Need quick relief from foot pain?

Strapping can sometimes be used as a short-term support strategy to help reduce strain through the foot and provide temporary symptom relief during walking or activity.

It works by supporting and offloading specific structures of the foot, which may help reduce pressure on irritated areas and improve comfort while moving. While it can assist in the short term, it’s generally most effective when used alongside a broader management plan.

This is a technique commonly used in clinic as part of a structured approach to foot pain, particularly when symptoms are impacting daily function or activity levels.

If foot pain is persisting or keeps returning, an assessment can help identify the underlying cause and guide more targeted longer-term management options.

People often confuse dry needling and acupuncture — but they’re not quite the same thing.

Both use very fine needles, but they’re based on different clinical approaches and are used for different purposes.

Dry needling is typically used in a musculoskeletal setting to target tight or irritable muscle areas that may be contributing to pain or movement restriction. It’s often used alongside other treatment strategies to support muscle function and load tolerance.

Acupuncture comes from a traditional Chinese medicine framework and is based on different principles relating to energy pathways in the body. While the tools may look similar, the assessment process and treatment reasoning can differ significantly.

Understanding the difference can help you have clearer conversations about what approach may suit your symptoms and overall management plan.

If you’re unsure what’s appropriate for your situation, a clinical assessment can help guide the next step.

Ever wondered what actually goes into your custom orthotics? 👣

It starts with a detailed assessment of how your feet, ankles, and lower limbs move when you walk or run — looking at how load is distributed and where stress may be building.

From there, we take precise measurements and a scan or mould of your feet to design orthotics shaped around your individual mechanics, rather than a generic insert.

Once made, they’re reviewed in the context of your movement and footwear, with adjustments where needed to support comfort and function in daily activity.

If you’re dealing with ongoing foot, ankle, or running-related discomfort, an assessment can help determine whether orthotics may be appropriate for you.

Struggling with recurring calf tightness or lower leg discomfort when you run? 🏃‍♂️

Strong calves play an important role in how your body manages load through the ankles, knees, and feet during running. When they’re not working efficiently, other areas may take on more stress.

At SA Running Injury Clinic, calf strength and function are considered as part of a broader assessment to support your running and reduce overload patterns. Watch to learn more about why it matters.

Heel pain can affect how an active child moves 👣

During growth spurts, children can develop heel pain related to the growth plate (often referred to as Sever’s). It’s commonly seen in active kids and can be influenced by sport, growth, and load through the feet.

A careful, age-appropriate assessment can help guide supportive strategies so they can stay comfortable and keep participating in the activities they enjoy.

Shin discomfort can come from different sources, from muscle irritation to stress on the bones, and each type has its own contributing factors. Understanding these differences is key, as the way you manage them depends on what’s causing the pain.
