An orthotic is a device used by podiatrists to realign the skeletal position of the body to allow it to function in an ideal position. This can improve the way that certain muscles or joints/bones are used during gait, resulting in less stress/strain on the body during movement. Orthotics can help to reduce current pain in your body and/or prevent possible future problems that can occur from faulty biomechanics.

All custom foot orthotics are made in my own manufacturing lab, which keeps costs lower for you, and guarantees the quality of their function. Prefabricated orthotics are also available - ideal for children and those on a budget, they are easily adjustable and comfortable to wear.

Repair services are also offered at the clinic.

Foot, ankle, leg, hip or lower back pain? It could be due to the way that you walk.

An assessment involves gait analysis & muscle/joint testing to determine the sources of pain or inefficiency in your body to develop a treatment plan that is right for you.

Muscles and joints will attempt to compensate for faulty biomechanics, but every structure has its limits. However, if the fundamentals are addressed, then movement can be more efficient and pain-free. If the walls in your house start to crack or the roof starts to dip, it is usually a problem with the foundation. Your body is no different!

Are your nails thickened or discoloured? Well, there could be a fungal nail infection. But how can you tell?

At the clinic we offer diagnosis, treatment and long-term management of fungal nails.

Here’s how it works:.

1. Diagnosis- firstly, we find out if your nails are definitely infected. This is done via an in-clinic test that takes 5 mins and is 95% accurate in diagnosing if a fungal infection is present in the nail.

2. Treatment- involves reducing nail bulk to make long term treatment more effective.

3. Management- you will be given an effective off-the-shelf nail solution for you to use at home.

Children and adolescents are susceptible to a range of lower limb issues that are different to adults. Some of these conditions include shin splints, Sever’s disease, Osgood-Schlatter disease and Kohler’s disease, just to name a few.

Growing bodies require different treatment approaches and management options to adults. At the clinic we love to help kids and teens develop to reach their full, pain-free potential.

Patients under the age of 18 are given concession rates for their consultation fees and foot orthotics.

Dry Needling involves using a thin acupuncture needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate trigger points in muscle (ie “knots”) and connective tissues for the management of neuromusculoskeletal and movement impairments. Treatment can benefit muscle tightness/soreness as well as connective tissue disorders like plantar fasciitis (heel pain) in the foot.

Cupping is an alternative therapy that involves suctioning of the skin with cups (as shown in the picture above) in order to improve/increase blood flow to an area. In-turn, this can help with healing, boosting immunity, pain relief and reduction in muscle tightness/soreness.
