Issy and Mike have been in Noosa over the last few days at the 2026 conference. Terrific to present with Rhys from in the ECP session. Thanks to them for their support of early career practitioner. Wonderful to catch up with colleagues socially and see, meet and hear some terrific speakers. But most of all learn from the best to treat our patients!

Sever’s Disease (Heel Pain in Active Kids)

🦶Heel pain in active kids isn’t “just growing pains”. It’s often Sever’s disease — a load‑related irritation of the heel’s growth plate.

🙁When kids hit a growth spurt, the calf muscles tighten and pull harder on the heel. Add running, jumping, and sport on top, and the heel becomes irritated and sore.

🙂The good news? It’s very treatable — and kids don’t need to stop sport.

As lower‑limb specialists in load and biomechanics, we’re in the best position to help because we can:
- Assess how your child moves and loads their feet
- Identify the mechanical causes of the heel pain
- Optimise footwear and cushioning
- Adjust training load without losing fitness
- Build strength and mobility to prevent recurrence

❗️Sever’s disease is a load problem — and load is exactly what we specialise in.

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️If your child is limping after sport, avoiding running, or complaining of heel pain, we can help them stay active and recover properly.

Huge shoutout to our awesome podiatrist Issy, who took on the Orange Runners Festival half marathon and absolutely nailed it!

She’s been putting in the hard yards since January, and all that work paid off with a 1:59 finish — slipping in under the two‑hour mark like an absolute champion.

We’re so proud of you, Issy. Your energy, commitment, and love of movement shine through in everything you do. What a legend!

A huge thank you to Kellie Gibson - Freelance Graphic Design for bringing the 2026 Bathurst Athletics Club State Team T‑Shirts to life.

These shirts are gifted to every athlete who qualifies to represent Bathurst at the State Championships in Sydney — a tradition we’re incredibly proud to continue.

We’ve backed our state athletes for the past six years, and we can’t wait to cheer them on again this March.

🌡️ We’re still open—just keeping cool!
Sadly,, our clinic’s air conditioning has unfortunately broken down. We’ve closed the blinds to help manage the temperature, which may make us look closed—but we’re very much here and operating as best we can.

A new air-conditioner is on the way and we expect things to return to normal in a few weeks.

If you’re feeling the heat and would prefer to reschedule your appointment, please call us on 6334 2389.

Thanks for your patience and understanding—stay cool out there! ❄️👣
