As we wrap up for the year, I’d like to wish all of our patients, their families, the wider Bendigo community, my incredible reception team, and the team at 3D Physiotherapy a very Merry Christmas 🎄 and a safe, happy New Year.
Thank you for your support, trust, and collaboration throughout the year — it truly means a lot. From my family to yours, I hope you all enjoy a well-earned break filled with rest, laughter, and time with loved ones.
We look forward to seeing you again in 2026

Summer’s here and everyone’s getting moving again — walks, gym sessions, park runs, chasing the kids… it all adds up fast.

But here’s the truth most people learn too late:
Pain shows up after your feet have been struggling for a while.
By the time something hurts, your routine is already at risk.

Simple things make a huge difference:
👟 Choose footwear that’s comfortable and appropriate for the activity
🦶 Ease into new exercise instead of going from zero to hero
💪 Build basic foot and calf strength
📅 And get your feet checked before they start complaining

A quick assessment now can save you weeks of frustration later.

FastTrak Podiatry can make sure your feet are ready for a more active summer — not holding you back.

Book in with Tim and stay ahead of the pain, not behind it.

Those cracked summer heels aren’t “just dry skin.”
They’re your feet telling you they need attention — before they split, bleed, or stop you from enjoying the warm weather.

☀️ Hydrate properly
🧴 Use a quality urea-based moisturiser
🦶 And if you’re already seeing cracks… don’t wait.

FastTrak Podiatry can get your heels smooth, pain-free, and summer-ready — and keep them that way.

Stop putting it off. Book in with Tim and get your feet sorted before the heat ramps up.

✨ Friendly Reminder from FastTrak Podiatry ✨

Most private health extras reset on January 1…
So if you’ve been meaning to get those feet checked, now’s the time.

If you’ve got podiatry included in your cover, you’re already paying for it — don’t let it go to waste. A quick check-up can help with:

👣 Ongoing foot or heel pain
👟 Sports injuries in active kids and adults
🦶 Nail and skin care
🏃 Running or walking assessments
🦺 Orthotic reviews before the new year kicks off

Spots fill quickly at the end of the year, so consider this your nudge to look after your feet and make the most of your extras.

👣 Your Feet Deserve Better! Here’s Why You NEED a Podiatrist 👣

Would you wait until you had a full-blown cavity before seeing a dentist? Probably not! So why do so many people ignore their feet until they’re in serious pain? 🤔

Foot problems don’t just appear overnight—they build up over time. Catching issues early can save you from pain, missed workouts, and expensive treatments down the track.

In my latest blog, I break down why preventative podiatry is the key to keeping you active, pain-free, and on your feet longer. 💪🚶

Tag a friend who’s always complaining about foot pain but never does anything about it! 😂

When it comes to healthcare, most people only seek treatment when something goes wrong. But just like seeing the dentist for regular check-ups or visiting the physio to stay injury-free, your feet deserve the same attent...

🔥 Shin Splints Holding You Back? Let’s Fix That! 🔥

🏉🏐⚽ Pre-season is kicking off, and so is the risk of shin splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)—a common pain for netballers, AFL players, and soccer players! If you’ve ever felt that dull, aching pain along your shin after training or games, you know how frustrating it can be.

🚨 Why do shin splints happen?
✅ Sudden increase in training load (hello, pre-season!)
✅ Poor footwear or worn-out runners/boots
✅ Weak calf & foot muscles
✅ Hard playing surfaces

💡 How to stay on the court/field pain-free:
👟 Check your footwear— Good fitting and regularly updated runners & boots are a MUST
🦵 Strengthen your calves & foot muscles (think heel raises & toe curls)
🏃‍♂️ Gradually increase training intensity—don’t go too hard too soon
🧊 Ice & rest if soreness kicks in

🔥 Still struggling with shin pain? We can help with gait analysis, custom orthotics, and tailored strengthening plans to keep you moving! Don’t let shin splints derail your season—get on top of them early.

📍 Tag your teammates who need this & book an appointment at FastTrak Podiatry today!
