ONLY A STEP AWAY TO HEALTHY FEET

 

GENERAL FOOTCARE AND PODIATRY

In a lifetime our feet can suffer enormous wear and tear. A general maintenance program implementing the removal of hyperkeratotic skin or simply the management of difficult toe nails are a painless process that may be required,  to keep you walking in comfort for many years to come.

SPORTING INJURIES, REHABALITATION AND PREVENTION

Though sporting injuries can be incidental on many occasions’ abnormal biomechanics have found to be the major contributing factor to many injuries and ailments.  An assessment may reveal postural and lower limb imbalances that with the appropriate treatment will lead to a total reduction of symptomology and give you the edge in any sport you may wish to engage in.

BIOMECHANICS

Our feet are an example of complex human engineering. The key to prevention is correcting Biomechanical function. Harry has had continued success in the implementation of orthotic therapy. This has been greatly assisted with the use of the ABC‘s New Inventors award winning……………………        ‘FOOT ALIGNMENT SYSTEM’.

The FAS is the only scientifically proven mechanism that attains a corrective orthotic from a weight bearing casted position.  An accurate weight bearing cast is essential and arguably the most significant component for addressing inefficient biomechanics today.

CHILDREN’S ASSESSMENT/PAEDIATRICS

Assessing growing feet is something that needs to be seriously considered. Guidance and advice with minimal intervention could be the action required for the prevention of serious ailments to the growing child engaging in sport or otherwise.

INGROWN TOENAIL MANAGEMENT

Ingrown toe nails commonly occur as a result of incorrect nail cutting. Conservative Treatment and Prevention through podiatric guidance can achieve great outcomes.  In some chronic cases  a Partial Nail Avulsion may be the only solution. This procedure is commonly implemented in our practice with fantastic outcomes and long term success  for an ailment that has in previous years had mixed results in the field of general medicine.
