What happens in a gait analysis? In a standard gait analysis you will be asked to stand, walk and run on a treadmill and probably on a normal floor too, with your motion possibly being filmed at various angles for playback and further observation. Sometimes sensors are used in more complex analyses. After that any necessary treatments and exercises to fix your specific issue can be prescribed. So give us a call to book in for yours - 9841 3633

20.01.2022 Did you know there are two kinds of sports injuries? Acute injuries happen suddenly and chronic injuries happen after you play a sport or exercise over a long period of time. With a lot of us now moving outdoors or to at home workouts, its an important time to ensure that youre taking care of you. ... Do you experience pain after exercising? Here are some of the most common sporting injuries, which can affect your legs and feet to explain why they occur, and how your podiatrist can help. Do you experience heel pain in the morning? Did you know that plantar fasciitis is the most common form of heel pain? While there are many reasons for morning foot pain, plantar fasciitis is common in runners and dancers.

Do you have a bruised toenail? This is caused by a haematoma. A haematoma is a bleed under the nail, which can be caused by ill-fitting shoes when running or hiking. The first thing you may want to do is check the fit of your shoes is correct and see your podiatrist if symptoms dont improve. Do you have painful knees or hips? Sore knees and hips are caused by many reasons, but often surprisingly, this pain can be caused by your gait, which is the way you walk. A podiatrist doesnt just focus on the feet, they can look at the biomechanics of your foot and lower limb region to assess the potential cause of any hip or knee pain. Do you have a painful ball of the foot? This can make walking or any exercise very challenging! You might have a stress fracture or a neuroma.

15.01.2022 ? Water is an essential part of a healthy balanced diet because the body relies on it to function properly. All the bodys chemical processes take place in water. We need water for digestion, to absorb nutrients, to help us move, get rid of waste products and to regulate our body temperature. If the body doesnt have enough water (known as dehydration), it wont function as well. People who dont drink enough water every day are at greate...r risk of kidney stones, problems with their heart valves and some kinds of cancer. Even minor dehydration can affect physical and mental performance. Water is also needed for the body to make saliva, which is important for washing food away from the teeth and helping you chew, taste, swallow and digest food. So, have you got a water bottle handy today?

07.01.2022 Looking after ageing feet For older people, most foot problems can be improved by regular maintenance and care, keeping weight down, shoe modification and use of cushioned insoles. To undertake regular foot maintenance, some elderly people have difficulty reaching their feet or have bad eyesight, so simple things like cutting toenails can be an issue if this is the case get a family member to help or pop in and see us. If you can cut your toenails yourself, make sure you ...trim them just short of the end of the toe, using a strong pair of nail clippers. After clipping, smooth the nails with a file or emery board, using downward strokes. It is also important to have your feet measured frequently as the bones in your feet change with age, this way you can ensure you choose shoes that fit well and are comfortable. Taking good care of your feet as you age is good for your foot health as it helps you stay active and mobile. If you have any queries (either for yourself or a loved one) please give us a call to make an appointment - 98413633.

05.01.2022 Maintain healthy nails A very common thing podiatrists see on a daily basis, are fungal nail infections, this is when the nail becomes discoloured, thickened and brittle. A few tips from us: To help avoid fungal nail infections, frequently wash and dry your feet, avoid going barefoot in public showers or pool areas (thongs are great to wear in public showers), dont wear the same pair of socks two days in a row, hang your socks inside out in the sun (UV light is a natural f...ungus killer), dont share footwear with other people, air your shoes regularly in the sun and try not to wear the same pair of shoes each day. We also suggest adding a drop of tea tree oil into your moisturiser, or adding a few drops to your washing, when washing socks. Making up a diluted spray and spraying your feet can help reduce the risk of fungal infection. Have you got any tried and tested things that you use?
