🏃‍♀️ Whether you're training for your first 5km, a marathon, or simply enjoy a weekend jog, your feet and ankles work incredibly hard to carry you.

Common running injuries such as heel pain, Achilles problems, shin pain, ankle sprains and stress injuries often develop gradually, but many can be prevented with the right footwear, strength exercises, training advice, and podiatry care.

Our blog explains how a Sanders Podiatrist can help you improve your running efficiency, and what you can do to prevent injuries so that you can keep doing what you love.

👣 Menopause can affect your feet too. Hot flushes, mood changes and sleep disturbances are well-known symptoms of menopause, but often the feet are forgotten during this time of life.

Hormonal changes can contribute to aching joints, changes in your foot shape, reduced cushioning and there is also an increased possibility of plantar fasciitis.

But with a little extra care, supportive footwear, and regular stretching, you can keep your feet comfortable and active throughout every stage of menopause.

👣 Do you have bunions or worried that you might get them? Or are they already starting to make everyday activities uncomfortable?

A bunion is more than just a bump on the side of your foot. It can cause pain, swelling, difficulty finding comfortable shoes, and may gradually affect the way you walk.

While genetics often play a role, certain footwear and foot mechanics can significantly make bunions worse. But early intervention can help to slow the progression. Treatment options include footwear advice, padding, exercises, and/or orthotics.

If you're noticing pain around your big toe joint or a developing bunion, don't ignore it. The sooner it's assessed, the more options you may have. Pop in and see us at one of the posidatry clinics in Stirling, Mt Barker or Linden Park. 💚👣💙

👣 We see many children and teens here at our family-friendly clinics. Often for these common problems because growing feet need the right support. 🏃🏃‍♀️🚶🏼‍♀️🚶

Many ongoing common foot problems in children can be prevented early with the right footwear, movement habits, and regular check-ups. From flat feet and heel pain to ingrown toenails and walking concerns, small issues can sometimes turn into bigger problems if left untreated.

At Sanders Podiatry, we help parents understand what’s normal, what to watch for, and when to seek advice. Early care can make a big difference to your child’s comfort, confidence, and development. 💙💚

We often find that problems in the feet are hereditary. If you can diagnose and act on them while the feet are still developing and growing in young children, then you’ll have a much better chance of correcting the problem before it becomes permanent.

👣 Cold feet, cramping, or pain when walking? It might be more than just tired legs…
