Frequently Asked Questions
Evidence-based podiatry care including biomechanical assessment, gait analysis, nail surgery, custom orthotic prescription, padding and strapping, and footwear advice. We work alongside our physiotherapy and sports medicine team so you receive integrated care under one roof.
Every appointment begins with a thorough history and clinical assessment. Where we suspect your symptoms are being driven by a loading issue, we use strength and movement analysis — including gait analysis and force-plate testing — to understand how your feet and lower limbs manage load, whether you’re walking to work, returning from injury, or training for performance. Conditions we can treat in isolation, we do: Tania provides dedicated care for ingrown toenails — including nail surgery under local anaesthetic — fungal nails, corns, calluses and cracked heels. Either way, you’ll leave with a clear, staged treatment plan focused on the underlying cause, not just the symptoms. And because we share a clinic with physiotherapists and sports medicine doctors, referrals for imaging, strength programs or specialist review happen quickly — without repeating your story.
Foot and ankle problems rarely resolve on their own — and small issues often become painful, activity-limiting ones when ignored. Book an assessment if you notice heel pain with your first steps in the morning, arch or forefoot pain that builds with standing or exercise, a toenail that is ingrown, thickened or discoloured, recurring corns, calluses or cracked heels, or numbness, tingling or burning in the toes. If you live with diabetes, an annual foot health check is recommended even when you have no symptoms. Early assessment means simpler treatment, faster recovery, and less time away from the activity you love.
