ABOUT US
Our aim at Sydney Sports Podiatry is to offer a complete foot treatment, whether a sports related injury requiring shoe advice, stretching advice or orthotics or a general podiatry problem with the skin and toenails. Our four clinics are located within multi-disciplinary medical centres, allowing a more rounded approach should your problem require more than podiatry only. We have consulted to elite sports teams such as the Wallabies and Sydney Swans, and see everyone from kids, to active amateur runners, footballers, netballers, basketballers and plenty of older people we just help too keep moving also. Our experienced podiatrists are able to provide treatments such as:

Treatment of foot and ankle disorders, including skin and nail conditions (blisters, callous, ingrown toenails- conservative care and nail edge resection if appropriate)
Biomechanical causes of back, hip, knee, leg, ankle and foot pain
Prescription of flexible or semi-rigid corrective foot orthotics (to fit sports and/or fashion shoes)
Advice on appropriate stretching / strengthening and training programs
Advice on each persons specific requirements in running shoes / football boots and other sporting footwear. We are conveniently located in the City

It's Sydney Marathon/ Sydney Running Festival o'clock. But its also running, hiking and triathlon season!

It's also time to get our bikini bodies ready for summer.....Time to drop the chocolate, Netflix and red w**e and get active again!

If your feet, legs, shins or knees are giving trouble (and sometimes hips and back too) then come in and see us at Sydney Sports Podiatry. Issues like a leg length discrepancy, hypermobility (double-jointed) and tibial torsion (twisted shin bones) can go undetected and cause problems for a lifetime.

Bring in your shorts, runners, hiking boots or shoes, golf or netball or footy boots and get your walking and or running gait assessed properly with a treadmill digital video gait analysis. If your old orthotics are wearing out, too old or just don't seem to be helping, bring them along and we can check them out.

We'll formulate a diagnosis and treatment plan ad can usually help to get you back to the activity you love sooner.

Like a lot of things in life-

Get It Done Properly The First Time

If your hamstrings are tight, your body will start to compensate elsewhere.

Watch this video to learn how to properly stretch your hamstrings because a lot of common “hamstring stretches” don’t actually target the muscle the way you think they do 🦵

That’s when you’ll often see things like lower back tightness, reduced mobility or ongoing discomfort

This is a simple stretch, but when done correctly and consistently, it can make a big difference

Ankle circles might look simple, but they play a big role in how your feet and lower body move 🔄

By slowly rotating through the full range of motion, you’re helping to improve joint mobility, activate the smaller stabilising muscles around the ankle, and increase blood flow to the area 🦶 This is especially important if you’re dealing with stiffness, returning from injury, or spending long periods sitting or on your feet.

Better ankle mobility can also support how you walk, run, and load through your feet - reducing unnecessary strain further up the chain (like knees and hips).

Start controlled, move through the full circle, and avoid rushing the movement, quality matters more than speed ✔️

Custom orthotics for ice skates aren’t just about comfort - they’re about control, alignment, and getting more out of every movement on the ice.

Designed specifically for your foot and the structure of your skate, they help reduce pressure, improve stability, and support better performance where it matters most.

Most people try to stretch this… but it actually needs strengthening 📶

If your tibialis posterior isn’t doing its job, it can lead to that deep, stubborn pain along the shin or inside of the ankle.

This Theraband exercise is one of the simplest ways to start building that support back up.

Tight calves can limit how well your body moves during exercise 🏃‍♂️

The gastrocnemius stretch (straight knee calf stretch) helps improve ankle mobility and reduce tension through the back of the lower leg. This can support better movement during workouts, running, and everyday activity.

Adding this stretch before or after training can help:�• improve ankle flexibility �• reduce calf tightness �• support better running mechanics �• lower strain through the Achilles and lower leg

Small habits like this can make a big difference to how your body performs and recovers 💪 If calf tightness is something you deal with regularly, incorporating this stretch into your routine is a great place to start.

📌 Save this for your next workout or run

Monkey toes might look simple, but they play an important role in strengthening the small muscles in your feet 🦶

By actively spreading your toes and learning to grip the ground, you help support the arch of the foot, improve stability, and encourage better alignment through the big toe joint. For people with bunions, this type of movement can also help reduce pressure on the joint and keep the area more mobile.

Sometimes the smallest movements make the biggest difference in how your body moves and feels.

Give it a try next time you’re barefoot - your feet will thank you. 👣

Abductor stretch 👣

You should feel this stretch along the inner thigh and groin area. These muscles (your hip adductors) play an important role in stabilising your pelvis, controlling leg movement and supporting alignment through the knees and ankles.

When they’re tight, they can contribute to groin discomfort, hip stiffness, altered gait patterns and even knee pain.

Incorporating regular adductor stretching can:�✔ Improve hip mobility�✔ Support better lower limb alignment�✔ Reduce strain through the knees�✔ Assist with injury prevention

If you’re experiencing ongoing tightness, discomfort or recurring lower limb pain, our team can assess what’s contributing and guide you with the right plan.

Air squats 🏋️‍♂️

A simple but highly effective movement targeting the quads and glutes 🍑 - two key muscle groups that support everyday function.

You should feel this through the front of the thighs (quadriceps) 🔥 and through the glutes as you drive back up to standing.

Why it matters 👇
Strong quads and glutes are essential for sit-to-stand movements, climbing stairs, walking uphill and maintaining knee stability. Weakness in these areas can contribute to knee pain, reduced balance and difficulty with daily tasks.

If sit-to-stand feels challenging or you’re managing knee discomfort, strengthening exercises like this can make a real difference.

Tight quads are more common than people realise 🦵

Long periods of sitting, training, and everyday movement patterns can all contribute to stiffness through the front of the thighs, which may then place added stress on the knees and hips.

Simple, consistent stretching can help support mobility, reduce tension, and keep movement feeling comfortable.
