Paediatric Podiatrist

Welcome to Head2toe Physiotherapy and Podiatry, a leading podiatry service in Moonee Ponds. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality care to our patients, and our team of experienced podiatrists who are committed to helping children and teens achieve optimal foot and lower limb health.

As parents, we know that your child’s health and well-being is your top priority. That’s why we offer a comprehensive paediatric podiatry service that caters to the unique needs of children’s feet. Our experienced podiatrists have a thorough understanding of children’s foot development and can provide expert advice and treatment for a wide range of conditions.

Our paediatric podiatry services include:

• Developmental assessment of children’s feet
• Diagnosis and treatment of common foot and leg conditions, such as flat feet, in-toeing, out-toeing, heel pain, and sports injuries
• Custom orthotics and shoe recommendations
• Gait analysis and assessment
• Warts treatment

Conditions that our paediatric podiatry service can address include:

• Sever’s disease: a common condition that causes heel pain in growing children and adolescents, often associated with physical activity and sports.
• Ingrown toenails: a condition in which the edge of a toenail grows into the skin, causing pain, inflammation, and infection.
• Flat feet: a common condition where the arches of the feet do not develop properly, leading to foot pain, leg pain, and other related problems.
• Intoeing and out-toeing: common conditions where the feet point inward or outward, causing gait abnormalities, tripping, and difficulty walking.
• Plantar warts: a viral infection that can cause painful, raised lesions on the soles of the feet.
• Sports injuries: various lower limb injuries can be caused by sports activities such as sprained ankles, Achilles tendonitis, shin splints, and stress fractures.

Our podiatrists are skilled in identifying and diagnosing these and other foot and lower limb conditions in children and can develop an appropriate treatment plan to address the specific needs of each patient. We also offer preventative advice and education to help reduce the risk of foot and lower limb problems in children, such as proper footwear selection and the benefits of stretching and strengthening exercises.

At Head2toe Physiotherapy and Podiatry, we believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. We work closely with parents and healthcare providers to ensure the best possible outcomes for our young patients. Our child-friendly clinic is designed to make kids feel comfortable and at ease during their visit, and our podiatrists use gentle, non-invasive techniques to ensure a positive experience.

We understand that busy parents need convenient and flexible appointment times. That’s why we offer after-school and weekend appointments to fit in with your family’s schedule.
