Foot Physiotherapy
Are you looking for a foot physiotherapist or are you needing physiotherapy for your foot or ankle condition? Would you be better off seeing a podiatrist specialising in holistic natural treatment of foot and leg pain?
Physios that use foot physiotherapy techniques do a great job and help a lot of people. However corrective podiatrists specialise in treating feet, ankle, knee and hip problems. That is all they do each day. Therefore they have a huge wealth of hands-on experience in dealing with foot and lower limb issues.
Podiatrist or Foot Physiotherapist – who do I choose?
Do you have painful feet? Our podiatrists specialise in foot ‘physiotherapy’ mobilisation techniques as well as osteopathic foot/ankle mobilisation techniques. These treatment modalities rehabilitate your feet and relieve your foot pain naturally. It’s called natural corrective podiatry. All this is done without orthotics, medication and surgery. Don’t be afraid to try a more holistic and natural approach when it comes to your foot pain. You may have tried foot orthotics in the past and in your frustration with them are now looking for an alternative to orthotics. Well you have come to the right place.
Techniques used by foot physiotherapists and podiatrists
Our corrective podiatrists use a range of techniques used by foot physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiroprators and masseurs to help you with complex foot problems. While resolving your pain is important, it is also necessary to work on preventing future issues from developing. Corrective podiatrists diagnose the underlying cause and treat postural and biomechanical injuries related to sports and exercise. A foot x-ray may be ordered by the podiatrist to confirm the presence of osteoarthritis.
Two common conditions a foot physiotherapist or corrective podiatrist will see are plantar fasciitis and achilles tendonitis. These conditions can be resolved naturally using the AllNatural system at the Foot Posture Centre. Comfortable footwear and foot insoles can help relieve symptoms in the short term. However, visiting a corrective podiatrist at the Foot Posture Centre will provide a more permanent solution. The goal is to correct the underlying cause of your problem. Corrective podiatrists work on restoring quality movement and function in your feet and lower limbs. This is combined with corrective exercises and postural correction and rehabilitation.
Orthotics are not needed in a lot of cases. These before and after images show what is possible with Foot Posture Centre podiatrists using natural corrective podiatry techniques. Note the improvement in foot and leg alignment.
While painkillers such as NSAIDs will give temporary relief to your foot pain, they only mask the problem. Foot and ankle joint mobilisation and corrective exercises will strengthen your feet, restore correct function and relieve your foot pain naturally.
Please call one of our centres to arrange a comprehensive initial assessment to determine if your foot pain can be resolved naturally. We have two locations, Forest Hill 9877 0056 and Ivanhoe 9499 2006.
Please come along to our information evenings and learn about our AllNatural system of solving your foot and leg pain naturally. During these information evenings you can ask our friendly podiatrists further questions about your foot and leg pain. They will be more than happy to guide you in the right direction.
See you soon!
