Heavy sled… but your form is falling apart halfway through? 👀
Your knees, ankles, and feet absorb every drive forward, especially when fatigue kicks in.
Small adjustments in sled push technique can improve stability, reduce strain, and help you generate more power with every step.
Train smart. Move better.
If discomfort keeps showing up during training, it may be time to get your movement assessed by a podiatrist.

The duality of a gym bag.
One pair built for the grind.
One pair built for the spotlight.
Choosing the wrong shoe for your training load can quietly overload your feet.
If pain keeps showing up after workouts, it may be time to look at more than just your programme.

Think it’s just a “bad nail”?
Discolouration, thickening, or lifting could be a fungal nail infection. It’s not just “a bad nail! Fungal nails develop gradually and often get worse if ignored.
5 signs to watch for:
🟡 Yellow, white, or brown nails
💅 Thick, brittle, or crumbly nails
⬆️ Nail lifting from the nail bed
🔹 Rough, ridged, or warped texture
😖 Pain or foul odor
Ignoring it won’t make it go away but early assessment makes it easier to manage.
At East Coast Podiatry, we check your nails and guide the right care to protect your feet.
Not sure if it’s fungal? Get it checked.

Every wart thinks it’s staying forever… until it meets Swift®. 😬
Plantar warts are caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), and they can hide deep in the thick skin of your feet.
Swift® Microwave Therapy works differently from traditional wart treatments, it delivers targeted microwave energy that helps your body recognise and fight the virus causing the wart.
Translation: The immune system finally realises the wart is NOT supposed to be there.
Your wart’s worst nightmare?
A podiatry appointment.

Notice a bump forming near your big toe? That could be a bunion developing.
Early signs often include:
• Tightness in your shoes
• Redness or soreness around the joint
• Your big toe leaning toward the second toe
Bunions don’t usually go away on their own, but early care can help manage symptoms and slow progression.
Not sure if it's a bunion? Get it assessed by a podiatrist.

Did you get the wrong insoles?
The wrong pair can increase strain instead of reducing it.
If your orthotics (insoles):
• Feel uncomfortable
• Haven’t improved your symptoms
• Or your pain has simply moved elsewhere
They may not match your walking pattern.
Orthotics should be prescribed based on accurate assessment — not guesswork. Book a professional assessment at East Coast Podiatry.

Why East Coast Podiatry?
The senior podiatrists leading the team are Dr. Michael Lai, Georgina Callaghan-Tay, Sani Kamis and Ari Tria, all of whom have years of clinical experience in public hospitals and institutes.
Dr. Michael Lai is an American Podiatric Surgeon who completed his surgical training and hospital residency in the United States. He received his doctorate from NYCPM in 1999 and has since served at hospitals in the United States, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Dr. Lai clinical interests is in utilising advanced modalities to reduce the debilitating effects of pain and sports injuries. Through his extensive medical experience and surgical training with some of the world’s leading podiatrists in the United States, Dr. Lai continues his specialisation in complex paediatric feet disorders.
Georgina Tay’s clinical focus is in paediatric podiatry. As a local mother who is keenly involved with her daughter’s development, Georgina understands a parent’s concern for their child’s feet, walking and postural conditions. Children can find clinic visits distressing, and her experience enables her to handle paediatric cases with the thoughtfulness that children need.
Abdullah Sani Kamis specialises in rheumatology and has extensive experience treating patients with pain stemming from various musculoskeletal and arthritic conditions. His clinical interest led him to pursue post-graduate and doctoral studies in the field of rheumatology podiatry. Sani is a member of the Faculty of Podiatric Medicine, Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons, Glasgow in recognition of his contribution to the field of podiatry through clinical and research experience.
Ari Tria Dzulkifle focuses on the management of acute cases such as common geriatric foot conditions to high risk diabetic foot conditions. Her clinical experience in Brunei’s primary hospital for almost a decade required her to frequently manage and treat patients with complications arising from various metabolic disorders. Presently, Ari spends most of her time at the Singapore Diabetic Foot Centre where the acute care team concentrates on treating diabetic patients with foot wounds with the goal of helping them avoid limb amputation.
