Sports Podiatry

Looking for a local Melbourne Sports Podiatrist?

Sport and exercise place the feet and lower limb under increased stress and therefore injuries to the feet and legs are common. As Podiatrists, we are uniquely trained in dealing with the biomechanics of the feet and ankle. At Sole Podiatry, we place a large focus on sports injuries, from diagnosis, treatment and long term rehabilitation.

We offer tailor made management and rehabilitation plans to get you back on your feet as quickly as possible. We will also help address the cause of your injury by conducting a thorough assessment of your biomechanics and footwear to help prevent future injury.

Some of the common sports injuries we treat include:

Ankle Sprains

Achilles Tendon Injuries

Calf Strains & Tears

Toe Injuries

We use the latest technology available to compliment out treatment programs, such as:

Ultrasound Therapy
Shockwave Therapy
Laser Therapy

Our Podiatrists also regularly attend workshops with top running footwear brands to stay up to date with the latest advances in running footwear technology to ensure we can offer the most current footwear advice to our patients.

If you have injured your foot or ankle, a Podiatrist is specifically trained to diagnose and treat your injury as well as helping you return to sport/activity.

FAQ’s

Your consultation will go for 45 minutes. This time allows your Podiatrist to thoroughly examine and understand your needs as well as providing the necessary time to assess your condition properly. We will also develop a comprehensive treatment plan that will enable you to achieve your goal as soon as possible during this consultation.

There is no requirement to supply a referral from your doctor to see a Podiatrist.

With that said, if you have been referred, please bring a copy of the referral letter.

We pride ourselves on offering the highest quality podiatry care, and as a result, we are unable to offer bulk billing on the Chronic disease management plan (formally EPC). Our consultation fees apply to all visits, and a Medicare rebate can be issued to you on the spot with a valid EPC referral. There is a small out of pocket expense on all appointments.

The frequency and number of visitations will depend on the nature of the condition you are being treated for. The treatment and rehabilitation of conditions will vary widely however after an initial consultation your podiatrist will be able to provide a recovery framework for you.

We appreciate 24 hours notice for cancellations when possible. However we know the unexpected can often happen, so a courtesy phone call if you are going to miss an appointment is always appreciated.

An appointment which is cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours notice, may incur a fee of 50% of the consult rate.

If you miss an appointment, without giving notice, then the full rate of the appointment may be charged.
