The Footcare Clinic

The Footcare Clinic The Footcare Clinic, Keysborough's first private podiatry practice since 1998, provides warm, family-like care where all clients feel valued.

We embrace diversity and focus on creating joyful experiences while helping you achieve your health goals. The Footcare Clinic was established in 1998. Kim started the business in a humble little room within a Chiropractor's building on Kingsclere Avenue. In 2000, Kim moved the clinic to its current location as the business required more space. Clients still fondly remember coming through the rear sliding door for their consultations. As the business continued to grow and the variety of services on offer expanded, Kim made the decision to convert her home/office into a full multidisplinary clinic in 2003. We're proud to have been serving the local residents of Keysborough and surrounding suburbs for 20 years. We love nothing more than to help everyone move well and feel great, so they can get back to doing what they love and enjoy.

Thinking of Starting Couch to 5K This Year? Your Feet Need Prep First! ๐Ÿƒ
โ€
We love seeing New Year fitness goals, but jumping straight into running without preparing your feet is a recipe for injury. Here's what to do BEFORE you lace up:

โœ… Get Proper Running Shoes
Not just trainersโ€”actual running shoes fitted to your foot type and gait. This is non-negotiable.

โœ… Strengthen Your Feet First
Spend 2 weeks doing daily toe curls, calf raises, and ankle circles. Build that foundation before adding impact.

โœ… Start on Softer Surfaces
Grass or tracks are kinder to beginner feet than concrete. Save the pavement for when you've built up strength.

โœ… Check Your Old Injuries
Had ankle sprains or foot pain before? Get them assessed now, not 3 weeks into your program when they flare up.

โœ… Invest in Good Socks
Moisture-wicking running socks prevent blisters. Trust us, it matters.

Your running journey starts with happy feet. Get them ready, and you'll actually make it to that 5K finish line! ๐ŸŽฏ
Need a pre-running foot assessment? We're here to helpโ€”book in before you start training.

Mrs. McIntosh is the reason I became a podiatrist.

It was 1993, Year 12 common room at Killester College. My maths teacher walked in raving about how amazing her feet felt after seeing a podiatrist. I had no idea what a podiatrist even was. That conversation changed my life.

She helped me see what this career could be. I made it my first preference, and here I am.

Today, Mrs. McIntosh came to The Footcare Clinic for her first appointment. As I'm still recovering from shoulder surgery, Ash - our brilliant podiatrist whom I've mentored since she graduated - treated her.

The woman who inspired my career, now cared for by someone I've mentored โค๏ธ

Never underestimate what a teacher can do ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿซ. Thanks Mrs. McIntosh. And thanks Ash for looking after her ๐Ÿ™

No referral is needed to see a podiatrist.
The only exceptions are if you're eligible for a Medicare-funded Chronic Disease Management Plan or if you're a War Veteran with a Gold Card.

That said, if another health professional has recommended you visit us, we'd appreciate receiving a letter from them. This helps us coordinate your care more effectively and keep them informed of your treatment progress.

SO... WHAT ACTUALLY IS A PODIATRIST? ๐Ÿค”

We get asked this ALL the time.

We're foot and lower limb specialists - think of us as doctors, but specifically for everything below the knee.

Basically, if it involves your feet or ankles and it's causing you grief - that's us.

Not just for old people. Not just for athletes. For anyone who walks around on their feet (so... everyone!).
