Lane Cove has an amazing array of businesses. Some of them are hidden away (not near the village green) or in some of the smaller shopping precincts. We thought we would highlight some of them for you. If you know of a hidden gem that you would feel comfortable recommending to ITC please email us at [email protected]

The other day ITC was at a Social Media seminar on the Gold Coast (what a shame we do not have a convention centre in Lane Cove) and the taxi driver taking me to the hotel, told me that the last week the hotel had a huge podiatry conference. He told me there were “100’s of them”. He was amazed as he had never heard of a podiatrist before. Guess what, there are at least two podiatrists in Lane Cove.
Lane Cove Podiatry
Lane Cove Podiatry – has a dedicated team that are there to help identify your pain, diagnose and treat your foot problems.
Whether you have little feet or growing feet; or you suffer from chronic foot pain, diabetic foot or sporting injuries requiring soft tissue management or rehabilitation, they would love to treat those feet. They also believe that being active is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and it can be achieved by something as simple as walking. Keep checking their Facebook site for some guided walks.
