New Year, New Feet!
Are you a new year’s resolution kind of person? Rather than setting an all or nothing resolution to become a foot care master and invest in foot spas, fancy creams etc. we would like to encourage you to incorporate healthy foot behaviours into your every-day life.
Severs Disease
The return to sport for the year is certainly a highlight for a lot of families but it can often also mean the return (but not always) of tired and sore little bodies. If your child has complained of sore heels or appears to be limping after they have been running around or playing sport, they may have a common, age-related heel pain condition called Calcaneal Apophysitis. This condition is better known as Severs Disease.
What is Gait Analysis?
We use a video camera to record your motion and gait for examination. Once the analysis is complete, our technology including Parotec and video analysis allows our podiatrists to have a full picture of how your body functions while you are walking or running.
