Over the past 15 years we have been developing a holistic approach to foot and leg pain with techniques and custom prescription tailored to each individual's needs.
Our treatment specialties are as follows:
We use digital treadmill gait analysis, running analysis for biomechanical evaluation and use the latest 3DÂ scanning equipment to capture the foot in its purest form. Our custom made orthoses are flexible and extremely comfortable. No two pairs are the same; we tailor the orthoses individually to suit each patient's needs. Whether it be for sport or for everyday use we have the right fit for everyone.
ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves.
Reduces back pain, hip pain, shin splints, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and general foot pain are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART.
Joint mobilisation therapy (JMT) is a podiatry based approach to free joint restrictions and improve the range of motion of the feet, knees and hips.
JMT uses gentle controlled movements to position joints back into their natural alignment by taking your feet through their normal, natural range of motion, which can further eliminate pain.
By using JMT techniques, your podiatrist will provide a tailored muscle strengthening and rehabilitation program which will provide increased support to the joints in your feet and legs. This will achieve long term results and allow you to enjoy pain free feet and legs!
Exercise rehabilitation plays an important role in addressing muscle imbalances, injury prevention and rehabilitation.
We have found that these imbalances may be addressed using simple exercises that target the imbalance and achieve optimal foot function optimally.
Our tailored programs provide each patient with a clear plan so that all patients may control their own rehabilitation.
Soft tissue therapy is important in relieving conditions that involve muscle adhesions in areas around the foot, ankle, shin, hamstring and sports overuse injuries.
We provide trigger point therapy, massage and acupuncture depending on the specific condition presented.
Core stability plays a major role in controlling foot pronation and is often left untreated until adulthood. We provide management plans for stability programs to strengthen the core and help prevent injury.
We provide extensive stretch training for injury prevention and sport preparation. At Better Health we teach you how to perform each stretch and supervise your first efforts. We also provide detailed photos for you to follow at home.
Our Sports podiatrist is an avid runner and triathlete so any questions regarding training, nutrition, injury prevention and running assessment is right up our alley. We are also highly experienced in providing strengthening and injury prevention for netball players, footballers, Dancers, soccer, hockey, athletics and tennis players.
