+ 5 reasons to use a Podiatrist

Your feet are made up of 52 bones, 66 joints, over 38 muscles and more than 200 ligaments. On average you take 6000 to 10 000 steps daily, covering approximately 120 000 kilometres in your lifetime. It's no wonder that most people experience foot pain at some point in their life. Here are a few reasons to visit a podiatrist.

Foot, leg or knee pain.  Growing pain.  
A small abnormality in your foot function can have a large impact on joints higher up in the body, causing pain and discomfort.  A podiatrist can accurately diagnose the source of the pain and provide solutions to resolve your pain.

Impaired mobility.
Have you been out of action with chronic joint pain for a long  period of time? Podiatrists can assist with rehabilitation of injuries, and assist with foot and leg alignment to give you the best chance of a full recovery.

Poor shoe wear. Footwear advice.
If you are active it is important that you select the right shoe for your sport and for your foot type. A podiatrist can advise you on the best brands and models for your particular foot type and activity each time you buy.

Optimization of performance.  
A podiatrist can maximise your athletic performance by assessing all phases of your chosen sporting discipline.  Slight modifications to your movement pattern, including strength and stretching, or changes to footwear or orthotic therapy can have impressive gains on your personal bests. 

Exercise advice.
If you are starting exercise after a break or getting into sport for the first time, a podiatrist can help you ensure you do so safely with minimum impact on your body and maximum performance benefits.
