Ladies, let’s be honest heel pain can feel devastating. It’s not just the ache when you get out of bed in the morning or the sharp sting with every step. It’s the loss that comes with it

👠 The gorgeous heels you used to love but now can’t wear.
👟 The morning walks that have become too painful.
👜 The energy and confidence that pain slowly takes away.

Heel pain doesn’t just hurt your feet , it limits your lifestyle, your wardrobe, and sometimes even your sense of self.

But here’s the good news if you know the right characteristics your shoes need to support your heels, you can apply that knowledge across many types of footwear , not just your runners.

At Well Heeled Podiatry, we do things differently. We take the time to understand your story, your style, and your goals , then help you get all the key variables right. That means more comfort, more mobility, and the freedom to wear shoes that feel like you again.

Because when your heels are happy, your whole body moves better and your confidence comes back step by step. 💃

✨ You don’t have to give up on shoes, you just need the right guidance. And that’s what we’re here for.

🌿 Health Alert: Protect Yourself from Mosquito-Borne Skin Ulcers in Victoria 🦟

Have you heard about Buruli ulcers?

While they might sound alarming, we want to make sure you’re aware of what they are, how they’re linked to mosquitoes, and how you can protect yourself.

What are Buruli Ulcers?

Buruli ulcers are a skin condition caused by tiny parasites carried by certain types of mosquitoes (mostly sandflies). The condition starts as a small, itchy spot but can develop into a sore if left untreated.
Thankfully, with the right care, it’s treatable and manageable.

Why is this a concern in Victoria?

As our climate warms, mosquitoes that carry these parasites are becoming more common in Victoria. While cases are still noderately low, it’s always best to stay informed and take simple steps to reduce the risk.

💡 Simple Tips to Avoid Mosquito Bites & Prevent Buruli Ulcers:

Wear long sleeves & pants: Especially during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are more active.

Use insect repellent: A repellent with DEET or picaridin can help keep mosquitoes at bay.

Clear pooling water around your home: Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, so empty anything like birdbaths or containers that collect rainwater.

Add screens or nets: Use them while camping to keep mosquitoes out, particularly while sleeping.

Try mosquito traps: These can help reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home.

If You Spot a Suspected Ulcer, Here’s What to Do:

See a healthcare provider: If you notice any unusual spots or sores, it’s always best to get checked out. Early treatment is quick and simple!

Follow your doctor’s advice: Treatment usually involves medications to clear up the infection.

Keep the area clean: This helps prevent further irritation or infection.

By taking a few precautions, we can enjoy the outdoors without worrying about mosquitoes.

Stay safe, and if you have any concerns, reach out to your healthcare provider.

Today’s mentoring session was filled with valuable insights and case discussions.

We covered a range of topics including the Peads Gallop assessment, recognizing early signs of an autoimmune condition that presented during routine treatment, and navigating the complexities of a Grade IV Salter-Harris fracture in a 9-year-old. We also discussed a challenging forefoot injury case.

It’s always great to connect over lunch and coffee while diving deep into these real-world scenarios.

Mentorship truly helps refine our skills and broaden our understanding.

Struggling with Heel Pain During Pregnancy? You’re Not Alone!

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it can come with its own set of challenges – and one common issue many expectant mothers face is heel pain. 🦶

Whether it’s the sharp stabbing sensation or the constant ache, it’s a discomfort that’s all too real for many.

Here’s why it happens and how you can manage it:

Why Heel Pain During Pregnancy Happens:

Weight Gain: As your baby grows, your body carries more weight, putting extra pressure on your feet. This can strain your heels, leading to discomfort.

Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy hormones like relaxin cause ligaments to loosen, which can affect the arch of your foot and put stress on the heel.

Changes in Posture: As your body adjusts to your growing bump, your posture and gait shift, which can cause additional strain on your feet, particularly the heels.

Plantar Fasciitis: This condition, which causes inflammation of the tissue on the bottom of your foot, is more common during pregnancy and can lead to heel pain.

How to Relieve Heel Pain:

Proper Footwear: Invest in supportive shoes with cushioning. Avoid high heels and flip flops/ ballet flats that don’t provide enough arch support.

Minimise barefoot walking: this causes increase stress on the tissue under your feet during pregnancy.

Massage: Gentle massage can help relieve tension in the feet and calves. Try rolling a tennis ball under your foot or using a heat pack to relax the muscles.

Rest & Elevation: Give your feet a break! Elevate your feet when sitting and avoid standing for long periods.

Podiatrist Consultation: If your heel pain persists, it’s always a good idea to consult with a podiatrist to rule out underlying conditions like plantar fasciitis.

Pregnancy might be hard on your feet, but with the right care, you can stay comfortable and keep your feet happy. 👣❤️

🦶From Painful Plantar Warts to Happy Feet 🕺

Meet our brave and bubbly 10-year-old superstar who absolutely lives for the court and the dance floor. Whether she’s shooting goals on the netball court or busting moves in dance class, she’s always on the go — until a painful wart on her foot started slowing her down.

She first came to us with her mum after trying over the counter pharmacy treatments for a few weeks without success. Not only was the wart still there, but it had also started spreading with a new lesion popping up on her right big toe. Walking became uncomfortable, dancing was a struggle and even shoes were causing pain.

For kids like her, warts can become more than just a nuisance. They can spread quickly, cause significant pain and interfere with daily activities. Plantar warts in particular are more painful due to pressure from walking. These can be stubborn to treat, which is why some over the counter options that worked for other types of warts may not do the trick here.

We saw her every 2 to 4 weeks, applying a tailored treatment plan including a special at-home solution to help while she slept. Along the way, we also talked about ways to support her immune system because wart treatment isn’t just about what you put on the skin, but how the body responds from the inside too.

📷 After photo on 15th August — clear, happy skin ready to dance and play again.

Warts in children are common, but that doesn’t mean they should be ignored. Especially when they hurt, spread or get in the way of doing what they love. We’re so proud of her dedication and patience throughout this journey. We will continue to ensure the skin lines run through the lesion and the wart does not return.

Over the next two weeks we will continue with a natural skin irritant to ensure long lasting results.

Know a little one with a stubborn wart? Early support and the right plan can make all the difference.
