18.01.2022 The team at Ferntree Gully Foot Clinic recently had the opportunity to try out some barefoot bowls with one of our sponsored organisations, Ferntree Gully Bowling Club. We had mixed results; the blokes on the green next to us certainly put us to shame. We'd like to thank Club Member (and patient) Garth McAuley for his excellent instruction and his enduring patience. We had a great time.

17.01.2022 We are more prone to heel pain during the colder months, as podiatrists we see an increase in patients with cold weather injuries. Cold muscles and connective tissue have less elasticity and are more prone to injury in colder weather. Heel pain may be caused by injuries, incorrectly fitted footwear, running and jumping on hard surfaces, abnormal walking style, obesity and certain diseases. There are a variety of treatment options and ways to reduce the risk of heel pain incl...uding that associated with Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Spurs. For an assessment call 97536222 and book your appointment.

16.01.2022 Now that we are getting some warmer weather, come in to have a look at our new Revere footwear, perfect for your summer comfort. Dont forget - we only have 5 weeks until Christmas - appointments are filling quicky - so call 97536222 to book your appointment - no need to suffer with sore feet over the festive season.

16.01.2022 Our feet are often the most neglected and forgotten part of our bodies. Research has shown that people are more likely to have serviced their car than to have had their feet checked by a podiatrist. Yet our feet are our main mode of transport, carrying us on a journey of 128,000 kilometers, or even more, in a lifetime the equivalent to three times around the world.

Every year there are 10,000 hospital admissions in Australia for diabetes related foot ulcers many of these admissions end with people having a limb, or part of a limb, amputated. People with diabetes hospitalised for lower limb amputation have longer stays in hospital than other diabetes-related complications. Diabetic foot disease costs Australia around $875 million every single year. 85% of diabetes-related amputations are preventable if problems are detected early and managed appropriately.

04.01.2022 NEW - ARCHIES - IN STOCK NOW Archies Arch Support Thongs were designed by a young physiotherapist from Melbourne, Australia to be an alternative to regular flat thongs. Archies Thongs provide the same amount of support that you would find in a typical orthotic, whilst still looking just like normal thongs, hence why they are the choice of thong for many of Australias elite athletes. Regardless of whether or not you require support from your footwear, Archies Thongs are unbelievably comfortable and once you try them on you will never want to take them off!

03.01.2022 Winter Foot Care Tips: 1. Use a moisturising foot cream during winter to help avoid corns callouses and dry cracked skin. 2. Choose appropriate winter socks and shoes that keep your feet warm, dry and protected.Make sure your socks and shoes/boots are made from natural fibres and fabrics that allow your feet to breathe. Foot sweat can make your feet feel colder. 3. Take off your wet socks and shoes, leaving them on will place you at higher risk of fungal and bacterial inf...ections. Make sure they are completely dry before putting them back on. 4. Take a break from nail polish. Its a great time to give you nails a chance to repair and allows them to better absorb moisturisers or lotions and prevent nail dryness. 5.Treat yourself to some winter foot soaks. These are great for relaxation and the warmth will improve the circulation in your feet. 6. Dont forget to keep exercising. This will help prevent swelling in your feet and ankles. It will get the blood flowing to all areas of your body including your feet. Just remember to do your warm up stretches first to prevent unnecessary injuries. See more
