Podiatrists are university qualified practitioners that are devoted to the investigation, diagnosis, rehabilitation, treatment and management of all foot and lower limb health conditions and concerns.
After you present your concern, we will develop a plan suitable for your needs. This may involve one off treatments or a goal focused treatment and management plan that could include regular general treatments, further biomechanical analysis, orthotic therapy, foot mobilisation and exercise program and footwear prescription.
If required, referral to other specialists may be required for a multidisciplinary approach for your concerns.

Christina has also participated in specific training for Foot Mobilisation and Manipulation therapies.
