Your knees, ankles and feet do a lot for you, it’s time to return the favour
Our feet house a quarter of the bones in our entire body, in addition to various muscles, ligaments and joints. This makes them extremely vulnerable to injury and diseases that can affect the whole body.
Our articles give you practical, easy-to-understand information you can rely on. From everyday aches and pains to footwear tips, injury prevention and long-term foot care, you’ll find simple guidance to help you stay active, comfortable and confident at every stage of life.

When should I see a podiatrist?
You may be experiencing pain in your feet, ingrown or discoloured skin/nails, corns, skin rashes, foot odour, foot injuries, broader health problems such as diabetes or arthritis, recurrent tripping or falling, problems fitting comfortably in your regular shoes, or you may notice swelling, lumps, or redness on your feet or legs.
Podiatrists use a combination of medical, surgical and rehabilitation techniques to provide personalised care to alleviate pain, restore mobility and improve a person’s quality of life. They can independently request radiological imaging, administer local anaesthetic drugs and perform minor surgical procedures.
