20.01.2022 Having one pair of shoes you LOVE is good. Two is even better, medically speaking. When you're wearing closed in shoes every day, you are constantly compressing and putting pressure on the materials. As your feet may sweat or they may get wet in the rain, they become damp. When they're damp, they wear down faster. This all means a SHORTER lifespan for your faves - and more money spent faster to replace them.... Our pro tip? Have TWO pairs of closed-in shoes you love and wear regularly, and alternate between them. This will give them a chance to dry and bounce back, and will prolong the lifespan of BOTH pairs

14.01.2022 With so many restrictions and events this year, there's a good chance that taking advantage of your extras benefits with your private health fund has been the last thing on the priority list.

If you've never had a pair of orthotics before, or are wondering what other podiatry services you can use your rebate for, we've described it all here: https://www.myfootdr.com.au//are-you-about-to-miss-out-on/

13.01.2022 Why do feet and legs swell during pregnancy? It occurs as the blood flow back from your legs is restricted, as at around 5 months, your: Blood volume increases by about 50% ... Uterus can put pressure on anything surrounding it You have more hormones in your system that cause you to stretch more easily To help, elevate your feet and legs above the level of your hips (or heart if you're happy lying down) to allow the blood to return easier, and drink plenty of water to help promote healthy kidney function.

11.01.2022 It's World Diabetes Day In 2019, one in eleven adults were diagnosed with diabetes - but one in two adults remain undiagnosed. Getting a diagnosis is important because you get the care and the knowledge you need to take the best care of your health - including looking after feet.... As podiatrists, we play a massive role in helping manage the feet and legs in those affected by diabetes, with the goal being to keep the sensation and circulation in your feet 'controlled' - meaning we help you manage your risks and help prevent complications like foot ulcers. If you've been recently diagnosed with diabetes - or have had diabetes for some time but aren't sure about the effects on your feet - book an appointment with us today. We're here to help.

11.01.2022 Many people have been lied to about #heelpain If you've ever been told you have #heelspurs just because you have painful heels, then today our 250+ Podiatrists would like to set the record straight. Just because you have heel pain or #plantarfasciitis, does NOT mean you have heel spurs! Here are the facts:... Heel spurs tend to develop over a long period of time, meaning that if you've just started having heel pain for the first time, it's unlikely that you have a heel spur and that it is the cause of your pain Heel spurs tend to develop alongside conditions like ongoing plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinopathy, meaning your heel pain is likely to have started before they were even present If you do have a heel spur, it doesn't mean that you need treatment for it. The majority of patients we treat with heel spurs have pain as a result of their plantar fasciitis or achilles problems - not the spur itself. Once we help them treat the cause of their heel pain, their pain tends to settle regardless of whether they have a heel spur or not Studies have been conducted that found that within a sample of people x-rayed, many will have a heel spur with NO heel pain (and that have heel pain and NO heel spur) So before you start worrying about your heel spur, come in for an assessment with our team so we can find out what is REALLY causing your heel pain - and help you with that.

08.01.2022 Our podiatrists spend at least four years learning everything we can about your feet and legs, warning signs, problems, and how to treat them. This means that when it comes to your assessment - whether you've come in for a leg injury or an ingrown toenail, we always stay mindful of the bigger picture and everything that's going on with your feet and legs. This means we can detect other problems, signs of infection that may have otherwise been missed, and health conditions where the early signs often start in the feet.

07.01.2022 When you have foot or #legpain or an #injury, your SHOE is NOT just a shoe. We actually look at it like a medical device that's going to keep your feet stable, controlled and supported throughout your #recovery They're going to control how much your ankle rolls freely from side to side, the way you put pressure through areas of the foot, the force and shock that goes through your bones when you take a step - and MUCH more.... That's why #footwear is such an important part of your treatment plan. You need to keep walking, right? But if the way you walk is one of the reasons you've developed that pain in the first place, then what's going to stop your pain from getting worse instead? That's right - your shoes. And some orthotics if we assess that you need them. Your shoes will become the ground you walk on - and you want that ground to be helping your recovery - not slowing it down. Need help finding the right shoes for your feet and your life? Our knowledgeable team can help!

02.01.2022 Want to encourage your child to start walking if they're having a bit of trouble getting there themselves? Playing together, encouraging movement (like crawling), and helping your child feel safe in their play space to explore walking may all help develop your baby’s skills and confidence when it comes to walking. As your baby begins to pull themselves up onto furniture, help them learn how to sit back down by showing them how to bend their knees. When they're ready, help them hold onto your arms and walk with them.
