25.01.2022 It's wound awareness week! One of the main types of wounds we see at Border Podiatry Centre are those related to Diabetes. If you have Diabetes you are more susceptible to developing pressure wounds or wounds that are slow to heal. As Podiatrists we are here to educate you in the best ways to prevent you from developing a wound, and as they say prevention is better than a cure. This is very true when it comes to wounds. Often if you make a few small changes you can consider...ably reduce the chances of developing an ulcer or a wound. Ask our team if you'd like to know more about how to keep your legs healthy and well and avoid developing nasty wounds.

25.01.2022 It's wound awareness week! Did you know that Podiatrists are trained in providing high risk wound care and management? Podiatrists see and treat a variety of wounds ranging from chronic ulcers caused by high pressure, ulcers due to vein and circulation issues, and acute wounds due to trauma. We're actually very good at looking after wounds on the feet and lower legs so if you or someone you know has a slow healing sore don't forget to think of us. At Border Podiatry Centre we're fully trained and equipped to provide you with the very best of care.

24.01.2022 And Victorian parents breathe a collective sigh of relief as its time to go back to school (again)! With June 9 just around the corner its time to get those school shoes out. Dont forget to check that they still fit. Quite often kids wont think to tell parents when their shoes are getting too tight and its an easy thing to miss. Tight shoes can lead to a host of little issues that are much better avoided. At Border Podiatry Centre were the experts when it comes to little feet so if you feel like your child would benefit from a check up please dont hesitate to call us on 60245577.

24.01.2022 It makes our day when patients arrive at their appointment with thoughtful hand made gifts

23.01.2022 Did you know that its really important for a growing child to go barefoot as much as possible where its safe and practical? If children wear hard soled shoes from the moment they are walking they dont get the chance to strengthen the right muscles and tendons in their legs, feet and toes. Over time these muscles lose tone and when children do occasionally run barefoot they will notice soreness or achiness. Of course its not always safe or sensible for your little one to be barefoot. So then what? Look for summer shoes that attach to your childs feet securely and that have a flexible sole. Sandals with straps and breathable shoes are the best option.

22.01.2022 With local sport set to start in the coming weeks and many clubs beginning to train again, we're set to see some common injuries resurfacing. These include heel pain, arch pain, shin splints and ankle instability. Don't put any of these issues off. Call our team at Border Podiatry Centre on 60245577 and let us sort your feet out so you can get back to doing what you love!

22.01.2022 Important tips to keep in mind when buying new shoes for kids this coming summer: Shoes for your child need to be carefully fitted. They shouldn't be too long or too short. 1.5cm Is more than enough room to allow for growth. Any longer any they will be more inclined to stumble and trip. They should have a nice firm heel counter to support the foot. If you can find enclosed heel sandals for summer, they make great daycare shoes and are good for days where your child will ...be walking long distances. They need to be checked regularly for size. Every 8-12 weeks is a good rule of thumb. Often children won't tell you if their shoes are too tight. They need to have a fastening mechanism such as laces, a buckle or a velcro strap. While slip on shoes and thongs are handy, they cause the toes to claw and grip. Remember that poor fitting shoes can contribute to toe deformities, bunions, corns and callus later in life as well as muscle imbalances and flat feet. They can also make growing pains worse.

21.01.2022 At Border Podiatry Centre we know how important it is to look after little feet. We have a wide selection of Attipas shoes and all styles are $35.

14.01.2022 There are many different causes of foot pain, but no matter what the cause it's never a good idea to ignore it and hope it goes away. Every day we see people who have been suffering unnecessarily with foot pain. Whether it be from a sore corn, a painful heel or something more serious, don't put off looking after your feet. Happy feet mean a happy you. Call us on 60245577 to see one of our fantastic podiatrists and put foot pain behind you.

14.01.2022 Here are four really good reasons to keep your little ones out of thongs this summer. 1. The piece of material that sits between the large toe and the second toe can damage or irritate the tendons between the toes. The rubbing can also result in friction blisters and hard skin developing. 2. When walking in thongs, toes must "grip" the innersole in order to keep the thong on their foot. Children arent generally very good at this until theyve had a lot of practice resulting ...in thongs that come off easily, and an increase in tripping and falling. Gripping also fatigues little muscles and the childs legs will tire more quickly. 3. Toe-gripping shortens the natural stride length and will affect a childs gait pattern. 4. Thongs offer no protection for the toes or the top of the feet. So while thongs might be the easy option they are certainly not the best option. As always common sense is key. For short trips to the pool or beach they can be practical, but if your child is going to be on their feet and running around for any length of time opt for a sandal or pair of runners.

14.01.2022 Just a reminder that as of tomorrow all clients will be asked to wear a mask while attending the clinic as per current health guidelines. Rest assured we are still open and will remain open as we are providing essential health care services to our local community. All staff are up to date with Covid19 infection control policies and we are continuing to ensure a safe and hygienic environment. If you have any concerns please dont hesitate to contact us on 02 60245577.

09.01.2022 Were now half way through summer and many of us have been surviving in thongs for the last month or so. A certain percentage of people will be noticing some new aches and pains as a result. Tired feet, aching arches and heels...unfortunately thongs provide zero support for your feet and having to grip with every step you take wears your feet out. Podiatrist Charlotte Bodell says, she wouldnt recommend wearing thongs as your shoe for the day or while walking a lot. "I would ...say people should wear thongs for no longer than 20 minutes," she advises.Your toes are grabbing, your arch is overworked, and it can lead to pain, calluses on the apex of your toes and the balls of the feet." A great option over summer is a pair of thongs that have an arch support like Archies, Vionic or Orthaheel thongs. These brands all have arch support build in to the foot bed. for more options and ideas for supportive summer shoes click the link below. https://www.smh.com.au//when-your-rubber-thongs-break-buy-

Leaving ingrowing nails and trying to manage them yourself can lead to chronic infection and often nail surgery. If you have an ingrowing nail that is causing pain call us at Border Podiatry Centre on 60245577 to book an appointment and have the problem fixed straight away.

07.01.2022 TO OUR VALUED CLIENTS RE: COVID-19 As many of you are aware there are now confirmed cases of COVID-19 within Australia. We wanted to take this opportunity to update you on our clinic procedures that have been implemented in relation to the virus in our attempt to protect you and the community.

Extra cleaning by staff is also taking place to ensure that high contact areas are disinfected frequently throughout the day. Your help in keeping everyone safe & healthy is greatly appreciated!

07.01.2022 As podiatrists we know that baby walkers can negatively impact a childs development if used frequently, but its also important to know that they can result in serious injuries if children are left in them unsupervised. Our advice...stick with plenty of tummy time instead.

01.01.2022 Summer school holidays are soon coming to an end which means the kids will be getting back into school shoes again. Its a great time to get them fitted properly to ensure theyre in the right size and shoe for them. A childs foot is constantly growing and changing. Between birth and the age of 4 feet double in length with growth of up to 10mm per year! So if it feels like your child is outgrowing their shoes long before they wear out, this is why! The most noticeable change...s to foot length occur between 9 and 11 years of age. Poorly fitting school shoes whether too big or too small can cause damage to a childs feet.Thats why its SO important to check shoe fit regularly. A couple of places you can go to have your child fitted by experts are The Athletes Foot and Evans Shoes. And of course if you have any concerns regarding your childs feet contact us at Border Podiatry Centre on 60245577.
