24.01.2022 Have you ever experienced an ankle that wont stop rolling? Once you roll your ankle once, it can often easily keep rolling again, again... and again! This is known as chronic ankle instability, or repetitive ankle ligament sprains. Ouch!... The bad news? The sprains happen when the ligaments, most likely on the outside of the foot (prevent inwards ankle movement), are torn and lose strength and flexibility. After an injury, your ability to control the ankle on an uneven surface is impaired and leaves you susceptible to further injury. The more damage to the ligaments = more unstable ankle = more likely to sprain again The GOOD news? Our podiatrists are experts in managing multiple sports injuries and have a particular interest in assessing, treating and managing sport and activity related foot and leg injuries! Our main priority is to treat your injury and get you back to activity as quickly and effectively as possible.

24.01.2022 As we shared the other week, weakened glutes can cause overbearing for the hamstrings and you can loosen up your hamstrings by strengthening your glutes! Two low impact glute exercises you can practice are: 1. Lying hamstring curls. Just place your feet on an exercise ball, with your back and arms on the ground, and slowly pull in the ball towards you and push it back out again. Remember to engage your core. ... 2. Kick backs. On your all fours, kick one leg back into the air, keeping your core engaged. Try this with both legs. Combine these exercises with simple thrusts and you're on your way to stronger glutes! #glutes See more

23.01.2022 Children dont often tell you if their shoes feel too small or they feel discomfort. We recommend that children get their feet measured regularly to prevent problems such as hammer toes, ingrown nails, corns, callouses and bunions. Poorly fitted shoes in childhood can cause many different foot, leg, gait, and posture problems, so getting the right ones are imperative!... #BetterFeetPodiatry See more

22.01.2022 "I had heel pain and didnt understand why! It stopped me from running and even from just walking around the house as much. I saw Jamie and he was brilliant. Had a great experience, he made me feel confident about how to go forward with a plan, then I can start running again." *Update* "I bought the HOKA ONE ONE shoes Jamie recommended and Im so excited. They fit perfectly and I feel like Im walking on a cloud. Ive also done what Jamie said and replaced my slippers at ...home and my heel feels a lot better already. Thank you Jamie!" - Gill Thank you Gill for your review and updates! We love seeing patients follow our suggestions. Looking forward to hearing more about your running journey when you get back on your feet again Gill! #Podiatrists #BetterFeetPodiatry #runners See more

20.01.2022 "Yesterday was my first ever visit to a podiatrist and it worked out to be most pleasurable as the people in attendance from reception, to the treatment by the personable Elaria, made such a difference when being a little apprehensive at the time. Earlier in the day I went for a reasonable walk and suffered no discomfort or pain which was great after experiencing a very painful last three to four days, so thank you all for a making the visit so pleasant and successful." ... Thank you for your feedback Ray, and well done Elaria for your fantastic service as always... were so proud of our caring and experienced team! #BetterFeetPodiatry #Podiatrist #Podiatry See more

20.01.2022 Chilblains occur when cold weather causes small blood vessels near the surface of your skin to tighten. Once you warm up, these small vessels may expand too quickly and this may cause blood to leak into nearby tissue, resulting in swelling. The swelling then irritates nerves in the affected area, causing pain. If you think you have chilblains on your feet, get in touch as we can help!... #Chilblains #BetterFeetPodiatry See more

20.01.2022 Incorporating these fun and easy stretches into your day-to-day is a great way to stay mobile, help prevent injuries, ease pain and unwind. Great post Roxanne from ZOI YOGA !

20.01.2022 Ankles... highly underrated yet highly important when it comes to mobility and overall body support! We love what @whitsfit_ has to say about ankles and ankle exercises in this post! As these exercises are advanced, we do recommend performing them under the provision of a health professional initially and taking your time to build up to them.... Ankle injuries are annoying to say the least. Its during those times that you realize how much your ankle works to keep you moving. Not only does it support your whole weight but it also changes where the weight is going to be on your foot depending on what you wanna do. This is why ankle stability and strength in the various angles matters. Here is a collection of my favourite advanced ankle sprain rehabilitation exercises. If you dont have a @bosu_fitness , a pillow or folded blankets would work as well. 1 Single Leg Balance 15-30 seconds (close your eyes to make it harder) . 2 Deadlift - works on your ability to shift the weight around the ankle. First couple ones, have a surface behind you to balance yourself if needed. 3 Lunges on a bosu - these are the moneymaker for me! If youre struggling with being able to drive through your ankle, whether its instability or pain, these will help a lot. 4 High Knees with a pause. Hold the pause for a count of one before going again. #strengthtraining #injuryprevention See more

19.01.2022 Today is R U OK Day and we want to encourage people to speak out, listen, and look out. - Speak out and share about how youre really feeling with trusted friends and family members. - Listen to those who are sharing how they are truely feeling without butting in. Ask how you can help. If you cant do anything to help practically, thats okay. Youre helping by listening. ... - Look out when youre out on your walks. Is anyone looking down? Ask how they are doing... you never know who may be feeling lonely and isolated. A stranger can still make a difference. #RUOKDAY #RUOK #Mentalhealth #Mentalhealthawareness See more

19.01.2022 1. Doing too much too soon: We get it. Motivation is at a new high at the start of the year... but take it slow. Even the best running shoes on the market won't stop you from getting injuries if you go from 0 to 100 with your new routine. Listen to your body and remember that any progress is still progress and should be celebrated! 2. Sticking to the same running route every time: Alternating your running track, pace and terrain is a great way to improve your overall fitne...ss. 3. Not wearing the right shoes: No... those worn out trainers from 5 years ago won't do. For beginner runners, we recommend visiting your local Podiatrist to get your gait, posture, and feet assessed. Podiatrists can make sure you get the right runners for your unique feet and body. This will help prevent any unwanted and painful injuries. 4. Ignoring your body: There's a difference between pushing through pain then just overdoing it. Before and after each run, complete a self assessment and ask: - Do I have any pains that just don't feel right? - Is my muscle soreness prolonged? - Do I keep getting sick? - What's my energy like? - Am I experiencing irritability or fatigue? 5. You're not checking your form or cross-training to improve your strength and flexibility: Did you know that if you have weak glutes, tight hip flexors or tight quads, your form could be off? Improper running form can lead to injuries that may lead to major setbacks. We recommend following running coaches like @coachstedotcom to find out more about this in particular.

18.01.2022 Looking for new habits to add to your home routine? Consider taking time to elevate your legs whilst meditating or having some quiet time! Elevating your legs has many benefits for overall health and well-being like: Helps reduce swelling by promoting the mobility of fluids in your legs.... Helps relieve tired and sore muscles by draining tension. Gives you the benefits of many stretches and yoga postures without the additional strain or effort. Stretch and circle your feet while theyre elevated and your foot mobility could also improve greatly over time, strengthening your feet and decreasing chances of injury! #loveyourfeet See more

17.01.2022 Melbourne and metropolitan areas will re-enter stage 3 lockdown as of midnight tonight. However Allied Health Professionals, including Podiatrists, are still able to practice in clinics. This means we will be remaining open to treat those in need. This will help take pressure off GP clinics and hospitals. As we have done throughout Covid, we will be maintaining the highest levels of infection control and sanitation standards within our clinic and social distancing will still ...be in place. Thank you for your cooperation and keep safe! The Better Feet Podiatry team :)

16.01.2022 Because there are quite a few potential causes, it is important to have heel pain properly diagnosed... One of the main causes however, is Plantar Fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis occurs when there is an inflammation of the band of tissue (the plantar fascia) that extends from the heel to the toes.... Other symptoms include: - Pain in the arch of the foot - Pain that is usually worse upon arising - Pain that increases over a period of months - Swelling on the bottom of the heel If you're concerned about any pain you have, please send us a message. We're always happy to help! See more

16.01.2022 A few ways to prevent calluses... Stretch your calves daily! If your calf muscles are tight you may be walking and standing on the balls of your feet, thus causing uneven pressure on certain areas, which can cause calluses. Avoid wearing tight shoes, being sure both shoe width and length are correct and allowing up to a half-inch between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. If you cant wiggle your toes in your shoes, theyre too tight.... Try to decrease heel height as much as possible. Have your shoes repaired regularly, or replace them. Worn soles give little protection from the shock of walking on hard surfaces and worn linings can chafe your skin and harbour bacteria. If the soles or heels of your shoes tend to wear unevenly, see a podiatrist about corrective shoes or insoles. #BetterFeetPodiatry #Calluses See more

15.01.2022 How do you work at home? This video from The Natural Life-stylist is a great reminder to keep moving in creative ways throughout the day to avoid long periods of bad posture. Stand, lie down, sit, crouch... do whatever it takes to stay mobile throughout lockdown.

14.01.2022 FACT: Feet that are tight can lead to less flexibility and make you more prone to injuries including plantar fasciitis. Heres an easy and simple exercise you can perform at home (its more fun when done in funky socks), to help you stretch your feet and toe joints and maintain flexibility.

13.01.2022 "I have a random heel pain and not sure why" We know you love them, but you might just have to say goodbye to those "trusted worn in slippers"...and we have a sneaky suspicion weve mentioned that before.

13.01.2022 A little niggle in the body can certainly be enough to put anyone off pursuing new fitness goals. However, there are many low impact exercises you can do that will help you to keep moving and get stronger while having fun! #holistichealth

13.01.2022 Dont you change the subject! #Podiatrists #Podiatrist #BetterFeetPodiatry

13.01.2022 1. Did you know children's feet can grow half a size or more every 2 to 4 months? Making sure your child gets their feet measured for the correct fit is essential each time you buy them a new pair of school shoes. Any ill-fitting shoes are a recipe for bad posture, foot deformities, and pain in various areas of the body. 2. Children's school shoes are worn almost every day! They get scuffed, splashed, stomped on, and as the shoes get worn out it is important to replace t...hem to maintain good foot and body health. 3. On-trend shoes can often feature raised heels, stiff soles, or a tight fit. When a child's feet are developing, they should be given a full range of movement. Heels are an absolute no no as they can create posture and gait issues in the future and contribute towards foot, leg, and back pains. A great brand for school shoes that we can recommend is VIVOBAREFOOT Australia & New Zealand #Schoolshoes #Backtoschool See more

11.01.2022 SCHOOL SHOES... Parents, please read the below. The school shoes you buy for your children can really impact their foot health, posture, gait and much more. We love what PaperKrane have to say about shoes! ... When we wear shoes that aren't shaped like feet a couple of things can happen... . Our feet become moulded over time to take the shape of those shoes. We can develop bunions where our big toe is being forced inwards towards our other toes, those other toes can be forced in and under, curling to fit the narrow space in the front of the shoe... Corns, hammer toes, redness, blisters can appear. . Most "normal shoes" will also have a slight heel raise, even the ones that look flat from the outside can hide a heel inside, just a few mms of raised heel can affect your posture. . Many modern footwear brands also add a lot of cushioning and "support", which means our feet don't receive feedback from the ground, and our muscles can become lazy when the shoe "support" is doing the work for you. . Who knew that feet and shoes could have such an impact on our entire bodies?! See more

08.01.2022 How can calluses be prevented? - Wear shoes that aren't tight and fit well.

Wash your feet in warm soapy water, dry them and apply a moisturising foot cream. This helps keep your skin soft and supple.... - Keep your toenails trimmed. - Keep your feet dry if you have sweaty feet.

08.01.2022 Happy first day of spring! As the end to stage 4 lockdown starts to near (hopefully!), we can guess that there will be many who are thinking about starting to get into shape for the more warmer days. We do understand the desire to feel summer ready, but would love to suggest an alternative to "get fit and healthy quickly" methods.... These sudden and intense new fitness schedules can lead to injuries and pains as the body may not have had the chance to get used to new moves and intensities. Many people also start new fitness plans without thinking about their other priorities, which means they give up quickly on the huge expectations theyve placed on themselves. Here are a couple of tips for sustainable fitness you can keep up through each season, so you wont feel the need to make drastic changes every spring: - Write down your priorities and then plan your exercise and movement around what matters to you most. For example, if you work long days or nights, and want to spend the remaining hours with your family, think about how you can incorporate movement with your family in small ways. Walks, jogs, garden obstacle courses... get creative! - Start to introduce simple and effective habits to your day that when done over time, will positively impact your mobility and decrease chances of injuries. One great habit is stretching 15 minutes before getting into bed or while dinner is cooking. Another could be incorporating a resistance workout into your Netflix nights! #sustainableexercise See more

06.01.2022 What is Joint Hypermobility Syndrome? You can have hypermobile joints that in most cases, won't cause you any trouble. However, Joint Hypermobility Syndrome is when you have very flexible joints that cause you pain. How can you tell if you have it? ... - Pain and stiffness in the joints and muscles - Clicking joints - Joints that dislocate (come out of the correct position) easily - Fatigue (extreme tiredness) - Recurrent injuries such as sprains - Digestive problems such as constipation and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) - Dizziness and fainting - Thin or stretchy skin How can it impact you? Certain hypermobile joints can be at risk of injury, such sprained ligaments. If you have hypermobile joints in your lower limbs and feet that are causing you problems, Podiatrists can help ease pain through providing strengthening exercises and physical therapy. #Hypermobility See more

06.01.2022 Fantastic visual by Nutri-Train By JC, that shows how the shoes we wear daily can either restrict our movement and natural form, or support our natural form and give our toes space!

01.01.2022 Sometimes, when we have a pain that crops up out of nowhere, we have a tendency to self-medicate and hope that symptoms will just go away. However, if the pain stops you from going about your day as usual or completing exercises, this is an indicator that medical intervention is required. Among the symptoms that should prompt you to visit your doctor or podiatrist are:... - Deformity in some areas - Pain and Swelling - Sensation changes - Changes to gait, Limping, Loss of function - Toenail color changes - Change of skin colour - Affected areas are tender and warm to touch If youre unsure of your symptoms, send us a message or give us a call on: (03) 9588 2348 #BetterFeetPodiatry See more
