Do you feel like you want to move more, but can't because of frustrating heel pain?

G'day, Ben here from Healthy Feet Podiatry. Just want to share a great success story we had with a client, Nathan.

So Nathan came to see us for his heel pain that he had for over 12 months. Nathan spent a lot of time on his feet, spending many hours at work, working in a manufacturing factory and as a trainer for his local footy club. Not to mention he had a little one at home, so plenty of hours running after them.

He was frustrated and felt like he could do more, but couldn't because of his heel. He would get pain first thing in the morning, then it would settle slightly and gradually get worse throughout the day at work, which would slow him down.

And then also at footy, running across the ground, he would dread. Sitting at home he'd relax, get up, walk around. And the pain would return, lasting for about half an hour before calming down again.

Nathan also mentioned he had a history of knee pain and multiple arthroscopes from over a decade ago, which impacted his confidence in his knee and mobility.

When Nathan came to see us, we thoroughly assessed his alignment, mobility, and strength. From there, we developed a customized treatment program, which involves some gentle hands on treatment, heel cups, and an exercise stretching program to fit with his busy schedule.

Without our help, Nathan would've continued to be frustrated and held back by his heel pain. It would've continued to impact his work, footy and home life. I'm very pleased to say, Nathan is pain free in his heel and moving better than ever.

He said, "I used to feel locked up. Now I have no pain from the waist down. I can't remember the last time I felt this good. Even the knees haven't felt this good. I'm more confident in the knee and I've no thoughts or issue running out on the ground to help an injured player, where before I'd get the younger trainer out there." Great stuff, Nathan, awesome to hear.

Concerned about your knee Pain?

G'day, Ben here from Healthy Feet Podiatry. Just want to share a great success story we had with a client Alex.

So Alex would come to see us for regular routine treatment of his nails and callus, and also for diabetes foot health checkups. And at one of the appointments, he mentioned that he had pain in one of his knees.

He said it was painful to walk. Even when lying in bed, it would keep him awake at night, and was becoming a hassle. Alex said it was definitely slowing him down, as Alex would travel a lot, stay in cities and walk to conferences or meetings he had.

He was doing a lot of walking day-to-day. Alex thought that it would just get better on its own if he just left it alone.

When he mentioned this, we organised a time to thoroughly assess his strength, balance and mobility, which revealed significant differences from left to right in all three areas.

From there, we developed a customized treatment program, which involves some gentle hands on treatment and a customized exercise program that he could do at home. And in a short amount of time, Alex knew he was improving and noticed the difference.

Without our help, Alex's knee could have got better over time on its own. It would have taken a bit longer, but given the results of his testing, future injuries were more likely given the imbalances that would have gone never addressed.

The great news is Alex is in no more pain. He's walking and moving better than ever. He said, "I'm walking distances and have no pain the next day. I don't even think about it anymore," which is great to hear.

So if you or anybody you know is suffering with knee pain like Alex, please call the number provided or click the link below, where I'll personally assess your feet and work out your best treatment options.

Do you have pain in your big toe joint that's stopping you from walking?

G’day. Ben here from Healthy Feet Podiatry. Just want to share a great success story we had with the client, Serge.

Serge would routinely come and see us for regular check-ups with his feet because of his diabetes. At one of his appointments, he mentioned he had pain in his big toe joint which was getting a lot worse. It was getting to the point that it was affecting his walking and mobility. He mentioned he would have to slow down, take smaller steps, do less walking to try and avoid the pain.

The problem was he wanted to lose weight. He was sick of taking insulin for the diabetes. That was causing the weight gain, and because of all that, he was feeling bloated. He wanted to walk 10,000 steps a day, but could only manage 5,000 to 6,000, and walking was his favourite and go-to exercise.

Serge thought this is something he would have to live with and accept, which was not the case.

When Serge first mentioned his pain, we organized a time, we thoroughly assessed his feet and his legs, sent him off for an x-ray. We determined for Serge that hands-on treatment was not going to be ideal as the big toe joint, due to all the arthritis, had become really rigid.

Instead, we used a carbon fibre spring plate, which was used to help stiffen up his shoes, reduce the amount of force going through his big toe joint, and act like a spring. Without our help, Serge would've continued to have that feeling of being stuck, that he had no options left, possibly increased weight, reduced walking, and just mentally down.

But I'm pleased to say Serge is much happier, walking better than ever, and has a much more positive outlook on things. He said himself he is walking better, walking more normal, less of a limp, and he certainly notices when he's not wearing the plates. He also has said he would recommend us to anyone, which was very nice. So thanks for that. It's always great to hear, and great to hear for Serge that he improved so much both physically and mentally. It's always great to see.

Is pain in your leg holding you back at work or at home?

G’day, Ben here from Healthy Feet Podiatry. Just want to share a great success story we had with client, Sam.

Sam came to see us for a diabetes foot health check-up. He'd seen a podiatrist previously. Wasn't too happy as he felt, "They just wanted to sell me boots and orthotics."

So Sam's main concerns was he had burning sensations in his feet that would wake him up at night and also pain in his right calf that would ache, tighten up, then go away, especially with walking. He would also get aches in his hips when mowing the lawns. He felt that he would get this sensation of “heavier pains” where he would stop until the pain would settle and then keep going. And that would happen two or three times.

It would also affect him at work. Sam is a bus driver instructor so he is doing a lot of hours standing and sitting in the bus. And you could tell that he was just getting dragged down with this pain that was just constant day after day.

Sam thought that this was just how it is ad he would just have to put up with it.

When Sam came to see us, we assessed his feet, the sensations and blood flow, as this can be affected due to the diabetes. I advised Sam's GP to follow up with a vascular ultrasound to rule out if Sam's pains in his legs were related to any blood flow issues. Sam was given the all clear from his ultrasound. And then we spent some time where we thoroughly assessed his mobility, his strength and balance, which revealed he was very stiff and had significant difference left to right with his strength and balance.

From there, we developed a customized program that involved gentle hands on treatment and an exercise plan that would fit in with his workday.

Without our help. Sam would've continued to put up with the aches and pains, the feeling dragged down and just exhausted day to day.

I'm very happy to say Sam's pains have greatly improved. He mentioned he could mow the lawns with no problems, that he didn't have to stop at all, which was something brand new for him. That he also went for a walk over the weekend, which he couldn't do before. Sam also mentioned that he used to get his hip and back pain when he was sitting and now that it doesn't even bother him anymore. So it's great to see Sam improve so much, which is fantastic.

So if you or anyone you know is suffering with aches and pains in their legs, just like Sam, please call the number provided: (03) 9470 8300 or click the link below, where I'll personally assess your feet and work out your best treatment options.
