Mana Podiatry

At Mana Podiatry we provide a full and extensive range of services in all aspects of podiatry and are able to treat and manage a diverse array of clientele; from the young to the ‘young at heart’.

Mana Podiatry is located within the multidisciplinary clinic at the Mana Medical Centre. Our medical complex also is the home to a team of physiotherapists, orthopaedic surgeons, doctors and psychologists allowing our team the opportunity to work collaboratively, to help achieve the best outcomes for our clients.

We have two clinical rooms; a general clinical room where our experienced Podiatrist and Foot Therapist provide comfort care for skin and nail care. As well as our senior Podiatrist expertly performing minor surgical procedures for ingrown nails and verrucae.

Our second room is the one of a kind ‘gait lab’ where our clinicians use leading edge technology consisting of force platforms embedded in a static walkway to monitor forces and pressures produced between you and the ground. It helps give a clear clinical picture, assisting our team in identifying the cause of imbalances resulting in pain. To help you get back to doing what you love.

    Specialising in children’s podiatry

    Children play

    Podopaediatrics is an area of podiatry focused on the diagnosis and treatment of foot disorders in children. Your podopaediatrician (children’ s podiatrist) understands the basic principles of child development, relevant milestones, normal and abnormal development, and commonly occurring foot problems in the child.

    Painful legs and feet are common amongst children and adolescents, but pain is by no means normal. Pain should always be investigated if symptoms persist for 48 hours or more, if there is associated falling or tripping or self-withdrawal from sports and activity occurs.

    Some of the more common areas of concern for parents include their children’s flat feet, in-toeing, heel pain, toe walking, ingrown toenails, plantar warts and skin rashes, and uneven or rapid shoe wear.

    It is important to have your child’s feet evaluated by an experienced children’s podiatrist every year from around the age of four.

    Our Resonance podiatrists can educate parents on appropriate footwear and normal development to provide peace of mind and sound management options.

    Gait Diagnostics

    Video gait and postural analysis is a tool which helps give a clear clinical picture, assisting us in identifying the cause of imbalances resulting in pain. We use leading edge technology consisting of force platforms embedded in a static walkway to monitor forces and pressures produced between you and the ground; specialised computer-interfaced video cameras to measure patient motion; and sophisticated software which provides valuable patient data.
