Foot or Leg Pain Appointment.
Get your recovery back on track.

If you have leg, knee, ankle or foot pain, this appointment is for you.

At our Holland Park West and Newmarket Clinics, your comprehensive assessment includes a detailed, computer assisted, assessment of your walking (and/or running style) using a specialised treadmill featuring pressure sensors and slow motion cameras.

A trial is usually commenced, during the initial consultation, to help establish the diagnosis and best management options. Your Podiatrist may also refer you for imaging (e.g. Xray or Ultrasound scan).

We then work with you, to develop a treatment plan designed to help you return to an active, pain-free lifestyle.

You don’t have to live with lower limb pain.
