About Our Annual Foot Health Check
Like regular dental checks, annual foot checks are a routine part of a healthy lifestyle. Designed to optimise foot health, these examinations help identify potential problems before they occur, saving you the time, money, pain and frustration associated with injury rehabilitation.
We also recommend scheduling this appointment before you start new activities, such as hiking or a boot camp, and before purchasing new running shoes to ensure you’re making the right choices for your unique feet.
If you run or play sport regularly, or lead an active lifestyle, we recommend a Running Analysis Appointment to ensure you reach your training goals faster— and injury free.
