It’s Podiatry Week!!!

This year’s theme ‘From first steps to next steps” celebrates the lifelong care podiatrists provide, from little feet to later years.

Whether it’s a toddler taking their first steps, an athlete striving for peak performance, or an older adult staying active and independent - we’re here for every stage of the journey.

To help celebrate, Rose Park Podiatry is offering a special from today to the end of October. Any new patient appointments booked from a family referral will receive 50% off the initial consult *. It’s our small way of saying thank you for looking after your feet and posture.

From an ingrown toenail, some type of foot or leg pain, concerns about posture or your child’s coordination or growing pains - we’re here to help.

So whether it's a partner, child, brother or sister, any new patient time made in October that comes from a family member, we will discount our initial appointment charge by 50%.
*Not applicable to online bookings

To book in with one of our podiatrists call 8338 0622 to make an appointment this October.

Have you ever wondered about the connection between Diabetes and your feet?

Have you been recently diagnosed with Diabetes and wondering why this is so important?

Diabetes can have a particular effect on blood vessels and nerves.

Because our feet are so far away from the heart and brain, the blood vessels and nerves of the feet tend to be smaller than the rest of the body and hence are more susceptible to injury / breakdown.
As a result, feet are often one of the first places you may experience diabetic related signs and symptoms.

Podiatrists play an important role in the management and prevention of diabetic related lower limb and foot complications. Following the latest evidence-based guidelines, we conduct regular neurovascular assessments to help effectively manage any concerns and prevent further complications.

Areas we can assist you with include:
• Regular assessment of your circulation and nerve sensation
• Footwear education
• Nail and skin care
• Treatment and management of wounds
• Poor biomechanics
• Foot pain

What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a technique that uses fine acupuncture needles to target and release tight or overworked muscles. It's a safe and effective way to reduce pain, improve mobility, and treat a range of foot and leg conditions—from plantar fasciitis to calf tightness.

Dry needling focuses on myofascial trigger points, which are tense, sensitive spots in muscles that can cause pain and limit movement.

At Rose Park Podiatry, we also utilise other hands on treatment such as sports massage, manual stretching and joint mobilisation to get the best results.

At Rose Park Podiatry, we offer gait analysis - a detailed assessment of your walking or running style.

Using the latest technology and our clinical expertise, we can identify subtle imbalances or biomechanical issues that may be causing pain or putting you at risk of injury.

Whether you’re an athlete, a weekend walker, or just tired of recurring pain, a gait assessment can be the first step toward long-term relief and better performance.

📍 Book your gait analysis today and take the first step toward better movement.

Heal Podiatry Rose Park's Ben Tirri on 'Discover With RAA Travel'

Ben recently featured on Episode 10 (timestamp 12:47), talking all things footwear while travelling abroad.

Now that we are seeing many clients and their families travelling again here are some helpful times to ensure your feet remain happy while away on holidays:

*We recommend buying your shoes towards the end of the day, this is because our feet naturally swell, even more so in warmer weather, this can make shoes tighter or rub over the course of the day.

*Allow 1 thumbs width (1.5cm) from your longest toe to the end of the shoe, this will provide space for your toes to move and avoid sore & bruised toenails

Sneakers or walking shoes are a great option for day to day activities and sightseeing; trail shoes or hiking boots are recommended for travel of rougher terrain, such as cobblestones paths or bushwalking.

If you have any questions regarding your feet or footwear, feel free to book an appointment and one of podiatrist will be sure to help!
