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.

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!

MOON BOOTS. Why are they called Moon Boots? A Controlled Ankle Movement Walker (CAM Walker) is used to treat fractures and injuries where immobilisation and weight offloading is required. Contrary to popular beleif, Moon Boots need to be clinically sized, fitted and customised to the shape of the foot and leg. At My Foot Dr Wantirna we select the best Moon Boot for the patients needs from a range of 4 different types and 5 different sizes.
As they are correctly fitted, often our patients do not need crutches. The walkers are easily removed for showering and are super easy to walk. So next time you are asked to have a plaster on your foot, ask for a Moon Boot (CAM Walker) from My FootDr Wantirna...
