𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 👣 😃

With the school term approaching fast, it’s a really good time for Hayley to check in on your kid’s feet to make sure they are developing correctly and that their footwear is fitting correctly.

During school years kids are going through a period of rapid growth and external forces, such as footwear pressure, have the potential to contribute to joint, soft tissue, skin or nail pathology.

With the amount of time kids spend running, jumping and playing on hard surfaces, it’s important that we give them an appropriate level of support for their activities.

Please note - we have limited appointments before the term starts, so please call to get your kids in for their annual orthotic reviews if needing to do so 😊 👟

Podiatrists play an important role in addressing concerns with children and adolescents feet and lower limbs, their walking and running patterns and gross motor development.
Children’s feet and legs are more malleable to change when they are younger, often early Podiatry treatment can improve children’s strength and coordination and reduce the likelihood of foot and lower limb problems occurring in adulthood.
Children’s Conditions our Podiatrists help manage:
🦶 Children’s Heel pain (previously called Sever’s)
🦶 Persistent foot, ankle and leg pain
🦶 Knee pain (Osgood Schlatters)
🦶 Flat feet in children
🦶 Growing pains
🦶 Gait concerns such as intoed gait (pigeon toe) and tip-toe walking
🦶 Frequent tripping, clumsiness, awkward walking and running patterns
🦶 Fatigue easily, activity avoidance
🦶 Joint hypermobility in children
🦶 Bone pain in children and adolescents

Here at Foundation Podiatry we take pride in the results seen with appropriate intervention at the right time leading to healthy results for children later in life.

If your child is complaining of foot pain, it's recommended to see a children's podiatrist. Learn more about all conditions our children's podiatrist can manage.

Awesome weekend of continued learning for Hayley @ The Lower Limb Conference in Brissie 🦵🏼 🦶 👩‍🎓

Achilles tendon pain 😓

Like with most over-use soft tissue injuries, our approach at Foundation Podiatry to managing Achilles tendinopathy is to "calm it down – build it up".

Achilles tendinopathy often occurs when there has been an increase in load placed on your lower limb that your body has not had the capacity to deal with resulting in injury.

Other contributing factors however may can include:
🦶🏼 Medical factors – Insulin resistance/ Type 2 Diabetes, Rheumatoid arthritis and
other conditions affecting integrity of collagen fibres
🦶🏼 Peri and Post-Menopause can affect tendon resilience and repair
🦶🏼 Age 30 +
🦶🏼 Overweight
🦶🏼 Some medicines (eg. steroids, antibiotics) may increase the risk of Achilles tendon
injury
🦶🏼 Lifestyle factors such as inadequate sleep and stress affect your body’s ability to
repair injured tissue

😀 Our Biomechanical Podiatrist Hayley has 20 years' experience and is trained to diagnose and effectively treat achilles tendinopathy and other complex foot, ankle and lower limb complaints.
