Sports Podiatry

At PhysioCentral, we specialise in sports podiatry and musculoskeletal injury rehabilitation and prevention.

We work with a diverse range of men and women - including those new to sport and exercise, social players, and athletes that participate and place in international events.

Our sports podiatry team may be the right fit for you if:

  • You value a results-driven care approach grounded in years of direct sports podiatry experience, leveraging recent advances in evidence-based practice, and utilising new technology such as 3D foot scanning
  • You’re looking for practitioners that take the time to get to know you, your goals, and are meticulous in the way they work and their assessments, as they understand the impact that refining the finer details has on the personalisation of your management plan, and therefore your outcomes
  • You’re looking for practitioners that go above the routine treatment plan for an injury, taking the time to identify further opportunities for performance or technique optimisation, injury prevention, and helping you achieve the best possible outcomes for both your chosen sports and in maintaining optimal foot health.

Sports Medicine Podiatry

Working with so many sportspeople, we know the value of having the same podiatrist support you throughout your rehab journey, and be there for you if any future problems arise - or even if you want to discuss potential changes to your sporting shoes, gait, technique or orthotics. Your podiatrist stays with you, and is on your team, offering remote consultations if you head overseas.



We also work closely and collaboratively with physiotherapists, osteopaths, massage therapists and clinical Pilates instructors. This means you benefit from both the shared insights from these professions, as well as from our timely referral system if these additional services can support your goals- whether that’s accelerating your recovery or optimising your sports performance.


Specialised Lower Limb,
Ankle and Foot Podiatry Services

Helping people recover from pain or injury in their feet and legs so they’re free to perform at their best and move comfortably throughout their days is what we do best. We’ve refined and specialised our services to offer you the very best care in these areas, using treatments ranging from shockwave therapy, prescription foot orthotics, exercise therapies (including gait training, rehab programming, tendon de-loading), soft tissue work (mobilisation, manipulation) and more.

We have also become well-known for our custom ankle-foot orthotics (AFOs), using leading prescription-only devices like the Richie and Aerospring braces. With over 12 years in the technical footwear industry by our senior podiatrist, Joel, we’ll also ensure that your shoes are supporting your goals of staying injury-free and performing well, and not holding you back without you ever realising.
