Our Clinical Standard
The Eternal Approach to Lower Limb Care
Rather than only masking surface discomfort, our clinical process evaluates how your feet, ankles, knees, and hips function together during daily movement.
01
Accurate Biomechanical Diagnosis
Comprehensive joint palpation, footwear wear-pattern inspection, and video gait assessment to identify the underlying mechanical drivers of your symptoms.
02
Targeted Evidence-Based Care
Individualised treatment plans that may include tissue offloading, clinical skin and nail care, custom 3D orthotics, or minor nail procedures where clinically indicated.
03
Kinetic Chain Rehabilitation
Progressive strengthening, calf-Achilles mobility routines, and sensible load management designed to restore tissue capacity across the lower limb.
04
Long-Term Prevention
Practical footwear guidance, periodic neurovascular reviews, and activity modification strategies to help reduce the likelihood of recurring flare-ups.

Flat Feet & Bunions
Arch collapse, overpronation, or big-toe joint prominence (Hallux Abducto Valgus) contributing to foot fatigue, shoe pressure, or knee strain.
Sports & Tendon
Sports & Achilles Injuries
Achilles tendon stiffness, shin splints, ankle sprains, or forefoot overload in runners and active patients requiring structured load management.

New Patients
Preparing for Your First Visit
Whether you are attending for acute heel pain, a sports injury, or routine foot care, knowing what happens at your first consultation helps remove any uncertainty.
No GP Referral Required for Private Patients
Podiatrists are primary care practitioners. You can book directly online or by telephone. We also welcome Medicare Chronic Disease Management (EPC) and DVA referrals.
What happens during an initial consultation?
We begin by listening to your symptom history and daily activity goals, followed by a physical and biomechanical examination (including joint palpation, footwear inspection, and gait analysis where relevant). You will receive a clear explanation of the diagnosis and a structured treatment plan during your visit.
What footwear, scans, or cards should I bring?
Please bring 2–3 pairs of shoes you wear most often (work boots, athletic runners, or everyday footwear), any previous orthotics or insoles, any recent X-ray or ultrasound reports, and your private health insurance, Medicare, or DVA card.
Can I claim private health insurance or Medicare rebates?
Yes. Both clinics feature HICAPS terminals for immediate on-the-spot private health insurance claiming. Patients with an eligible GP Chronic Disease Management (EPC) plan can claim Medicare rebates for up to five allied health visits per calendar year.
What should I wear to a biomechanical assessment?
Comfortable shorts or loose-fitting trousers that can be rolled above the knee allow Dr Arvind to clearly observe knee alignment and lower-leg mechanics during walking or running analysis.
