Healthy feet are the foundation for happy, active kids.

Children’s feet are still growing and developing, which means small issues like flat feet, clumsiness, or leg pain can affect how they walk, run, and play. Our podiatrists specialise in identifying and treating early signs of biomechanical problems to help improve balance, coordination, and comfort as your child grows. A simple foot and leg assessment can make a big difference in preventing future concerns.

Foot health isn’t just about movement — it’s also about comfort and confidence. Common conditions such as plantar warts, ingrown toenails, and skin infections can cause pain and stop kids from enjoying their favourite activities. Our gentle, child-friendly treatments aim to relieve discomfort quickly and prevent recurrence. Give your child the best start from the ground up — book a check-up with our experienced podiatry team today.

Even minor concerns—such as a corn, blister, or patch of hard skin—can quickly turn into something painful or even lead to infection if ignored. Getting checked and treated early by a professional helps prevent complications and keeps you comfortable, active, and on your feet.

Nail salons can offer cosmetic services, but they are not trained to identify or manage underlying foot problems.

Podiatrists are healthcare professionals who specialise in diagnosing and treating skin and nail conditions. We use sterile equipment and follow strict infection-control practices to protect your long-term foot health.

Don’t let small problems grow into bigger ones—book your appointment with MyFootDr Modbury today on 82654130!

Taking care of your feet for the long run begins with choosing the right shoes.
Just because something feels comfortable doesn’t necessarily mean it’s giving your feet the support they need.

Ill-fitting or unsupportive footwear—even if it seems fine at first—can contribute to:
👣 Pain in the heels or arches
👣 Pressure points and callus build-up
👣 Reduced stability or balance problems
👣 Ongoing aches you might not realise are preventable

At MyFootDr Mobury, we go beyond simply checking your feet—we assess how they function and what they require. Our podiatry team can recommend and fit footwear from reliable, podiatry-approved brands

What Are Bunions?
A bunion (medical term: hallux valgus) is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe joint. It develops when the big toe gradually shifts towards the second toe, causing the joint to stick out to the side. Over time, this can lead to pain, swelling, redness, and difficulty finding comfortable shoes.

Bunions often develop slowly and can be influenced by:

Foot structure (inherited shape of your foot)

Footwear (tight, narrow, or high-heeled shoes)

Joint conditions (like arthritis)

Basic Prevention Strategies
While some people have a natural predisposition to bunions, you can help reduce the risk or slow their progression by:

- Choosing Supportive Footwear
Wear shoes with a wide toe box and good arch support
Avoid shoes with pointed toes or high heels for long periods.
Orthotic inserts may be advised to correct biomechanical issues to slow progression.

- Using Protective Pads
Cushioning pads or bunion shields can reduce rubbing and pressure.

- Strengthening and Stretching Your Feet
Gentle toe stretches and foot exercises can help maintain joint mobility and alignment.

Early Monitoring

If you notice your big toe starting to angle inward or you develop discomfort, seek podiatry advice early — early intervention can slow progression.

For more information, visit https://www.myfootdr.com.au/conditions-treated/bunions/
or book with our friendly podiatrists by calling 8265 4130, or online at https://www.myfootdr.com.au/our-clinics/modbury-podiatry-centre/

Custom AFO braces and medical grade footwear are now within the capabilities of podiatrists to design and prescribe.

Senior podiatrist Justin attended the second Brisbane workshop of the AbleMotion training program studying how to design, prescribe and fit these medical devices.

These devices were previously only able to be prescribed by orthotists and pedorthists, and will open up a new world of treatment options for our clients.

It was a bit quiet last week with clinic partners James and Justin attending the Healthia Partners conference in Melbourne.

Great speakers, great company, great food and some not so great weather. A lot of exciting developments on the horizon for our clients in Podiatry and allied healthcare in general 👍

Thank you Modbury team for holding the fort!

Sharp pain, clicking, or pins-and-needles feelings in your toes?
These could be signs of a morton’s neuroma.
Tight shoes or standing for long periods will often aggravate the discomfort. Don’t ignore the signs—give your feet the comfort they deserve with correctly fitting footwear! 👣If the irritation persists, ask your podiatrist for a full assessment and diagnosis.
