What does Sports Podiatry focus on?
Sports Podiatry focuses on treating foot and lower limb conditions that stem from exercise and activity. We specialise in the relationship between activity, biomechanics, and foot function. The goal is to work with you to improve performance while reducing pain and preventing injury.
When should you see a Sports Podiatrist?
We see a range of patients with biomechanical problems from toddlers with unusual gait pattern to those patients in their 80’s and 90’s wanting to maintain their independence.
However, most of our sports patients range from teenagers through to the middle years of life. Many are playing school sports, are weekend warriors in their chosen sport or are elite athletes. More than half of our patients are referred to us by doctors, coaches, or physiotherapists.
Many of the conditions we treat are not just foot related but include calf injuries, achilles tendonitis, shin, knee, and hip pain.
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Heel Pain
- Knee Pain
- Hip Pain
- Sprains and Strains
- Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (Shin Splints)
- Muscle Fatigue
- Joint stiffness
- Blisters
- Bunions
- ITB pain
- Achilles Tendon pain
- Shin Splints
Treatments within the sports podiatry arena often include orthotics therapy. We have a range of “over the counter orthotics” and often use “prescription orthotics”. Your podiatrist will guide you through the best option for your foot condition and your lifestyle. Melbourne Foot Clinic has over 35 years of experience in the art of prescription of prescription orthotics and modification. Along with proper diagnosis, prescribing the correct orthotic is our speciality.
Melbourne Foot Clinic team has their own sporting history of football, netball, basketball, golf, triathlon, ironman, cross country running and skiing. Their activities have changed over the years at the clinic, but currently Rohan Coull is a passionate golfer and dog walker, Kyle Dalmau is an elite footballer and a busy dad, Stephanie Carter is an active mum and a fantastic netballer, Madeleine Murray is a current elite cross-country runner and dog walker, and Matt runs a lot for pleasure and keeps fit in the gym.
