Lance – Podiatrist

Footpoint Sports Clinic

Philosophy
At Footpoint we manage the effect that foot has on the entire body as well as the effect the body has on the foot.  We have a holistic outlook and we believe in using a team care approach.  We believe that foot function is paramount to posture and the human kinetic chain.
We manage foot and lower limb pathology by:
·         Addressing muscular imbalances, joint restrictions/malalignments with appropriate strength/stretch exercises and mobilisations pertinent to the feet.
·         Using soft/flexible orthotics.
·         Giving advice on specific sports shoes or orthopaedic footwear.
·         Referring out to appropriated medical specialists.
In our practice we treat using hands on assessments combined with the latest computer technology; this includes pressure plate analysis, video gait analysis software and 3D optical scanning.
We believe in building strong relationships with like minded professionals to ensure we get the best outcome for our patients
