Podiatry

Stop working around foot pain and get a clear plan.

Our podiatrists look at how your foot, ankle, and lower limb move as a whole system. Whether it is heel pain, arch discomfort, a running niggle, or a foot that has never felt right, we build a plan around you.

Start here

Request your podiatry assessment

Tell us a little about what is going on. We will follow up to arrange a time that works for you.

Foot pain has a way of becoming background noise.

You adjust your shoes. You skip the run. You stop walking the dog as far. Eventually you realise you have been working around your feet for months. That is where podiatry fits in. We assess the foot, ankle, and lower limb to find what is actually contributing to the problem, not just treat the spot that hurts.

What we assess

Common presentations

  • 01Plantar heel pain
  • 02Plantar fascial pain
  • 03General foot pain
  • 04Hypermobile foot disorders
  • 05Post-surgery rehabilitation

We also work closely with our physiotherapists and sports doctors when a wider assessment is useful.

Why Physiosports

Most people still think we only do physiotherapy.

We have had podiatrists as part of the team for over 20 years. That means when foot pain needs a wider look, our podiatrists, physios, and sports doctors can work together without sending you elsewhere.

Questions before you book

Do I need a referral?

No referral is needed to see a podiatrist.

Can I see a podiatrist if I am already seeing a physio?
