Participating in sports is good for the body and psyche, but it can also be dangerous. The podiatrists at Be Podiatry, owned by Kate Heslop, are highly-skilled in addressing sports-related injuries and can help clients make the best shoe selection for support in any activity.
Be Podiatry provides comprehensive assessment and management of sports-related injuries to ease pain, aid healing and rehabilitate. What may seem like a minor injury can transition to a chronic condition if not addressed promptly. Even a relatively minor injury can keep someone benched for an entire season.
The Ivanhoe podiatry centre utilizes biomechanical assessment to identify factors that may have played a role in an injury. The assessment provides information about the alignment, structure, strengths and weaknesses in the lower limbs that may predispose individuals to an injury. It enables the professionals to provide highly personalized treatment, see any previous injuries, and construct a treatment and management plan that heals, improves function and facilitates performance.
There are 28 bones in each foot and they’re responsible for supporting the entire weight of the body. Recreational and professional athletes can suffer an injury simply through ordinary movements. The Ivanhoe podiatrist treats soft tissue injuries, inflammatory conditions, and issues affecting the muscles, tendons and cartilage, along with strains, sprains and fractures.
The clinic is one of the few that treats children and adults. When children participate in sports, they often practice on their own outside of monitored conditions. They can attempt moves that their bodies aren’t able to perform and practice to excess. The Ivanhoe podiatry clinic is cognizant of the nuanced treatment that children require to heal. The clinicians also have multiple methods that can be utilized to aid in preventing injuries in the future.
Be Podiatry offers a full range of services encompassing general skin and nail care and shockwave therapy to toenail surgery and care for diabetic foot conditions. Custom orthotics can be created using 3D scanning technology. Dry needling and manual mobilisation are available, along with toe muscle assessments to reduce the risk of falls. Therapies reduce recovery times for sports-related injuries and conditions.
