25.01.2022 Back to school means children are back to spending more time in shoes. 5 key factors to consider when buying school shoes: Shoe size. Is there enough room for growth, swelling and socks? Width. Is there enough width at the front of the shoe for a wide foot? Ankle support. Is it enough and does the alignment of leg look right?... Comfort. Is the shoe comfortable and are there any seams that could cause sore spots? Fixation. Are the laces and/or Velcro strong enough to secure the feet inside? http://footforce.com.au

By inserting a needle into a muscle’s trigger point, studies have shown that 4-6 sessions can: Improve blood flow Release knots and tension Reduce pain symptoms ... When done in conjunction with other therapies. Dry Needling to the leg and foot should always be done by a qualified practitioner. Get in touch for further information.

23.01.2022 Suffer from lower back pain? Well, remember ‘The Skeleton Dance’ song ??? The foot bone’s connected to the leg bone. The leg bone’s connected to the knee bone ... It really is all connected and therefore lower back pain can be triggered by abnormalities in the way you walk as a result of poor foot function. For example, if someone’s feet roll inwards too much, this can affect the alignment of a person knee and if the knee is out of alignment then that can affect the hips and consequently lead to lower back pain. Let us help you treat the cause and not just the symptoms!

22.01.2022 Stop heel pain ! ORTHOTICS Heel pain is a common symptom of stress on the arch/plantar fascia.

16.01.2022 Are your toes red, swollen, tender and itchy? It could be a condition known as Chilblains and common during the winter months. Why? you ask. Given that coldness causes our blood vessels to reduce in size, it is believed that with the sudden changes in temperature i.e. cold to warm, our blood vessels deposit fluid in the area, which causes the redness and swelling associated with Chilblains.... Simple home remedies include avoiding exposure to cold and applying lotion to alleviate itching, however you may require medicated creams and protective dressings. See your podiatrist if: your symptoms have been present for over 3 weeks you have diabetes you notice signs of infection Image taken from: Clinical Advisor.com

15.01.2022 Women’s Health Week ! Such a great initiative that is now a permanent feature on the Australian calendar. Women’s Health Week is about reminding women that getting regular health checks and making healthier choices is essential to living a healthier life. If you have missed your health check with a podiatrist due to COVID, now is a great time to do so. Your feet and legs can tell us a lot about your inner health. As podiatrists we understand the unique differences between t...he assessment and treatment of women compared to men. Whether it be related to changes in hormones or bone mineralisation, a podiatrist can help manage how your feet adapt. Don’t forget to sign up at www.womenshealthweek.com.au for online content and events to help you and other women make healthier choices.

13.01.2022 Suffering from what might be a Turf Toe injury? Turf toe is a sprain of the big toe and typically results from the excessive upward bending of the toe during running or other activities such as pushing a heavy wheelbarrow. These activities can cause the big toe joint to jam and over-stress ligamentous structures supporting the toe. Best way to ensure you recover and prevent this injury from occurring is to offload the joint by wearing supportive shoes that limit the fl...exion of the big toe. If you have been given orthotics, then these should be worn as they generally improve your foot function. For pain relief, initial treatment includes rest, ice, compression and elevation RICE ! Any questions? Feel free to send us a message Always best to consult your podiatrist for a diagnosis if pain persists. Please don't hold off from seeing your podiatrist. Podiatry is an essential service that is safe to attend and only those that comply with COVID-19 rules will be allowed in. Stay safe !

07.01.2022 Children’s orthotics are available at all our clinics and are designed in all shapes and sizes. Custom designed to the specifications set out in the podiatrist’s prescription, you’ll be sure to have an individualised product suited to your child’s needs. Young feet undergo many changes as bone develops and muscle strength increases. Whilst we encourage barefoot walking and active lifestyles, sometimes they need a little extra help to stay supported while these changes take place. Depending on your child’s development and foot function, orthotics are prescribed as either short term or long term use. Get in touch if you are having any concerns about your child’s feet.
