Our sports podiatry services are tailored to athletes of all levels, whether you're a weekend warrior or a competitive.
Running and soccer are among the most popular sporting activities in Australia, but they can also lead to common foot injuries such as Achilles tendonitis, shin splints, and stress fractures. These injuries can be painful and limit your ability to perform. At our clinic, we use a combination of targeted treatments, including orthotic therapy, strapping, and rehabilitation exercises, to ensure a safe and effective recovery, so you can return to the field or track as quickly as possible.
For those who play netball, tennis, AusTag or cricket, ankle sprains, knee pain and heel pain (plantar fasciitis) are frequent complaints. These sports involve sudden changes in direction, jumping, and running, all of which can stress the feet and lower limbs. Our podiatrists are highly skilled in diagnosing and treating these issues, ensuring that you not only return to your sport but also have the tools to avoid future injuries through proper footwear advice, stretching, and strengthening programs.
At North Star Podiatry, we also focuses on preventing injuries that would knock you out of the game. No matter your sport, we help assess your foot mechanics and offer custom orthotics to correct any imbalances that may put you at risk of injury. By addressing these factors early, we can help you enjoy more of the sport you love.
No matter your sport or level of activity, we’re here to support you every step of the way. With skilled care, personalized treatment plans, and a focus on both recovery and prevention, we’ll help you get back to your sport with confidence, minimizing downtime and maximizing performance.
