If moving hurts, it doesn’t always mean something is “damaged.”

Sometimes your body is protecting you because your brain doesn’t feel safe yet.

When your brain feels safe:
• Movement feels easier
• Pain often settles quicker
• Your body stops fighting you

That’s why pushing through pain, forcing exercises, or being told to “just strengthen it” doesn’t always work.

Rehab works best when your body feels supported, controlled, and confident - not rushed or forced.

Feeling safe in movement comes before feeling strong.

👣 If you’ve been stuck with foot, ankle, or lower-limb pain and feel like you’ve tried everything, there may be a missing piece.

Recovery isn’t a straight line - and that’s okay.

Most people think healing from an injury should look like steady progress:
each week better than the last.

But real recovery doesn’t work that way-

Some days feel great.
Other days symptoms flare.
You might feel like you’re going backwards - even when you’re not.

That doesn’t mean something is wrong.
It means your body is adapting.

Every body heals differently.
And the right rehab plan meets you where you are adjusting as you go, not forcing a timeline.

If you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or unsure why your pain keeps returning, it may be time for a different approach.

I’m now consulting in Subiaco, helping people understand why they’re sore and what their body needs to move forward with confidence - from the feet up.

One of the things that genuinely excites me about living and working in Perth is how easy it is to move.

Walking paths everywhere.
Reliable public transport (this moment on Transperth really caught my eye).
And weather that actually invites you outside ☀️

As a podiatrist, movement is part of who I am - not just what I teach or treat.
I walk as much as I can. I walk to work I catch public transport. I build movement into my day because it doesn’t need to be complicated to be effective.

That philosophy carries straight into my work.
Helping people move more comfortably, more confidently, and with less fear - from the feet up.

Perth removes so many barriers to staying active.
You just have to step outside 👣

Today I cried in front of a client - in the best possible way.

A young man had stopped doing the things he loved because his feet were sore.
No one had explained why it was happening or what he could do about it.

Once he understood his body, everything changed.

Understanding removes fear.
Clarity builds confidence.
And confidence helps you move again.

This is why I do what I do - not just to treat pain, but to help people understand their bodies so they can get back to living.

This is the start of something new.

I’m now taking appointments in Subiaco for people dealing with foot, ankle, or lower limb pain - especially when things haven’t quite added up or haven’t fully settled.

My work focuses on:
• understanding how your feet move
• how that affects the rest of your body
• and what needs to change to support better movement

No quick fixes.
No one-size-fits-all solutions.
Just a considered, movement-based approach from the feet up.

If your feet don’t move well, the rest of your body pays for it.
Let’s start where it matters.

Think bone spurs are just “wear and tear”?
It’s often more than that.

Bone spurs can form when a joint doesn’t feel stable.
Your nervous system senses this lack of control and tries to protect the area by laying down extra bone.

The problem?
That extra bone can actually limit movement and cause more stiffness or pain, instead of fixing the real issue.

This isn’t just about ageing or damage.
It’s often about how well the joint is moving, coordinating, and being controlled.

That’s why stretching alone usually isn’t enough.
We need to improve how your body moves and stabilises, so your nervous system feels safe again.

✨ Stability before flexibility. Control before correction.

If you’ve been told you have bone spurs, joint stiffness, or ongoing foot or ankle pain, this is something we can assess properly.

Rolled your ankle before?
Still getting pain on the outside of your ankle or lower leg?

Kinesiology tape isn’t about “supporting” your ankle - it’s about helping your body sense and control movement better.

When used properly, taping can help guide how your foot loads and pushes off, which may reduce strain on the outside of the ankle and lower leg after repeated sprains.

Tape alone isn’t the fix - but combined with the right assessment and movement retraining, it can help break the cycle of recurring ankle issues.

Once seen as a sign of intelligence in ancient Greece and Rome...
Today it’s more commonly called Morton’s tor

If your second toe is longer than your big toe, your foot loads and moves differently to the textbook “normal” foot.
That does mean it’s a problem - unless you’re in pain .

Heel pain, forefoot pain, metatarsalgia, toe pain or recurrent overload issues often need a different assessment and treatment approach when this foot type is involved.

One-size-fits-all advice doesn’t work here.

Assessment is individual and based on how your foot functions, not just how it looks.

Best hack for footwear ever a really simple way of making sure that your shoelaces never come undone throughout the course of the day!

Footwear needs to match how your foot moves, not just a brand or trend.

A large number of clients presenting with “plantar fasciitis” are actually experiencing nerve-related heel pain.

Heel pain is frequently used as a catch-all diagnosis, yet in many cases the symptoms are referred rather than locally driven. Neural irritation can originate from restrictions or poor load management in the foot, ankle, calf, or further up the kinetic chain - sometimes above the knee and into the hip.

When movement strategies are inefficient, the nervous system compensates.
That compensation often presents as heel pain, even though the primary driver is not the plantar fascia itself.

Neural sensitivity can secondarily contribute to soft-tissue irritation and fascial inflammation , but unless the source of neural load is addressed, local tissue treatments alone rarely create lasting change.

This is where stabilisation matters.

Effective management requires:
• understanding how poor foot control increases neural load
• recognising when pain is referred rather than local
• restoring foot-ankle stability to normalise movement and sensory input

Interventions may include neural-based strategies, movement-facilitating insoles (not passive support), targeted exercise prescription, and fascial techniques - all aimed at improving control, not just reducing symptoms.

🎓 If you want to improve your ability to identify and manage nerve-driven heel pain, foot stabilisation principles are foundational.

Many people I see were told they have plantar fasciitis, but not all heel pain is coming from damaged tissue in the heel.

In some cases, heel pain is actually nerve-related.

When nerves become irritated or sensitive, they can send pain to areas away from the original problem. That means the heel can hurt even though the source of irritation may be coming from the foot, ankle, calf, knee, or even higher up the leg.

This often happens when:
• movement is inefficient
• certain areas are overloaded
• other areas aren’t doing their share of the work

The nervous system reacts to this imbalance, and pain shows up where the body is struggling most — often the heel.

That’s why treatments focused only on the painful spot don’t always help.

A proper assessment looks beyond the heel to understand:
• how your nerves are being loaded
• how your foot and leg are moving
• what’s keeping the nervous system irritated

Care may include hands-on treatment, movement-based exercises, and where appropriate, insoles used to support better movement, not just cushion pain.

👣 If your heel pain burns, tingles, feels sharp, or keeps returning despite treatment, nerve sensitivity may be part of the picture.
