Occupational Podiatry

Our podiatry team in Torquay, Ocean Grove and Geelong offer early morning and late-night appointments so we can help before or after work!

There are many occupations that place demands on our feet and lower limbs. Chefs, hairdressers, labourers, health care workers and retail workers are all examples of roles that can involve long periods of standing or walking, and may also require squatting or kneeling positions.

Foot and lower limb injuries can become problematic in this environment and can delay return to usual work duties following injury. If the healing process is not proactively managed, there is a greater risk of complications such as arthritis and degenerative changes which can lead to ongoing problems.

Stance Podiatry can help reduce foot and lower leg strain in the workplace, including recommendations for footwear to meet relevant health and safety requirements for your workplace. Other treatment options include custom orthotics, strength and mobility exercises, dry needling and more.

Our Podiatrists are able to provide our services to individuals or to large volumes of workers, depending on business needs.

 

When it comes to the feet and lower limb, Stance Podiatry can help with proactive management and prevention of both work related and non-work related injuries that may be impacting on function and productivity.
