25.01.2022 Orthotics.. what are they and how do they work? Orthotics help to even out the load/force/pressure going through a foot and even other joints such as the knee. They are often used in a treatment plan which includes exercises (no escaping them) #orthotics #biomechanics #plantarfasciitis #flatfeet #heelpain #foothealth #feet #podiatrist #hkpodiatry

23.01.2022 A double leg heel raise with a ball is one of our go to exercises. We use it when people can't correctly do a single leg heel raise, which is great for strengthening the ankle. The ball between the ankle ques the Tibialis Posterior muscle, keeping that ankle and arch strong. The foot shouldn't move laterally (outwards). Forefoot and barefoot runners, you need this!! This client present with left arch and lateral forefoot pain. Without the ball queing her, the left foot was moving laterally. Even with the ball, you can see the left heel doesn't invert (turn in) as well as the right but it's on it's way #doublelegheelraise #singlelegheelraise #strengthandconditioning #tibialisposterior #runners #running #barefootrunning #barefootrunner #barefoot #forefoot #forefootstrike #toerunner #runstrong #footstrong #pronation #hkpodiatry

16.01.2022 When podiatrists become the patients! Thanks to the very clever Ozan at @podiatricsurg for showing us how to do tibial blocks pain free! Thanks to @prillee for being so gentle A tibial block numbs the plantar or bottom part of the foot. They can be used either diagnostically such as confirming a nerve impingement which can result in heel pain or for surgerical procedures such as removal of plantar warts. ... . . . #tibialblock #tibialnerve #medialplantarnerve #lateralplantarnerve #heelpain #tarsaltunnel #footpain #nerveblock #localanesthetic #surgery #podiatricsurgery #plantarwart #verrucaepedis #shoeontheotherfoot See more

15.01.2022 Listening to your heart in your foot! Yes it's possible A doppler is a test we use on many of our clients to measure the blood flow to their feet. It's a very important test in diabetics who can have reduced blood flow leading to diabetic foot ulcers. #foothealth #foothealthweek #doppler #dopplerultrasound #triphasic #biphasic #diabeticfoot #diabetes #diabeticfootulcer #footulcer #podiatry #podiatrist #hkpodiatry

15.01.2022 Great image by @myfootfunction showing how shoes DO change your foot shape Unfortunately we also see irreversible ingrown or thickened toenails and painful dermal lesions such as corns from poor fitting shoes. It's real people! A good fitting shoe will ... fasten onto the foot with a strap or laces have enough depth, length and width around the toes allowing them to wiggle freely. This is important for good foot function at toe off (push off from the ground) We too like pretty and trendy shoes So to comprise we suggest you must wear good fitting shoes 80% of the time (sport, work and school %) leaving those not so good shoes for special occassions, like the dance floor #footwear #footfunction #bunions #hammertoes #HAV #shoes #shoe #podiatry #hkpodiatry #barefoot #forefoot

11.01.2022 It's Foot Health Week... all week! We want you to know all the cool things about feet so stay tuned for all things feet! Ever wondered what the difference between a chiropodist and a podiatrist is?? In short a chiropodist does general foot care where a podiatrist does all things feet! ... #foothealthweek #foothealth #feet #podiatrist #hkpodiatry

08.01.2022 And just like that HK Podiatry has moved into a brand new home. We're so excited to have you visit us at 120 Cahors Rd, Padstow 9771 4440. We'll still be at 496 Bunnerong Rd, Matraville #hkpodiatry #newhome #podiatry #foothealth #footstrong #padstow @ Padstow, New South Wales, Australia

08.01.2022 Bunions.. what are they and what can be done?? A bunion, also know as hallux valgus is when the big toe moves towards the litte toe making a misaligned lump on the side of the foot. Causes.. bunions are mostly due to poor foot function. This can be due to a hereditary foot posture or weaknesses in the foot and ankle. Poor fitting shoes also play a big part.... What can be done... correcting foot function is key to stopping further changes. This is done with a combination of exercises, footwear changes and orthotics. Surgery is an option but should always be considered once all non-surgical options are exhausted. What about those braces you ask. They will help improve to position of the big toe but won't fix the underlying cause. . . . . #foothealth #bunion #hav #halluxvalgus #footstrength #podiatrist #hkpodiatry

03.01.2022 What can literally walk into the clinic Monday morning This lady reported a sudden onset of pain, marked swelling and bruising two weeks ago on her last days of a European holiday. She presented on Monday as she'd been 'too busy' to come in before now. This xray says it all! While there was no significant traumatic event, poor biomechanical foot function coupled with osteopenia (reduced bone density) increases the risk of foot fractures, especially the 2nd metatarsal. This ...lady will head to surgery. Post op we'll focus on foot and ankle strengthening as well as fit her with orthotics to even out those ground reaction forces. Moral of the story.. got foot pain, get it checked out . . . . #footpain #forefoot #fracture #metatarsal #secondmetatarsal #osteopenia #podiatry #orthotics #biomechanics #hkpodiatry See more
