18.01.2022 We know there are a lot of feet in desperate need of some TLC... but this is too much Hopefully we can have you back in the clinic in a few weeks to get things back on track In the meantime, if you need to care for your own feet here are some simple tips:... Use a pumice stone or emery board to file down any rough, calloused skin Apply cream daily... if you need something a little stronger then Dermal Heel Balm is a great option (stocked at the clinic) Cut your nails straight across and file any sharp edges Avoid using corn pads as they can make the situation worse. Our Podiatrists can carefully manage cracked heels, corns and other skin and nail conditions, so if you have any questions please call the clinic on 94805522. #podiatry #preston #selfcare #ouch

18.01.2022 The countdown is on there are just 4 weeks of appointments left before Christmas So, if seeing a Podiatrist or Myotherapist has been on your to-do list this year, now is the time!!

16.01.2022 Diabetes can have devastating effects on feet, and in some cases can be the first thing that indicates someone may be suffering from diabetes. So, what is Diabetes? what are the signs/symptoms?; and ... what can Podiatrists do to prevent and manage foot complications? Read our blog here to find out more: http://www.northernpodiatry.com.au//diabetes-foot-health-/ To book a diabetes foot assessment (and receive 25% off) call 94805522 or book online at www.northernpodiatry.com.au #podiatry #preston #NDW2020 #diabetes #healthyfeet

16.01.2022 R U OK? A simple question, but one that is so important to ask, particularly within the current climate. Our ability to connect with friends and family is limited at the moment, meaning many people are feeling isolated and afraid... about their health, their finances, job security, their worth in the world etc.... So make sure to reach out to your friends and family today and ask them ‘’R U Okay?’’ but more importantly, make sure you have the time to listen to their answer. For advice on how to prepare to ask this question, visit https://www.ruok.org.au or R U OK Day for some great resources. If you are reading this and are struggling or feeling overwhelmed, please reach out to a trusted friend or family member or call Lifeline on 13 11 14. #RUOK #RUOKDAY #theresmoretosay #lifelineaustralia

15.01.2022 Metro Melbourne and Mitchell Shire have woken to a new way of living for the foreseeable future Masks are now mandatory when leaving your home except in some clearly defined circumstances. If you are unsure, the safest thing is to wear your mask AT ALL TIMES when outside your house. ... Let’s all play our part so we can get back to doing the things we love, whatever that is. We are still OPEN to keep you healthy and active but ask you to cancel your appointments if you have any cold or flu-like symptoms. For bookings, visit www.northernpodiatry.com.au or call 94805522. #podiatry #myotherapy #preston #masks #covid19 #inittogether

13.01.2022 Sunday marks the start of ‘National Diabetes Week’, a time to educate and raise awareness about this life-changing disorder. Too often, Diabetes is not diagnosed until many organs have been negatively affected by the disease. So take the time to get yourself checked by your GP, particularly if you are over 40 years of age, or if you suffer from any of the following:... Increased thirst Frequent need to urinate Feeling tired and lethargic Increased irritability (family members may be better at recognising this symptom ) Altered feeling in your feet Blurred vision Diabetes can have a devastating effect on the feet and legs of sufferers BUT, thankfully, there are many things that can be done to reduce the risk of these complications. For this reason, we have decided to reduce our initial appointment fees for anyone with Diabetes or suspected Diabetes by 25% until the end of July. So, take advantage of this offer and come in for a Diabetes foot check (or arrange a Telehealth appointment) by calling 94805522 or booking online at www.northernpodiatry.com.au. #podiatry #preston #NDW2020 #diabetes #healthyfeet #happyfeet

12.01.2022 As part of the stage 4 restrictions currently covering metropolitan Melbourne, the services provided by all allied health professionals have been affected. Podiatry is considered an essential service but for the duration of the Stage 4 restrictions (currently until Sunday 13th September), face to face appointments can only be provided for those in need of emergency/urgent care. What constitutes urgent care will be decided on a case by case basis; some examples may include:... The presence of a chronic health condition that places your foot/limb at risk of damage, such as high-risk diabetes, poor sensation (peripheral neuropathy), poor blood flow (peripheral vascular disease) etc; A sudden increase in pain/redness/swelling that is affecting your daily activities i.e. your ability to perform work, care for your family etc; Situations where a lack of treatment would result in significant deterioration in your health or the need for escalation of care (hospital admission or medical review). If you have an upcoming appointment, one of our staff will be in contact to discuss your options. If a face to face appointment isn’t necessary we have the option of Telehealth appointments, where appropriate. For this period we have disabled online bookings, so if you feel you require urgent face to face care please call the clinic on 94805522. We are aware that your situation may change over this period, so if you decide to delay your appointment and then your condition deteriorates we will have urgent appointments available throughout this period. These measures have been implemented in an attempt to reduce interaction and non-urgent travel whilst the COVID cases are at unacceptable levels... we support this and feel this is a small part we can play in the fight against COVID-19. We understand this is a very stressful situation and you may have questions regarding these decisions; if this is the case please make sure to call or email the clinic via [email protected] Some final points: If you are attending an appointment you will need proof of this in case you are stopped so please make sure you have your email reminder or appointment card with you; The 5km rule doesn’t apply for medical care so you don’t have to cancel your appointment purely because of the distance; Myotherapy appointments can not be booked at this time for in-clinic appointments. Current or new patients can contact Travis via [email protected] for guidance during this time. Finally, thank you for your understanding and support during these times... we can’t wait to have you all back in the clinic once we are through this stage.

11.01.2022 Children’s feet can grow rapidly and ill-fitting shoes can cause all sorts of nail, skin and musculoskeletal issues. So, make sure to check your children’s shoes before they head back to school and if you need some guidance on how and where to buy school shoes, read our blog here: https://www.northernpodiatry.com.au//school-and-shoes-you/ Times are different at the moment but we are still here if you have any concerns regarding your children. If your child has any foot or l...eg pain please don’t delay their treatment. To book an appointment, call 94805522 or book online at www.northernpodiatry.com.au #podiatry #preston #school #kids #shoes

10.01.2022 With the latest announcements regarding Stage 4 restrictions in Melbourne comes the confusion about what is and isn’t affected. At present, and until we hear otherwise, we are OPEN. We have limited Podiatry and Myotherapy appointments available this week so if you have been meaning to make an appointment get in now. To book, call 94805522 or visit www.northernpodiatry.com.au... #podiatry #myotherapy #preston #inthistogether

09.01.2022 The staff at Northern Podiatry would like to wish all our patients, and their families, a safe and very Merry Christmas. We are now closed until Wed 6th January for some well earned rest after what has been a testing year. Over this period you can still book appointments by calling 94805522 or online at www.northernpodiatry.com.au... Thanks for getting through 2020 with us, we look forward to doing it all again in 2021!! #podiatry #myotherapy #preston #christmas #newyears #holidays

08.01.2022 We’ve made it to the end of another week... another week that’s looked very different to normal due to the current Stage 4 restrictions. All those working in healthcare have a desire to help others, so rescheduling patients and only being able to see ‘urgent’ cases is not something we like doing. So, thank you for your understanding during this time. We look forward to these restrictions easing and can’t wait to have you back in the clinic!!... As always, we will keep you informed of any changes as soon as we know, but for now... mask up, stay safe and look after your family, your neighbours and yourself!! For further info on the stage 4 restrictions visit www.northernpodiatry.com.au or call 94805522. #podiatry #myotherapy #preston #inittogether

07.01.2022 With Christmas fast approaching, our appointment spots are filling fast. If you have been meaning to make an appointment, don’t delay!! To book:... 94805522 www.northernpodiatry.com.au #podiatry #myotherapy #preston #massage #christmas #holidays

04.01.2022 Last week, we received news from the Victorian government that from Sep 28th the restrictions currently affecting Podiatry will be eased. The official correspondence announced that from September 28 "AHPRA registered allied health services in Melbourne will be able to resume seeing patients for face-to-face services for a broader range of treatments than just preventing hospital admission, such as for pain management or to prevent a deterioration in functional independence." ...This means, whilst we can’t see everyone and everything, we can certainly assist a lot more of you than currently. This will be welcomed by many of you who have needed to have appointments delayed over the past 8 weeks. Once again, we thank you for your understanding regarding this and we can’t wait to have you back in the clinic. Whilst case numbers are improving we still need to play our part in reducing community movement and the risk of community transmission... so please continue to follow previous advice regarding cancelling appointments if you feel unwell or have had contact with a suspected/confirmed case of COVID-19. Our clinic is taking all necessary steps to keep you, our staff and the community safe... if you have any questions regarding these safety measures or are uncertain about making an appointment, please call 94805522 or email [email protected]. #podiatry #preston #covid19 #happyfeet #healthyfeet

03.01.2022 After what has been a challenging year, our team has decided to shut for an extended break over Christmas/New Years. Our final day will be Wednesday 23rd Dec and we will return on Wed 6th Jan, ready for whatever 2021 brings!! We still have some spots left next week so book in now if you need to see a Podiatrist or Myotherapist.... However, don’t fear, you will still be able to book appointments over that period for when we return.

02.01.2022 FOOT HEALTH WEEK 2020 This week is Foot Health Week, so there is no better time to remember the importance of our feet and legs. Podiatry can be valuable at all stages of life, with podiatrists dealing with such things as:... Skin and Nail conditions (ingrown toenails, plantar warts, callouses/corns, fungal/thickened nails, tinea, sweaty feet, ulcers, blisters etc); Musculoskeletal pain (bunions, achilles/heel pain, shin pain, forefoot pain (neuroma, bursitis), ankle sprains, stress fractures, plantar heel/arch pain, knee pain etc); Chronic health conditions (diabetes, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, varicose veins, poor circulation) Podiatrists can also provide advice on 'normal' development, particularly for infants and toddlers; appropriate footwear choices; gait retraining; self-care techniques; orthotic therapy and much more. All the practitioners at Northern Podiatry are passionate about the work we do and the importance of foot health. We’d love to have you in the clinic!!
