23.01.2022 Dr Brenden + with his two girls Maddy + Lotte, early Sunday on the way to teach about 100 GPs about "Growing Pain". BB is our principle Podiatrist and has been working with kids Foot + Ankle pain for over 20 years! Passing on the message that "There is no such thing as Growing Pains" is all part of what we love! The more we teach other Doctors what we know to be true the more kids we end up helping ... Yep terrible picture but thats what you get at 7am on a Sunday morning in a bumpy car! We are a small family run business in Western Sydney. Our expertise is looking after Kids Foot + Ankle Pain. What we lack in being fancy + in size we make up in experience and passion for what we do! We love helping kids Run Skip or generally just be kids "pain free" If your little one has problems or pain we would LOVE to be able to help! Our number is +61 2 9673 2987 if youd like to know more or perhaps reserve an appointment time wed love to hear from you.

23.01.2022 There is love in the air at the clinic!

22.01.2022 Because some days you just get a picture because you smile a lot (and maybe because you hand out a lot of Freddo frogs)

21.01.2022 Strength exercise are one of the protocols we help our patients with. Alex has some i n-t o e i n g, these are some of the exercises we do together to get him straight and tall! (Tall he does very well all by himself!)

21.01.2022 This is Ibrahim Cute little fella! Ibrahim is the little cousin of one of our staff members Fatemah! Ibrahims mum noticed him about a year ago walking with an intoe. Unfortunately for Ibrahim this also resulted in lots of tripping and falling making him appear very clumsy hes very good at that (being clumsy) was his mothers words. They have previously been told simply by Medicos he will grow out of it. ... We believe in patients being happy, healthy, and active. Why wait? And then also - WILL HE REALLY GROW OUT OF IT? We fitted Ibrahim up with soft pliable orthotics into his awesome ASICs shoes! We have also begun to slowly introduce gluteal exercises into his treatment plan. Gotta get those Glutes firing! BUT - First step: STOP W-sitting! Here we can see Ibrahim on the left sitting in a poor position that can lead to increased intoeing. Ibrahim has learnt now though to sit in the correct position as seen in the photo on the right side. Well done Ibrahim - you little man are a CHAMP!

19.01.2022 We LOVE HELPING kids!

18.01.2022 So your kiddlet needs orthotics? Every wondered what it takes to get an orthotic ready? Isnt it just making an arch?? What makes it custom made? What are some of the tests we complete? When we prescribe customised orthotics we complete about 20 - 25 tests. ... A large part of part of the assessment is video gait analysis. We do this either on a flat surface in the clinic or we pop our patients on to one of our treadmills. Dependent on needs we may film and assess the different types of gait - running or walking! We arent simply focused on the movements occurring in your feet and around your ankles we are looking at your entire body, head to toes! We combine this with other testing and then send to Dr Brenden our principal Podiatrist to design a customised orthotics specifically for YOU! Final step - we manufacture it in our own onsite Laboratory! But thats worth another post!!! Got questions on how to help your kids lets stay active stay happy stay healthy? Hit us up we would love to help!

04.01.2022 This is Josh hes one of our fabulous patients. Josh was have a few problems with his running and walking. He loved his sport but after training was often tired and sore his mum said. She also noticed that while Josh loved being active and running around at the end of a day he sometimes would trip and fall towards the end of a big day on his feet When Josh came for his appointment we checked out his run and walk patterns and after chatting to his mum we developed a care pla...n to get him back to happy healthy and active. See Joshs feet were rolling in too much and creating the muscles to over work! A 3D scan was taken of Joshs feet, we recorded his walk and run patterns and measured how his joints were working. Dr Brenden our principal Podiatrist used our computer aided design software to design his custom made soft and pliable orthotics After a month of wearing his new orthotics Josh can now run and play sport with no pain, no pain at all! He is walking with better foot posture and foot is looking very straight in his devices. His mum is super happy! Its nice to see you kids love sport and time outside again! Josh says he absolutely loves his new orthotic insoles - they are soft and he wears them all the time! The picture is Josh in his brand new boots ready to go for his first training session in them! With a Big thumbs up from Dr Ken one of our podiatrist! Helping kids is NOT about simply getting kids out of pain! We hear a lot about practitioners telling kids to simply stop sport! Kids need to be active! They should run, play sport, jump all pain free! A massive thanks to Josh and his mum for putting their faith in us to make things right! Its awesome to see kids get better its what we love doing! If you know of someone who may be needing to read this please SHARE this post! If youd like more information or ask about how we can help.

03.01.2022 Netball season!! Got your Netti on?

02.01.2022 Do your kids love their sport as much as Ben?? Are they looking to get back to what they love? What is holding them back? Ben is a very high level gymnastics athlete and he came in to see us because for 8 months + he has been suffering with pain in the arch. He has previously tried physios and different specialists for opinions and treatments but never quite achieved being pain free! He trains 27 hours per week at least! ?? Legend!!!... We identified that he had irritated his tibialis posterior muscle and diagnosed as tibialis posterior tendinosis. (Its a muscles that runs down the back of your leg and controls your arch.) We have used customised orthotics to correct and support his foot posture. This helped on its own enormously!!! In this video Dr Ken our Podiatrist is working with Ben on strengthening his leg foot and ankle using a single dumbbell for distribution of weight side to side while his ankle is kept still. Easy? Give it a try! This is about getting your entire lower limb to work together - Glutes quads lower lower leg muscles!!! A couple of months later despite 27+ hours a week of gymnastics training Ben has significantly reduced discomfort to almost no pain YUP he is very happy! ?? Have you just been prescribed orthotics with no attempt to rehab your muscles ? Whaaaaaaaat??? Lets talk

02.01.2022 Big smiles from the great kids that came to visit our team this week. BB, Dr Nina and Miss Karlie and friends

01.01.2022 Ever wonder if the chemist orthotics work as well as everyone suggests? Are they just all arch supports? We recently fitted a custom orthotics designed for Olivias feet. She came in to see us because she was waking up in the morning with sore feet. She is 11 years old and shes tried chemist innersoles to support her arches but no luck with getting the pain better. Why did this happen? ... Have you noted the reading glasses you can now buy from your local chemist. No one ever thinks to themselves that these glasses made from simply magnified glass are going to be the same as those that you would have prescribed for you after an optometrist has done a detailed assessment and has measured and fitted your glasses specifically to you. Now consider the insoles you can buy from the chemist. Is it likely that these simple one size fits all insoles will be the same as a pair of orthotics that your Podiatrist specifically custom makes, designs, measures and fits to your foot type and the problem that you are having! Insoles from the chemist maybe a great short term fix, getting you out of trouble in a jam but ....... Back to lovely Olivia! We have identified from assessments of Olivia that it was the Tibialis Posterior tendon and the achilles tendon overworking during her normal day at school and gymnastics and gym exercises. We looked further and discovered her foot type and identified it as a pes planus (Rolled in foot type). We will review Olivia for a orthotic check up in 4 weeks time! (Just quietly we are a little excited because we often get great results with these custom devices in kids) We have also shown her isometric exercises to work on in the mean time to develop her muscular strength and to work in combination with her new orthotics.

01.01.2022 What do you do when you see a health professional but you dont get better? What do you do when you are told its just growing pains? What do you do despite all the stretching your child can manage they are still no better??? Meet Isaac! Isaac visited our clinic because he had really, really painful heels. Isaacs Mum had noticed that by the end of the day Isaac seemed to always be walking on his toes or limping because of his sore feet. Unfortunately, this was making it hard...er and harder to participate in sport. This had been going on for about 12 months. Isaac visited another podiatrist which did not eventuate into any positive results, this is when we met Isaac. Enter Dr Ryan our Podiatrist We diagnosed Isaac as having Severs disease a very common condition in children around Isaacs age, who are active. What did we do? First, Dr Ryan suggested get Isaac into some new kicks ASICs! We then fit him up with some customised orthotics to control his foot posture as his foot posture meant a lot of his muscles were overworking. We then undertook some soft tissue rehabilitation 7 sessions of deep connective tissue massage with some myofascial release and a stretching AND strengthening program. It has been four months since our last rehab session and Isaac still has a smile on his face! So does Dr Ryan He is COMPLETELY PAIN FREE! - WOOHOO!!! Theres no more pain at the end of the day and no limping. But most importantly, Isaac can now participate in sport to his full potential again! We will be seeing Isaac again just as his footy season begins so we can touch base and continue to make sure we are on the right track.

01.01.2022 This little guy makes us smile!! Hes tough he has been battling warts on his feet and is NO quitter! There is an old story that says if you pay kids for their warts they will drop off - at MKFD we are happy use any theory that works (within reason ) so here BB is giving him 2 dollars after losing a wart! Sounds like a fair deal!

01.01.2022 How can your Kids Foot Dr help with pain in your childs KNEES?? Do knees relate to feet ??? Do we address just muscles will it fix this to help you to pain free? Read on and lets see! This is Liezl, and Liezl has pain on the inside of her knees! Liezl does A LOT of activity from running, to swimming, to basketball she does not stop! We dont want her to stop either! (RUN Liezl RUN ) We want to keep Liezl moving, because nothing is better than keeping people happy,... healthy, and active. However, the pain has been causing quite a few issues where now Liezl wants to reduce the amount of activity she is doing we dont think this is such a good idea. Liezl has seen a physiotherapist who has given her some stretching and strengthening exercises. We most definitely AGREE with this! However, we also believe it is important to address the cause of the pain rather than just treating the symptoms. During our initial assessment of Liezl, we noticed that her knees were rotating in quite significantly this can put a lot of stress through her knee joint. What was causing this though? Well, we took a look at her foot posture and noticed she was rolling in (or pronating) excessively which can cause the knees to rotate more than they should as well. In Sport Medicine / Podiatry, sometimes we need to think a little bit like engineers. We need to look at what is going wrong, but then also look at the structures above and below that could be causing a particular issue. In our cool little Boomerang, we can actually see how much Liezls knees move in when her feet roll in. Our goal: fix the foot posture to support the knee! We are really excited for Liezl to get her orthotics, and we will make sure to let everyone know how she is going! IF YOU ARE TOLD JUST TO STOP ACTIVITY - ask why!!!
