25.01.2022 Did you know Podiatrists treat all things feet - Ankle Pain, Sports Injuries, Toe Nail problems, Corns and Callus, Arthritis...the list goes on. Podiatrists are Foot Health Experts

25.01.2022 Have you been working out at home or have swapped shoes for ugg boots while spending more time at home? Its time to dig your shoes out and start wearing them again. I am seeing many people with arch pain and foot pain due to wearing sloppy shoes. Even if its just for a few hours- give your feet the respect they deserve and give the slippers a rest.

24.01.2022 To keep you safe health care needs to have a lot of waste - single use gloves and masks, lots of hand washing and paper towel. At Willunga Podiatry here are a few of the ways we operate with less waste: - Recycling and composting -Using laundered hand towels instead of single use towel where appropriate. - Retail line that is made in Australia where possible - Buying boxes of gloves in 200 instead of 100 and buying in bulk... - Paper free admin where possible See more

24.01.2022 My new favourite saying for anyone who is on their feet all day if you wouldnt wear them to the gym dont wear them to work Treat your feet to shoes that are right for the job.

24.01.2022 One piece of advice from lockdown part one - be kind to your feet If you are working out online or in the backyard- wear supportive shoes If you are gardening, renovating, painting- wear supportive shoes Keep safe and try and keep movement routines and footwear as normal as possible.

23.01.2022 Yesterday was go home from work on time day. Being a solo practitioner, going on time early also means not working at home after school pick up I did not make this post yesterday, as it was working :) I did however play Monopoly

23.01.2022 Generally the clinic is open 9am-3pm to fit with school hours. However, after hours appointments are always accommodated. The next available clinics are Tuesday 10th march and Thursday 19th March. Please phone 08 7078 0357 to book or email [email protected] Happy Friday!

20.01.2022 My new favourite saying for anyone who is on their feet all day 'if you wouldn't wear them to the gym don't wear them to work' Treat your feet to shoes that are right for the job.

20.01.2022 Nurses, Tradies, Gardeners - How much time do you spend choosing the correct shoes for the job you're doing? Do your shoes fit as well as your gloves or helmet or face mask? if not it's time to get some advice from a podiatrist #foothealthexperts

20.01.2022 Week 2 of School Holidays and after some time off, the clinic is open again on Wednesday. After Hours appointments available and a fresh stock of Archies Footwear *20% discount for kiddies - some conditions. Please contact for more information*

19.01.2022 Attending the SA Podiatry conference virtually this year. Benefits include access to experts from around the world and brush up on knowledge - diabetes, falls prevention and rehabilitation and exercise.... And, I can bake brownies while I participate

19.01.2022 *EDIT - face masks for patients can now be clean fabric mask or disposable New Government directive is for single-use face masks to be worn in Health care settings. This means a disposable medical face mask. A register of all visitors, even if its just to book in, is required. Please use the QR code at reception.... I am privileged to be able to continue providing community based health care in our wonderful region. Be safe and be kind.

18.01.2022 An interesting segment on 891 this morning talking about aged care and navigating home based aged care. An account of one person's journey caring for their elderly parent and navigating the health care system and supports that are available. https://www.abc.net.au//adelaide/programs/mornings/11607444

18.01.2022 Stunning day to be out and about. Home visits today- Mclaren vale, Sellicks and Victor Harbor. This coastline never disappoints

17.01.2022 Wearing my Level 2 Sports Trainer hat tonight brushing up on concussion management. Dont plan on using it in the clinic anytime soon but for my community sports involvement it is crucial. For local sports clubs returning to play check out https://www.ssarm.com.au/ for all your risk management tools.

17.01.2022 Monday appointments will be available as soon as I have concrete, definite advice from the Podiatry Association In the meantime I still have beans to harvest and pumpkin seeds and a fig tree to plant

16.01.2022 Hoping that everyone is enjoying a relaxing summer break and keeping cool. We are closed, returning Monday 6th January 2020 at 9am.

16.01.2022 The clinic at 2/41 High street is fully equipped for on the spot orthotic modifications and fitting, as well as a pair of Hobbit feet :) #bookweek2020

15.01.2022 Opening Hours are usually 9am to 3pm to fit with school hours, BUT - appointments are always available after hours on request. Online Bookings have opened for Monday arvo.

14.01.2022 CLINIC IS OPEN. Some appointments available this week. Phone 08 7078 0357 or book online. Next week there is multiple availability. Take Care!

14.01.2022 Looking for some fitness motivation with park run and fun runs cancelled? Today I am feeling generous - I am going to share my favourite 10km run loop. My Garmin gives me goals for stair climbing so the hills are fun :) Or maybe you are training for the Great Southern Run Fest 2020 and you need some new loops to try. https://goo.gl/maps/u1U7SmBBrrKwYYRf7

14.01.2022 Have you heard of Pacing as a strategy to manage chronic pain? Those who suffer arthritis or chronic illness will know that a boom and bust pattern of activity is common - the frustration at being stuck and in pain can lead to going too hard. And then we give up and feel worse. So instead, try breaking a task down into smaller jobs - half an hour of weeding, a 10 minute walk or even a 30minute coffee with a friend if that's all the time you have - all of these small tasks add up over time, as the wise Paul Kelly sings 'From little things big things grow'.

13.01.2022 This years World Diabetes Day is all about the important role family plays in caring for those living with diabetes. Knowing and caring for your feet is an imp...ortant part of managing diabetes but can be easily overlooked until a foot ulcer presents. The good news is with annual foot assessments and some simple self-care many people with diabetes will never get foot ulcers and their more serious complications, such as infections and amputations. And in even better news, your family can also play a role in helping take care of your feet.

11.01.2022 Tuesdays the clinic is closed while I travel around the Fleurieu doing home visits. I have always offered home visits - I am equipped to do it safely and well and it means those people who can't drive or find it hard to leave the house can save their precious outings for more fun activities :)

10.01.2022 I often remind people that your nails are hard but do not forget they are still alive. If you wouldn't put it on your face don't put it on your toe nails.

Risk management processes in place include: - one appointment at a time with a gap between for cleaning and avoiding contact with anyone else - no waiting - you will come straight in to treatment room... - Cleaning and Hygiene - in line with national infection control guidelines with some added extras Over the coming weeks we will also have a lot of online resources for self care at home including - foot care tips, sports injury advice and more.

09.01.2022 And we are done for 2020. Messages will be checked periodically . Stay safe and see you all in 2021

09.01.2022 Back for 2020 at 9am Monday morning. In the meantime, it's puzzle time.

09.01.2022 some common reasons to see a podiatrist in summer: - dry skin - footwear advice for summer - new sport and activity

08.01.2022 Video or Telephone consultations are now available. Consultations that could be done in this way include orthotic review, footwear review, follow up on exercise programs. We can also use Telehealth to gather history and information prior to your appointment to reduce face-face time in the clinic. Some points to note: - Medicare funding is available for those on Enhanced Primary Care Plans with GP - Otherwise some fee will be paid. Contact your Private Health Fund to ask if t...hey are offering any benefits - Remote Health Care does not replace face-face consultations and telehealth won't work for everyone. The aim is to keep people home as much as possible and in line with Public Health guidelines and to keep you all as fit and active as possible. See more

06.01.2022 Super excited to now be retailing Feetures! The merino are super cosy - Combined with a Mongrel Socks headband winter exercise is now a whole lot easier.

06.01.2022 Most days I see someone who has been experiencing foot pain due to changes in activity and footwear.

06.01.2022 This week is Foot Health Week with the theme of how your feet effect the rest of your body and your health.

05.01.2022 Change of seasons is always a trigger for foot pain. Changing footwear, activities, sport and more daylight all place load on the feet that they might not be ready for. So get your summer shoes out, make sure they are in good condition now, before you wear them a day and suffer later.... Try some training for summer sports before the first match, and enjoy the extra daylight hours gradually.

05.01.2022 The clinic is closed for a few days. Appointments can still be made online and by phoning and leaving a message.

04.01.2022 This morning Willunga Podiatry started the day with some ideas sharing, playing host to our friends at Willunga Physiotherapy, Move to Live - Exercise Physiology and Fleurieu Exercise Physiology. A great way to get some 'balance' in to our practice :)
