Concerned About Flat Feet?

There are certain types of feet that can contribute to problems in the feet, legs and back. Fortunately, not all flat feet are bad. In fact, hypermobile flat feet can be a normal part of development in toddlers and young children but there's a certain point when things should stabilise. If they don't, that's when we can help.

Aching feet, sore legs, knee pain, overuse injuries, heel pain, shin pain, growing pains, and even back pain can be the result of unstable feet. Fortunately, we're here to help.

You may notice more space at the top of the toes once taped. This reflects reduced joint compression and improved toe alignment, one reason taping can temporarily improve comfort.

Bunion taping is a short-term strategy we use to:
✔️ Reduce pressure through the big toe joint
✔️ Calm irritation around the bunion
✔️ Improve comfort with day-to-day movement

But it’s not JUST about relief 👀

If your pain improves when taped, it gives us valuable information that joint alignment and loading are driving your symptoms, which helps guide the next steps in treatment.

This taping won’t “fix” a bunion, but it can be a useful symptom management + assessment tool along the way.

Quick thank you to Dr Angelo Salerno for taking the time to provide our podiatrists with an update on all things related to foot surgery.

Angelo provided some valuable insights regarding various surgical treatment options available for nails, bunions, hammer toes, nerve complaints and numerous other foot problems.

Most foot and leg problems we see each day don't require a surgical fix but it's important to know what's available when conservative options are not quite enough.

But here’s the good news! If caught early, it can be prevented and even reversed!

🦶Corns and calluses might seem small… but they can cause BIG problems if ignored.

What starts as a little hard skin can quickly turn into pain, limping, postural changes, and even long-term foot issues, especially if you’re active or on your feet all day.

In our latest blog, our Podiatrists explain:
✨ What corns and calluses actually are
✨ Why they form (and why they keep coming back)
✨ The hidden risks of leaving them untreated
✨ How podiatry treatment removes them safely
✨ How orthotics, footwear and strengthening stop them from returning
✨ Simple home strategies to protect your feet

These aren’t “just cosmetic.” Treating them early keeps you moving comfortably, prevents future complications, and protects your knees, hips and lower back from compensating.

If your feet are feeling sore, pressured or “like you’re walking on a stone,” it’s time to get them looked at 👣

Experiencing arch pain? Here’s what you need to know.

Arch pain is one of the most common foot complaints we see, and it doesn’t just affect runners or athletes. Whether you’re on your feet all day, exercising regularly, or wearing unsupportive footwear, pain through the arch can quickly start to impact your comfort, posture, and daily life.

Arch pain may feel like:
✅ A dull ache or tightness through the mid-foot
✅ Sharp or burning pain along the arch
✅Discomfort first thing in the morning
✅ Pain that worsens after long periods of standing

In many cases, arch pain has a clear cause, such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, footwear issues, muscle weakness, or sudden changes in activity. The good news? With the right assessment and treatment, it’s very treatable.

At Posture Podiatry, we take the time to assess how your feet function, how you walk, and what’s contributing to your pain. From there, we create a personalised treatment plan that may include orthotics, footwear advice, shockwave therapy, taping, and targeted strengthening exercises to support long-term recovery.

If arch pain has been lingering, worsening, or affecting how you move, don’t ignore it. Early treatment can make a big difference.

🏃‍♀️ Shin pain every time you run or train?

That burning or aching pain along the shin, often called shin splints isn’t something you should just push through. Shin pain is usually linked to training load, calf strength, footwear and foot mechanics, and it responds best when treated early.

At Posture Podiatry, we focus on understanding why your shin pain started, not just where it hurts, so we can help you return to training stronger and pain-free.

👉 Read our blog where we demystify shin pain, bust common myths and explain evidence-based treatment options:

Ever wondered how foot function can contribute to back pain?

Our latest blog post explains the foot and back pain relationship in full detail. Your feet set the foundation for your entire body.

When foot and leg motion is limited, unstable, uneven or imbalanced, it can change how you walk—sending extra stress up the chain to your knees, hips, and even your lower back.

Small changes at the feet can make a big difference in the management of back pain.
