At your initial appointment we will take a thorough history of your presenting complaint and sports injury including a comprehensive medical history. We will conduct an extensive biomechanical assessment to determine the contributing factors of your sports injuries. Our podiatrists will make immediate recommendations for your treatment that may include the use of strapping, splinting, padding and temporary innersoles to treat your presenting complaint. If necessary, we can refer you for specific diagnostic imaging including X-ray, Ultrasound and MRI.

We will formulate a comprehensive treatment plan designed to treat and rehabilitate your injury effectively and efficiently. Once you have recovered, we will provide you with an ongoing exercise program to help prevent future injury. We believe in a holistic approach to care and if required we will make referrals to our network of highly skilled allied health professionals.
