We love our dads. Their jokes? We’re still working on it. 😂
Happy Father’s Day from the HPS team—toe-tally hope you all have a great weekend celebrating the men in your life. 🦶💙

Brains full. Great snacks. Morning complete. 🧠✔️
A big thanks to Hunter Performance Physiotherapy for a great morning of learning, sharing ideas and talking all things exercises for return to sport and everyday life.
Different professions, shared goal: helping our patients keep moving. 🙌

What are you getting your dad for Father's Day this weekend?
Another pair of socks? Maybe.
Something to help look after the feet inside them? Even better. 👣
Pop into Hunter Podiatry Services and put together a practical foot-care gift for Dad from our retail range. Our team can help you choose products suited to his needs—whether he spends his days in work boots, running shoes, golf shoes or his favourite questionable pair of thongs.
And if Dad has ongoing foot pain or another concern, a podiatrist can assess it and recommend care based on what he actually needs.
Because Dad’s feet have carried him through a lot. They deserve a little attention too.

A big thank you to Craig from Newcastle Mobility for sharing his time and knowledge with us! 👟🦶
We loved learning more about medical-grade footwear and the options available for people who need a little extra support, comfort and function from their shoes.
If your feet need more than the average shoe can offer, Craig is your man! Head in and see the team at Newcastle Mobility in Hamilton for all things footwear. 👣

Corns and warts can be sneaky little lookalikes—and they don’t always present as textbook Wart 101. 👀
The can be in the same spots. And give similar discomfort. Very different causes and treatments.
Not sure what’s underfoot?
Read our blog to learn how to spot the difference. 📖

There’s nothing quite like investing time—and money—into quality, face-to-face CPD. 🙌
No matter how good online learning becomes, or how clever AI gets, neither can truly replace sitting in a room filled with fellow podiatrists and other health professionals, listening to someone who is a genuine specialist in their field.
Leighanna, Ange and Sarah recently had the pleasure of learning from Dr Ivan Bristow, exploring all things dermatology for podiatry—from warts to fungal infections and everything in between.
Days like these leave you with renewed enthusiasm, fresh ideas and practical knowledge that can be implemented immediately—helping us continue to create even better outcomes for our patients.
They also apparently leave you with quite a caffeine habit…and a sudden hankering for a few dermatoscopes! 😂🔎☕

As we draw near to the end of August, we’re celebrating our last two winter babies—Hayley and Danielle! ❄️🎂
Each brings something wonderfully unique to the HPS family: Danielle keeps everything running smoothly with her fabulous admin skills, while Hayley works her podiatry magic helping our patients feel their very best.
We’re incredibly lucky to have them both on our team. Happy birthday, Hayley and Danielle! 💙🥳

Last week, our podiatrist Emily gave the team a little insight into something she currently has some very first-hand experience with… pregnancy! 🤰🦶
While growing a tiny human is impressive enough, pregnancy can also bring some surprising changes from the ankles down.
As your body changes, increased fluid retention, weight gain and hormonal changes can affect your feet and lower limbs. Some women notice swelling, aching feet, changes in foot size, flatter arches or simply discover that their favourite shoes suddenly feel a whole lot less friendly!
Em took us through what happens to our feet during pregnancy, why it happens, and how these changes can affect comfort, mobility and everyday life.
And with Em currently expecting herself, the timing of this particular topic couldn't have been better. 😂
The good news? You don't necessarily have to just put up with sore, swollen or uncomfortable feet until baby arrives. Appropriate footwear, support and a little podiatry advice can make those nine months much more comfortable.
Thanks Em for sharing your knowledge with the team… and for providing some very dedicated real-life research! 💕👣
And to all the ladies...what happened to your feet while you were pregnant??

Back to uni for the day 👣🎓
No exams. No assignments. Just a room full of podiatrists learning, catching up, trying new things and remembering just how supportive and collaborative our profession really is.
Different clinics, different areas of practice and different stages of our careers, but plenty to learn from each other.
Great CPD, great conversations and a great way to spend a work day.

Podiatrists… what’s one thing you wish they’d taught us at uni? 😂

Ingrown toenails can be debilitating! I’ve seen some of the most tough and resilient people brought undone by a little piece of toenail! If you’ve ever had one you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. The mere thought of a tight bedsheet pressing on the toe can bring a grown…
