How are we different?
Sore feet? We care. We listen. We want to understand you and YOUR feet. Above all, we want you to get better! This is what truly drives us. This means keeping up with the latest technology and being open to new evidence-based treatment options that could help you get back to what you love to do, faster. Alana and Hannah have undergone extra training for foot mobilisation therapy (FMT), nail bracing and MLS laser therapy. They are passionate and bring that energy into the clinic where they are known for going above and beyond what is required by a Podiatrist.

Podiatrists are experts in foot, ankle, and lower limb health, dealing not only with diagnosis and treatment, but also prevention and rehabilitation of all sorts of conditions for your sore feet including ingrown toenails, heel pain, plantar fasciitis, corns and calluses, plantar warts, biomechanical assessments, and general nail care.
Does my private health insurance cover Podiatry?
Most health insurance providers cover Podiatry. However, check with your health insurer to determine the amount of coverage provided before your appointment.
