What actually happens in a running assessment? 🏃‍♀️

More than just watching you run. Off the treadmill I look at how you move: squats, lunges, single-leg control, your joint range from hip to foot, and strength testing specific to running. Then you run on an instrumented treadmill that films you from every angle while measuring the pressure and force through every step.

But it’s never just biomechanics. Why you run, your training load, your history and your footwear all shape the plan too.

Running pain usually comes down to load, capacity and how you move. Which means it’s almost always something you can change 👟

5 things I’d stop worrying about if you’ve got foot pain 🦶👇

As a podiatrist and researcher, these are the worries I spend half my day talking people out of:

▪️ Flat feet aren’t a disease
▪️ Orthotics are a tool, not a life sentence
▪️ Hurt doesn’t always mean harm
▪️ Total rest rarely fixes it
▪️ “Just stretching more” rarely fixes it on its own

So what actually helps? Matching what you do to what your body can handle right now, plus a bit of targeted strength. That’s where the real change happens.

Which of these have you been told? 👇 Save it for your next flare-up, and send it to that friend who swears they just need to stretch more.

Foot or running pain that won’t settle? I look after lower limb foot pain and runners, in Sydney or over telehealth, and we build the plan around your goals. Link in bio to book an appointment 👟

Your child’s feet spend a lot of time in school shoes 👟

As your child grows, properly fitted footwear plays an important role in comfort, confidence, and healthy development.

Your podiatrist can:
1️⃣ Ensure your childs shoes fit correctly
2️⃣ Check for foot changes
3️⃣ Investigate pain in your kid’s feet or legs
4️⃣ Discuss your kid’s trips and falls

Every great school year starts on the right (and left) foot.

Get your kids properly fitted for school shoes this year.

👣 Our feet support us every day - here’s how a podiatrist can help.

From first steps to next steps, podiatrists play a vital role in keeping you moving.

Whether it’s helping kids find their stride, supporting tradies to stay on their feet, assisting runners and active individuals with injury prevention and management, or helping older adults maintain mobility, podiatrists are there every step of the way.

Podiatry Week 2025 (13-19 October) is a time to recognise the vital role podiatrists play in supporting our lower-limb health and overall quality of life.

👟Podiatrists can help with:

✅ Foot, ankle, and lower limb pain
✅ Sports injuries
✅ Diabetes and circulation management
✅ Running assessment

Maddie will be offering podiatry services at the Recovery Station during Move for 60 this Saturday. All proceeds go to A huge thanks to and .rc for bringing this incredible event to life 🏃‍♀️

More about the Move For 60:

Why 60? Every 60 minutes, 60 men around the world are lost to su***de - a devastating statistic this movement aims to change.

Vipers Run Club will run non-stop for 60 hours from Thursday 9 to Saturday 11 October around a 1km track at Queenscliff, and the community is invited to join. The Community Movement Day on Saturday 11 October will feature a full schedule of health and wellness activations from 7am-4pm - plus a recovery station offering massages & health consultations.

Move For 60 aims to raise awareness & 50,000 in funding to support Lifeline’s crisis helpline and local su***de prevention services, including counselling, financial support and education programs.

Every year, the Balgowlah Lifeline Centre answers over 50,000 calls, with demand continuing to rise. Just $39 helps answer one potentially life-saving call.

Why it matters:
 -9 Australians die by su***de every day
 -Suicide is the leading cause of death for ages 15-44
 -Men are 3x more likely to die by su***de than women

We hope to see you this Saturday supporting this incredible cause 💙
