Know someone with heel or ankle pain? We can help.

There are so many things that are around and travel through those areas of the foot and ankle. For example, it could be anything from a thickened and or inflamed nerves, tendons or fascia, referred pain, through to plantar heel pain or tarsal tunnel syndrome just to name a few.

Here at Ankle & Sole Podiatry, we believe our role as biomechanical podiatrists is to offer tailor-made treatment programs designed to build strong and resilient feet and ankles, step by step, so you can get you back to doing what you love! Including whether you have an acute or old/chronic ankle or heel injury.

*** Clinic Special Offer ***
Over the next 3 weeks we are offering our patients 50% off their second pair of new orthotics, just in time for spring. Repeat: that’s your 2nd pair half price!

Fact time on sweat and nerves:
Did you know that our feet have 250,000 sweat glands, potentially producing up to 250ml of sweat per day? 😳 And they're incredibly sensitive - with around 8,000 nerve endings, it's no wonder foot pain can feel so intense. That’s why experienced and personalised assessment care is crucial!

Come check out our clinic and have a professional assessment done, or if you are someone who needs orthotics consider getting a second pair so as you don’t need to keep switching them between your sports shoes and your everyday work footwear.

Quiz time: Which do you think your foot contains more of; bones, ligaments/muscles/tendons or joints? (Also, see special offer below)

The answer is….they are a super complex structure, and, the foot contains more ligaments, muscles & tendons!

Each foot contains over 100 ligaments, muscles, and tendons, 33 joints and 26 bones, 2 sesamoid bones [plus extras... for some of use]

Issues in one area can affect so many things, and our goal is to set our patients up with treatment that aligns with your goals, and to help you move and stay active, no matter your age or previous injuries.

The variability between each and every one of us makes our job fascinating, as one simple exercise can do different things for different people, so here at Ankle & Sole Podiatry our job is to help you unlock what is going to make all the difference for your foot and ankle game – whether that helps you do better squats at the gym, run that next marathon more smoothly, or walk pain-free after injury or years of pain.

Also note: over the next 3 weeks we are offering our patients 50% off their second pair of new orthotics, just in time for spring.

What does a biomechanical podiatrist like me actually do? Part III 👣

You don’t need to be an elite athlete to take your movement seriously.

Whether you’re chasing consistency with training, a new PB or just love that post workout high, how your legs and feet move matters.

Tight hips, lazy glutes, unstable ankles and collapsed arches can quietly accumulate into those “mystery” ni**les and injuries, AND... in any case, impact how well you move and perform.

Improving function and performance helps all walks of life.
- The Elite,
- Weekend Warriors
- Desk Athletes
- And, Everyday Legends!

Let’s fine-tune your form and keep you doing what you love, pain-free.

What does a biomechanical podiatrist actually do? Part I 🤔🦶
In short? We analyse how you move.

From heel pain to knee, hip and back issues, we look at how your feet, ankles, and legs work together - and why that might be causing problems (pain, injury or dysfunction)

📉 It’s like a full-body movement audit, starting from the ground up.

📅 If you’re in your 30s or 40s and feeling ni**les or aches, book in. You’ll be surprised what we uncover, and what a long-term difference that can make.

Why your ankles and feet might be slowing you down (and what to do about it)

You're active. You train hard. You stretch. You hydrate. BUT if your feet and ankles aren't functioning well with the rest of your body, they might just be holding you back.
We see it all the time: dysfunctional feet (regardless of your foot type i.e. neutral/ collapsed/ high arches), tight calves, stiff joints through the big toes and ankles, symptoms that don't follow a straight forward pattern and those struggling to pace their running sessions... and guess what? These little issues can subtly eat into your performance or efforts... meaning that by addressing these issues... you're going to experience smother movements, less fatigue and more sustainability for the session, and for the long term.

Biomechanics isn't just for elite athletes - it's for anyone who enjoys being active AND for those being held back by a lack of confidence, dysfunction or injury.
An assessment of how you move [be that walking, run, or enter your activity/s] and offering simple yet effective solutions and tweaks can make your training smoother, faster, and way way way less injury-prone... Because let’s be honest: winning starts from the ground up. Come try us out to see what a difference we can make.

Foot health myths vs. facts 🦶💡

MYTH: “If there’s no pain, there’s no problem.”

FACT: Whilst it is great there is no pain, poorly functioning feet may develop foot issues over time and often it can be quite subtle. You might notice that...
- your shoes are unevenly worn
- your lower leg muscles are often tight or sore
- your feet or ankles feel unstable
- you notice there are differences in stability, strength and or tightness between your feet, ankles, legs and and hips
.. A biomechanical assessment might just be what you need. We're here to guide you to move well pain free using simple yet effective treatment modalities.

Don't wait for dysfunction to turn into pain. ✅ Book an assessment check-up today!

Foot myths and misconceptions busted 👟❌

Do "flat feet" always need orthoses or sturdy footwear?
Or do "weak ankles" need braces and supports to get through a hike or through games like hockey, netball or basketball?

Let’s clear that up:
Not all flat feet cause problems and a lot of us with "flat feet" probably have what we call "dysfunctional feet"... meaning they need to re-learn how to work as a team with the rest of the body. Arch supports and sturdy shoes can definitely help, but there is so much we can do BEFORE you take that path.

Weak ankles need retraining and strengthening in a functional way that supports the activities you enjoy. Being reliant on braces or supports isn't a long term strategy.

👣 Better answers start with a professional assessment and a tailor made treatment plan that aligns with goals and timeframes. Your feet and ankles will thank you.
