Our Podiatrists Hayley Paterson and Chris Weber are here to keep you moving! With 16+ years’ experience each we are leaders in our field of Biomechanical/ Musculoskeletal Podiatry.
At Foundation Podiatry Townsville your Initial Biomechanical Assessment will start with a medical, occupational and exercise history. This is followed by a footwear check and a thorough posture, balance, movement and gait assessment. Rather than just treating the symptoms, we undertake a thorough initial assessment to understand the true cause of your problem. Your treatment is then tailored individually to you.
Traditionally when it comes to Podiatry for musculoskeletal pain, people think that the only treatment option will be orthotics.
At Foundation Podiatry we utilise a wide range of hands-on treatment options such as Shockwave therapy, Low Level Laser therapy, Medical Acupuncture, gait re-education, joint mobilisation, mobility, balance & strength exercises. We find these techniques highly effective in reducing pain, assisting tissue healing and restoring optimal function.
So whether you’re an elite athlete, weekend warrior or just want to be able to play with the grandkids we have the skills and experience to help you!
