Balance Awareness Week 14-20 September 2025 - Better Balance starts from the ground up and Podiatry plays a role in keeping you steady on your feet!

Your feet are the foundation of your balance. If they’re sore, unstable, or not supported properly, your risk of trips and falls increases.

5 Tips for better balance:
1. Wear supportive, well-fitted shoes
2. Try simple balance exercises (like standing on one foot while brushing your teeth or while you are cooking!)
3. Get your feet checked regularly – conditions like bunions, nerve issues, or poor circulation can throw your balance off
4. Custom orthotics can help improve stability and confidence in every step
5. Regular exercise is so important to keep you on your feet and keep your muscles strong and steady.

Remember: Strong, healthy feet = better balance = fewer falls. Book your foot health check – a steady step is a safe step!

Sore, swollen or infected around the nail? That could be an ingrown toenail. And no - you don’t have to live with it.

Ingrown toenails are incredibly common and can be caused by tight shoes, incorrect nail trimming, or even genetics. The good news? Relief is easier than you think. Our podiatrists can provide gentle, professional nail care, pain relief and infection management, and minor procedures for long-term correction

Your boots work just as hard as you do. But are they supporting you the way they should?

Poorly fitted or worn-out work boots might be contributing to:

🚨 Heel and arch pain
🚨 Lower back issues
🚨 Blisters, calluses, and ingrown toenails
🚨 Fatigue

Our podiatrists can assess your footwear, posture and gait (how you walk) to recommend boots that support your body and the way you work. The right boot is a great starting point to better foot health.

Remember: discomfort can lead to poor performance. Book your fit assessment today.

Do your feet feel tired, sore, or just not right at the end of the day? Custom foot orthotics are more than just insoles - they’re precision-designed, practitioner-prescribed devices that support how you move.

If you’re dealing with foot, ankle, knee or back pain, orthotics might be able to help.

Our clinicians complete a thorough examination, including understanding your daily activities, watching how you move and a comprehensive lower-limb assessment to create a treatment plan tailored to your unique situation.

It’s National Diabetes Week 🦶

Did you know Diabetes impacts your blood vessels and nerves throughout your body? The vessels and nerves in your feet have travelled the furthest, so they can be the first to show signs of damage. And if you have reduced blood flow and damaged nerves in your feet? This slows down healing, reduces your ability to cope with daily activity and increases your risk of infections and ulcers (wounds that don’t heal).

Podiatrists play a key role in early detection and prevention. In fact, it is recommended that everyone with diabetes has their feet checked for signs of complications at least every year.

📅 Don’t wait. Schedule an appointment with one of our podiatrists!

Removing the callus and cracks can be done safely and effectively by your podiatrist. 🧑‍⚕️🦶

Your podiatrist will carefully debride the hard skin by hand, using their expertise to remove the ‘problem’ excess skin, but leaving the right amount of natural protection. A burr is then used to smooth the skin, getting rid of any uneven ridges.

The first signs of diabetes complications often show up in your feet. 🦶

When blood sugar is poorly managed, it can harm your nerves and blood vessel, especially in areas furthest from the heart and brain. That means your feet are often the first to feel the effects.

Don't ignore numbness, tingling, or pain. Your feet could be telling you something important!

Research shows that the best way to improve foot posture is to practice walking like a penguin.

How to walk like a penguin: Bend slightly and walk flat-footed, not heel, toe, heel, toe.

Happy April Fool’s Day! 🐧

Really though… if you have foot concerns or issues, please consult with one of our podiatrists.
