About us
Comprehensive Podiatry
We believe in the importance of looking after your feet no matter what your age. From children’s growing feet to the feet of the more elderly, our team of expert podiatrists are committed to providing the appropriate foot care for the entire family.
We have expertise in every area of Podiatry including routine foot care, nail surgery, diabetic foot health assessment, high risk feet, sports injuries and paediatrics. We can biomechanically evaluate your foot and lower limb structure and gait. We can develop a treatment plan which may include a range of treatment options with the provision of orthotics ranging from custom-made to custom-modified devices.
Diagnosis
Our focus is on providing expert diagnosis and care for any conditions affecting the lower limbs.
Treatment
We create personalised plans which may include a range of treatment options.
Prevent injuries
Some lower limb injuries, particularly overuse injuries in the ankle, shin, knee and even around the hip and pelvis are often caused by foot issues. The correct assessment and treatment plan play a significant role in injury prevention and rehabilitation.
