This appointment is designed for individuals looking to improve their movement, running technique and sporting performance, or address injuries associated with their chosen activity. Your podiatrist will assess how you move and perform during sport, looking beyond the feet to understand how your body responds to the demands of your activity.
Depending on your goals and presentation, this may include a running or gait assessment, reviewing your technique and identifying areas where small changes could improve movement efficiency, reduce unnecessary loading and support performance. Assessments can be tailored to your specific sport, whether that involves observing you running on a treadmill or oval in football boots, or assessing the lateral movements, direction changes and footwork required on a netball court.
The aim is to provide practical, individualised advice and treatment recommendations that consider the demands of your sport, help address contributing factors to injury and support you in achieving your activity and performance goals.
