The Foot Group – Qualified, expert, experienced
Podiatry is the medical science that focuses on the care of the foot and ankle, and the relationship between the function of the foot and lower limb and the postural alignment of the rest of the body.
At The Foot Group we have built a solid reputation amongst health professionals as being experts in our field. Our podiatrists employ a range of up-to-date techniques and the latest technology for biomechanical assessment, footwear advice, prescription of foot orthotics, diabetic foot assessment and general foot care. If you are looking for comprehensive and current advice on foot pain, heel pain, knee pain, tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis and other lower limb problems, we can help.
Our podiatrists are all university-qualified and have over 40 years of combined experience. They are members of the Australian Podiatry Association, Australasian Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine, Sports Medicine Australia and Diabetes Australia.

I recently went to see Andrew at The Foot Group to get some pre-Coastrek advice. He was professional and thorough in his examination of my feet, including an amazing 3D scan of my feet and the way I walk. The advice and general info he gave me on shoes choice, blister protection, and all things feet, was excellent!
