Podiatry

It all starts with the feet!

Our specialised podiatrists have a wealth of experience providing geriatric foot care for the Australian elderly. Foot health is important as foot mobility and lower limb control is important in fall prevention.

Foot conditions such as bunions, ingrown toenails and calluses are uncomfortable, leading to altered movements and limited mobility. Podiatric concerns are increased when the elderly person has other chronic health conditions such as diabetes. Services provided will include assessing skin integrity and managing skin irritations and sores.
