Podiatry
When you’re looking for happy feet, podiatry may be the key.
Podiatry Kilmore
Ready to take the first step
Our feet carry us through every step of our lives – literally! With that in mind, it makes sense for us to look after them as well as we possibly can. Whether you’re regularly running marathons or running after the kids on the weekends, every one of those steps adds up and may eventually lead to pain or discomfort in your feet.
However, this doesn’t mean you and your feet need to suffer. Podiatry aims to alleviate these aches and pains, whether they’re caused by biomechanical issues, sports injuries, or a condition such as arthritis. At Kilmore Wellness Centre, we’re happy to put your feet in our hands!

The Potential Benefits of Podiatry
Did you know that pain you feel somewhere in your body may actually originate from somewhere else? This means that even if you feel discomfort in an area like your hip or leg, it may be related to your feet, and podiatry care may be able to assist!
In addition to potentially addressing pain, podiatry may provide:
- Improved mobility and function
- Injury prevention
- Management of chronic conditions
- Care for skin and nail issues
- Improved posture and balance
- Support for athletes
- Improved quality of life

Your Podiatry Questions Answered
Your first appointment will mainly be about getting to know you and your foot-related concerns. This involves talking with you about your medical history in general and specifically related to your feet, followed by physical assessments to look at your range of motion, strength, foot posture, and so on. We’ll follow this up with a digital gait analysis to see how your feet function when they’re moving, and then take everything we’ve learnt to create your personalised treatment plan.
To make things easier for all of us, it would be great if you could bring a few pairs of footwear you wear the most to your first appointment. Other than that, all you need to bring is yourself!
Not at all! While these are common areas we focus on, a lot of podiatry has to do with biomechanical aspects – the way your feet, ankles, and lower limbs work together to help you move. Biomechanical imbalances, such as if your foot rolls inward or outward too much, may lead to issues not only in your feet but throughout your body, which is why we conduct in-depth biomechanical assessments.
