Injuries to your feet, ankles and lower leg make up over 40% of the injuries that occur whilst playing sport.
Ankle sprains, bone breaks, stress fractures, tendon injuries, ligament strains, calf / Achilles pains, nerve impingements, plantar fascia tears, bruising, skin & nail issues can all be attributed to playing sport and treated by your podiatrist.
Our podiatrists are experts at assessing and treating all sports injuries.
The treatment program provides exercises and education aimed at achieving your short and long term sporting and recreational goals.
We are dedicated to supporting every person, at all stages of life, to being as active and healthy as possible.
Experienced Podiatrists Assist With Your Foot and Ankle Rehabilitation
The Victorian Podiatry Group offers a range of services, such as foot and ankle rehabilitation, ankle sprain rehab, and various other treatments, from several convenient and accessible locations across Melbourne. Did you know that your Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest in your body? Each tendon can be up to five millimetres thick and 15 centimetres long and can withstand a force of up to almost 500 kilograms. You use these tendons when you run, walk, or jump, as they connect your calf muscles and heel bones at the back of your ankles.
Why You Should Choose The Victorian Podiatry Group for Your Achilles Tendon Treatment
Achilles tendon injuries are varied and may involve a rehabilitation and recovery period. There are several reasons for using The Victorian Podiatry Group as your preferred podiatrist to assist you in your recovery.
- Firstly, we will listen to you to understand your needs. Your treatment plan will be personalised, and we will tailor assessments for you too. With a combined experience of over 75 years, you know that we are qualified to help in all possible ways.
- If you need orthotics, we offer cutting-edge 3D imaging, and we strive for innovation in all areas of what we do. We will guide your treatment using the latest research and tools available.
- Our multidisciplinary clinics are conveniently located in several locations throughout Melbourne, therefore more accessible. Ultimately, we want to achieve the best results during your treatment, and we will work closely with you to achieve these results.
What We Offer in Addition to Ankle Sprain Rehab
Whether you’re already working with us on your ankle rehab after a sprain, or you have sustained a different injury, our well-qualified and highly-experienced podiatrists will provide rehabilitation services, some of which we discuss below:
- You may need orthotics as part of your rehabilitation or treatment, and we offer custom-made orthotics. The orthotics we manufacture are slim, low-profile and comfortable.
- If you suffer from a constant dull, aching pain in your feet, especially after being active, you may have developed a stress fracture. These fractures are notoriously difficult to diagnose because they develop over an extended period. We will work with you to identify what could have caused the fracture and help you avoid a recurring injury.
- In addition, we will work closely with you on your post-surgery rehabilitation, whether it is for ankle reconstruction, bunion surgery, or plantar fascia release.
