We are continuously impressed by the creativity of our patients!

Check out this clever repurposing of timber from an old pallet, a bit of 150 grit sandpaper and you’ve got yourself a handy tool for keeping on top of heel callus. Add a stain like this client did and it will look fantastic too. Nicely done!👌

Another simple but effective tool is using a ruler wrapped with a face washer and secured with a rubber band, perfect for drying between your toes.

Friday night on the Brooks Hyperion House Boat - what a way to end the week! 💚

Almost 20yrs ago Phil met Ted from Brooks Running He was impressed back then how progressive the brand were with materials science and running mechanics - Ted is still with Brooks, and they're still pumping out leading tech 🤘

Was great to catch up with a few familiar faces and be one of exclusive chosen ones 😄 Thanks for the invite mate

Best of luck to all running tomorrow at the TCS Sydney Marathon ! 💪

🌻As we step into Spring, many of us want to soak up that sunshine and increase our activity levels. Whether it's walking, running, or simply spending more time outdoors. But did you know that seasonal changes can impact your foot health? Here’s some common conditions to look out for this spring.

Plantar Fasciitis or Shin and Arch Pain the plantar fascia is designed to absorb the high stresses and strains
we place on our feet. A sudden jump in activity without support can trigger discomfort. Stretching and correct footwear are key.

Fungal Infections Damp shoes and public pools can lead to fungal Infections

Heel Cracks Dry air and open footwear can cause painful cracks especially in older adults.

If you experience any of these conditions we are here to help, book your spring foot check up by calling Birdwood Podiatry on (02) 47076558 or visit birdwoodpodiatry.com.au to book an appointment online

Sometimes it's best to seek the help you need - shout out to Jordan at , treating a running injury that's just a bit too awkward to reach 😅 Gives a solid massage where it's needed too (a little bit of pain never hurt anybody, if you know what I mean)

Balancing the life of a podiatrist as well as a runner sometimes tips the wrong way, and it's lucky we have such a great choice of health practitioners in the mountains.

Don't let your injuries drag on, seek the help you need - and while you're there ask if you have all the bases covered - Rehab with the Physio, posture and stability with the Podiatrist, strength work with an Exercise Physiologist, greater movement with your Osteopath - PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE 👌

The Push-Up Challenge from 4-26 June 2025 is to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. The challenge is to complete 3,214 push-ups.

This is important to me, because 3,214 people died by su***de in Australia in 2023 (the most recent stats), and I want to do something about it. Funds raised will go towards much-needed mental health services and initiatives in Australia.

A very big shout out to Helen, the lady behind the scenes at completing her FIRST ever trail event, and first HALF-MARATHON ever on Friday at ! 🏃‍♀️💪

We couldn't be more proud here, knowing how much else she has going on. Amazing support from Krystle right through to the finish has created a memory I'm sure they won't forget 💚

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who participated in some really tough conditions. You're all AMAZING

If you've pulled up sore with a ni**le, keep the fluids up (not alcohol!) and keep the load low. BLISTERS are a common sight for us here, and with cold season here we've had a few cancellations- give us a call if you need! 📞 47076558

WELL DONE EVERYONE!
