Foot And Leg Pain Centre

Who We Treat

Aiming to restore physical freedom for one and all.

Lending A Hand To Feet Everywhere

We cater to feet of all ages and sizes, and their owners too! Whether you’re an office worker, toddler, parent to a young child, or heading towards the Olympics (or all of the above ), we have the knowledge and experience to assist with your physical freedom.

Children

As toddlers grow into children and eventually adults, their legs undergo significant changes, along with their adorable little banana-shaped feet. It’s crucial to identify the right time to intervene and correct any issues that may arise during this transformational period. One way to do so is through regular measurements, which allow us to closely monitor your child’s growth and address any conditions that may arise while the window of opportunity for intervention remains open. Ensuring healthy adult legs starts with early detection and proper care, so don’t hesitate to take action for your child’s well-being.

Women

Women are often on the go, whether in flats, high heels, or another type of footwear. If your feet are working abnormally due to footwear, biomechanics, lifestyle, or structural abnormalities, we aim to determine the underlying reason and select the most appropriate treatment to help you make it through the day with less pain.

Certified Sports Podiatry

You don’t need to be an all-star to acquire a sports injury. We focus on the latest techniques with the aim of resolving your issue quickly so you can get back on the field. From sports injuries, ski boot fitting, and sporting footwear advice to ballet shoes, running shoes, and football boots, our emphasis is on you not missing the next game.

Seniors

“Physical inactivity is a greater precursor to early mortality than smoking, diabetes and obesity combined” (Blair, 2009). As podiatrists, it is our job to keep you mobile. Age should not be a reason to simply accept pain and discomfort. Many musculoskeletal aches and pains can be addressed through podiatry, including those thought to be due to graceful ageing. We aim to recognise any underlying reasons for your pain and focus on conservatively treating, rehabilitating, and managing various conditions to ensure you retain your independence and physical freedom.

Workers Compensation

Workplace accidents often affect the feet and legs, whether through dropping an object, tripping and falling, or twisting a knee or ankle. We collect a thorough medical and incident history before assessing the dynamic and static impacts of your injury prior to writing the reports necessary for you to receive a gold-standard treatment and the opportunity to return to full functional duties. Our team are ready to work with your nominated insurer and collaborate with your trusted professionals to ensure you receive the best possible holistic treatment and to help you return to your activities quickly and safely!

NDIS

We’re an audited and approved NDIS provider and welcome all NDIS patients, whether NDIS-managed, agency-managed or self-managed. We understand the need for an individualised experience and are sensitive to the additional time that may be required for appointments. Whether a patient has heightened touch sensitivity, requires wheelchair assistance, or has other specific needs, we are experienced and happy to assist.
