Oh my goodness, it's been freezing the last few weeks. We're definitely in the deep, dark depths of an Adelaide winter! 🥶

Unfortunately, the winter months can exacerbate circulation issues in the lower limbs for many. Cold weather may constrict blood vessels, leading to a variety of uncomfortable and sometimes severe foot conditions. 👣

Keep warm, Blackwood! 🧣✨

✨ Feet Facts & Stats ✨

Here’s a fun one—did you know the skin on the soles of your feet is the thickest anywhere on your body? It can be up to 4mm thick! That’s because it’s built to cope with all the walking, running, and standing we do every day. 💪🏽

But just because it’s thicker doesn’t mean it’s invincible. The skin on your feet needs regular care to stay healthy and avoid things like cracks, calluses, or infections. 👣

So it’s worth giving your feet a bit of love—wash and dry them properly, moisturise regularly, and keep an eye on any changes. And if anything’s bothering you, we’re always here to help at Blackwood Podiatry 💙

Heel pain can be brutal. That first painful step in the morning? Ouch! 💥

But what happens when the pain doesn't go away? When does a ni**le turn into something that needs attention? 🤔

In today's blog, Nicole explains what might be causing your heel pain and how a podiatrist can help.👣

If you're hobbling out of bed each morning, check out the link below 🔗

Plantar Fasci-What-The?! Heel pain. We've all been there. Whether it’s after strutting around in those beautiful (but brutal) heels, standing for hours at an event, or pushing yourself in a new workout, it can catch us off guard. But what happens when the pain doesn’t settle down on its own? Whe...

Just like your car needs a regular service, your orthotic devices need a yearly check-up, too! 📅

Orthoses don't last forever. Over time, the materials can wear down, and the fit or support may not be quite right anymore. Plus, our feet can change gradually over time—so what worked last year might need a few tweaks this year. 👣

A quick review with your podiatrist helps to ensure your orthoses are still doing their job—keeping you supported, comfortable, and moving well. ✅

Due for a check-up? Give us a call or book online—we're here to help. ✨

At Blackwood Podiatry, we treat all kinds of netballers — from juniors finding their feet — to weekend warriors giving it their all — to elite players chasing top-level performance. 💪
