When’s the last time you checked your feet properly?
Foot pain isn’t the only sign something’s off. There are subtle red flags that are easy to miss — until they become a bigger problem.

Here’s how to do a quick but thorough Foot Health Check..
🔍 Look for:
- Dry, cracked heels or skin changes
- Toenail colour or shape changes
- Swelling, lumps or bumps
- Numbness, tingling or burning
- Changes in arch shape or alignment
- Pain with pressure or movement

💡 Your feet shouldn’t just be “not sore” — they should feel strong, stable, and support your movement with ease.

📍If anything feels off, get ahead of it. A quick podiatry check could prevent months of discomfort later.

Halfway through the school year! Will your kid’s shoes last until December? 👟

Here’s some tips from our Pods to help you make the best footwear choices!

Welcome to 2025 and a new school year! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Are those school shoes from last year looking a bit worse for wear? We've got some suggestions and tips for when it comes time to choose those new kicks!

🍏 Have you ever noticed that someone in your family wears their school shoes down in just one particular spot? Seeing a Podiatrist can help to identify any underlying concerns, assess foot health and provide a plan to remedy anything identified through gait analysis.
🍏 Try not to leave shoe purchases to the last minute! There is nothing worse than a blister on the first day of school - ideally the shoes should be worn in for a few hours each day before school starts.
🍏 Choose footwear with a supportive base and a sturdy heel cup. This means that the shoe cannot be bent in half, the part surrounding the heel cannot be squished and toes have enough room for wiggling, without sliding around inside the shoe.

Why Foot Mechanics Matter in Sport ⚽🏃‍♀️🏉

Your feet are your foundation — every sprint, jump, pivot and kick starts from the ground up.
If your foot mechanics are off, it can throw off your entire kinetic chain. Think: ankle pain, shin splints, knee issues, even hip and lower back problems.

👣 Proper foot function = better balance, power, control and injury prevention.
Whether you’re on the footy field, track or court — your feet are doing more work than you think.

🧠 Want to move better and train smarter? Start with your feet.

📍We assess and correct poor foot mechanics to keep you moving at your best.
