This comprehensive assessment incorporates valid and reliable clinical tools to ensure detailed screening occurs and treatment interventions are evidence based and implemented with confidence.
Our Podiatrist’s depth of knowledge in this field affords the ability to confidently recognise potential problems in the early stages, drawing on clinical experience to recommend solutions and/or on-referral.
Often a treatment journey incorporates a multi-disciplinary team care approach, which can include Podiatry, Physiotherapy and Paediatric Occupational Therapy.
We have all three of these disciplines under one roof, collaborating for the best possible outcome for your child.
