One clinic, two professions, one assessment
Most people with a sore foot, knee or hip have to pick a profession before they have a diagnosis — podiatrist or physiotherapist — and hope they chose the right one. At Hip to Toe you do not have to.
Both sit under the same roof at Arundel. If your presentation turns out to be better suited to the other discipline, we will say so and arrange it, rather than treating around the edges of something that is not ours.
The practical upshot is that the assessment looks at the whole chain. A knee gets looked at alongside the foot beneath it and the hip above it, because that is usually where the load is coming from.
Treat the cause, explain the options, be honest about both
Three things shape how we practise. None of them are complicated, but they do change what an appointment here looks like.
Find out why
Pain is usually the end of a chain, not the start of it. We spend the assessment working out why a structure is being loaded the way it is, because treating only the sore spot tends to buy short-lived relief.
Give you the options
Foot mobilisation, orthotic therapy, strengthening, footwear, hands-on treatment — you should hear what the realistic choices are, what each costs and what the trade-offs are, then decide.
Say what we do not know
Some things are clear-cut and some are not. Where we are uncertain, or where a GP or specialist opinion is the right next step, we will tell you that rather than keep treating.
Our services
Routine podiatry
Nail care, ingrown toenails and nail surgery, corns, calluses, warts, fungal nails and diabetic foot checks.
Foot mobilisation
Hands-on joint mobilisation and strengthening, aimed at restoring how the foot moves rather than supporting the position it is in.
Orthotic therapy
Assessment and prescription of orthotic devices where redistributing load is the right approach for your foot.
Physiotherapy
Back, neck, shoulder and lower limb. Acute injuries, persistent pain, tendinopathies and post-surgical rehabilitation.
Sports injuries
Assessment, rehabilitation and a return-to-sport plan with criteria rather than a guessed date.
Children’s podiatry
Growing feet, heel pain in active kids, toe walking, flat feet and footwear advice, with a parent in the room throughout.
From the hip to the toe — and above
Who you will see
Our podiatrists and physiotherapists are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency and work together across the clinic rather than in separate silos.
You can see who is who, what they treat and their particular interests on the team page — worth a look if you would rather book with a specific clinician.
If you are not sure who to see, call reception on 07 5571 7329, describe what is going on, and they will book you with the right person.
