25.01.2022 CYCLING INJURIES Foot pain in cyclists is very common. There are two main foot concerns seen - 'hot foot' and plantar fasciitis. Hot foot is a burning, numbness or painful sensation on the underside of the foot. It is caused by pressure on the nerves that travel from the ball of the foot to the toes. This is normally caused by tight shoes or incorrect cleat placement. Our podiatrists can help by giving you correct footwear advice. ... Plantar fasciitis is when the thick band of tissue that runs along the underside of the foot becomes overly tight or damaged. In this case, our podiatrists are able to help relieve tightness and can provide custom orthotics as a long-time solution to support the arch of the foot and prevent undue stress. Are you a cyclist and experiencing pain in your foot? Don't just pedal through! Come and see one of our podiatrists so that you can ride pain-free. Simply call us on (08) 6269 2038 to make an appointment.

23.01.2022 DAFFODIL DAY Daffodil Day is a well-known fundraising event in Cancer Council's calendar, helping support all Australians affected by cancer. Here at Scarborough Podiatry, we have physiotherapists that are able to help cancer patients before, during and after treatment. They will be with you every step of the way.

This can significantly affect the health of their muscles. Our physiotherapists can provide you with a personalised exercise plan to help you achieve your goals during this difficult time in your life.

16.01.2022 Today we take a moment to remember those who gave their lives to protect the country we call home.

16.01.2022 One of the most common injuries faced by tradies are ankle sprains. This occurs when the ligaments that support the ankle joint rolls inwards under the leg (called inversion), straining the ligaments on the outside of the ankle that usually prevent this movement. This can sometimes happen when walking or running over uneven ground, or when quickly changing direction. As most people have rolled their ankle at least once in their life, it's common to think tha...t these injuries do not require rehabilitation; however, rehabilitation is essential after all ankle sprains, in order to reduce the likelihood of them happening again. Our podiatrists here at Scarborough Podiatry want to help you on your road to recovery. If you have recently sprained an ankle, please get in touch with our team by contacting us on (08) 6269 2038 or head to the video tab on our page to find exercises that will help you manage your pain today.

15.01.2022 National Carers week runs from 11th of October to the 17th and aims to raise awareness of unpaid carers and their caring role in Australia. Currently, there are 2.65 million unpaid carers within Australia who provide unpaid care to family and friends. It is estimated that carers will provide 2.2 billion hours of unpaid care in 2020. This year’s theme is #WhyWeCare. It provides a platform for unpaid carers to submit their story about why they fulfill an unpaid carers role... and for non-carers, it provides a way for them to acknowledge and celebrate unpaid carers. As a healthcare organisation, we see many carers come through our doors, helping to bring our patients to their podiatry appointment and thus helping them prioritise their foot health. It is important for us to celebrate and thank these people who play such a vital role in helping us maintain the health of our patient’s lower limbs and prevent any further issues arising. Without their assistance, some of our patients would not have the ability to access podiatry, nor would they be capable of looking after their own feet which could result in complications such as hindering mobility. In honour of #Carers2020, head to http://www.carersweek.com.au/tell-us-why-you-care/ and submit your own story about why you care.

14.01.2022 Bunions normally present as bumps or a swelling on the side or top of the big toe joint. The bone and tissue surrounding the joint becomes misaligned due to undue pressure on the toes. This is a common foot condition normally, made even more common in women due to our poor shoe choices. Narrow, pointed-toe footwear pushes the big toe towards the other toes, causing the joint to protrude. High heels make the issue worse as it forces the toes into the front of the sho...e, further squishing them. In women, the biggest prevention method would be making sure you are wearing shoes with a larger toe box to allow your toes to sit comfortably and have enough room to wiggle. If you are already suffering from a bunion our podiatrists can help! They can provide footwear advice, orthotics and treatment techniques to relieve your pain and prevent further development. Call us on 6269 2038 to get on top of your bunion today!

11.01.2022 Did you know that in 2020, there are more people over the age of 60 than those under the age of 5 years old? This year’s theme of International Day of Older Persons is to raise awareness of the special health needs of older persons and their contribution to their own health, as well as recognising and appreciating health workers dedicated to maintaining and improving the health of older persons. In podiatry, older persons make up a major part of our patient-...base. As we get older, our feet flatten, widen and our fatty padding wears down, leaving the bones and joints in the feet vulnerable. Due to this, a simple foot problem such as a blister can have a major impact on the mobility and balance of an older person, hindering their independence. Our podiatrists are dedicated to preventing and managing all foot conditions in older persons to help them maintain their mobility and quality of life. If you are an older person, take your health into your own hands in celebration of this International Day of Older Persons and call us on 6269 2038 to see how our podiatrists can help you.

10.01.2022 We spend a lot of time thinking about the health, growth and development of our children. Do you ever think about their bone development? When your child enters their teenage years, they go through a major growth spurt where they build one quarter of their adult bone mass in only two years. Did your anxiety just spike? Are you wondering how on Earth youre supposed to support such a dramatic development and encourage strong and healthy bones? Dont worry alon...g with Dairy Australia, weve got you covered. The word most of us associate with strong and healthy bones is calcium and youd be right. Our kids need an increase in calcium through out the teen years, increasing their daily intake to 3 serves. Milk, cheese and yoghurt are the biggest contributors to dairy serves but there are plenty of non-dairy options too. Exercise and vitamin D are also big contributors in promoting healthy bone development. The best exercise for your child to participate in is any weight bearing exercise. This includes sports such as football and netball. If you make sure they exercise outdoors, they will be getting enough Vitamin D to sustain their bone growth. Talk about killing two birds with one stone. Dont just take our word for it. If you want more information, head to the article on Dairy Australia https://www.dairy.com.au//healthy-/healthy-bones-for-teens.

04.01.2022 As a tradie, your most important tool is your health and given the physical nature of your job, its important that you go home safe, well and ready for action again the next day. To help you do this, follow a few simple steps: Before your shift, make sure to do a light warm up before starting work. Do some stretches for specific muscle groups such as quad or hamstring stretches if you do lots of squatting for work. Pace yourself and your workload througho...ut the day to avoid overuse injuries and fatigue. Talk to your workmates to ensure you are working in the safest and most efficient way possible. Speak up if you feel uneasy about the level of risk you are exposed to at work. Be willing to say no when required, even if it might make you unpopular at that moment. Chances are you are not the only one that feels unsafe and your "gut feeling" might save someone's life. Worksite supervisors and employers are legally responsible for ensuring safe worksites and conditions and will be held accountable if there are breaches of work site regulations. Look for advice from your podiatrist if you experience any aches or pains in your feet or lower legs that are persistent, rather than waiting till its bad enough to stop you from continuing work. Manage injuries immediately with the RICE method (rest, ice, compression, and elevation). See more
