SEEING A PODIATRIST 

The positive impact of podiatric care changes the lives of one in five Australians who suffer from foot pain. Podiatrists are Foot Health Experts and understand the structure and movement of your feet and lower limbs. They can assess, diagnose and treat foot, ankle, knee, leg or hip pain. Given your feet alone house a quarter of you bones in your entire body, a podiatrist is best placed to get you moving, active and pain-free.
