Established in 1994, we are a team of qualified podiatrists providing professional foot-leg and shoe health & well being strategies in the following areas:
Foot-Leg Health and Well Being SolutionsThe foot-leg structure is crucial to good health and well being. Painful feet & legs impair mobility and inhibit the fundamentals of exercise. Exercise improves the health of the heart and lungs, reduces stress, lowers cholesterol and blood pressure, burns calories, and aids bone health. Therefore happy feet contribute to a successful health & well being program. Our team offers practical, scientifically proven solutions. Whether the condition is a corn on the toe, the rehabilitation of a leg injury or sporting footwear advice, our professionally accredited team, will offer a range of individual, group and corporate services.

The Sporting Foot
Epidemiology studies indicate the lower limb accounts for between 40% and 80% of injury. Lower limb health fund claims in 2015, accounted for in-excess of 42% of all claims (Medibank Private). Additionally, the majority of lower limb injuries are overuse (80%) due to poor technique, overuse and poor footwear habits. The results are not surprising given that most exercise regimes are weight bearing, requiring the lower limb linkage - feet, ankles, knees and legs.
The Centre For Podiatric Medicine has vast experience in the treatment of athletic and exercise related sports injuries, applying knowledge from over 20 years of service to elite athletes and professional sporting teams.
