As most of our patients know, our much loved Podiatrist, Sheshna, is from Nepal. With the recent tragedy unfolding in Nepal we wanted show our support to the Nepalese community in Geelong and the surrounding area.

We have been receiving inquiries from patients (bless them) about how to support Sheshna at this time.

The Geelong Nepalese Association Inc will be running fundraisers which we will share on our socials in coming weeks. Until then, there is a go fund me page set up by the GNA via the link below.

When you've got a niggling foot pain during training, it can be tempting to just push through.
You can wait it out, hope it clears up by the weekend. But then the second you start running, there's that pain again.

Foot pain is rarely just about the foot. It can come down to a mix of things.
How you move. The shoes you're wearing. Weaknesses further up the body.

A sports podiatrist takes a look at the whole picture.
We see everything from plantar fasciitis to achilles issues, shin splints and stress fractures.

We can help you get your performance back to its best.
Book an appointment with Prosper Health Group.

How do you cut your toenails? Straight across, not curved, we hope.
Incorrect nail-cutting habits cause a lot of the ingrown toenails we see.

We've written a guide to preventing ingrown toenails.
And we've even included a section on what to do if it's too late.

Have a read! Link in the comments.

Spirometry measures how much air you can breathe out, and how fast.

It helps us assess for:
💨 Lung capacity
💨 Airflow rate
💨 Presence of obstruction or restriction
💨 Response to medications or treatments

The test is commonly used to help diagnose or monitor conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory disorders.
It's also useful before or after surgery, or as part of a return-to-sport plan.

No referral needed. Just book in, breathe, and find out how your lungs are performing.
📍Available now at our Colac clinic.

Onychocryptosis: the clinical name for an ingrown toenail.

The edge of the nail grows into the soft skin instead of over it.
The body treats it like a splinter, becoming inflamed, swollen and often infected.

So if you hear us saying "onychocryptosis" at the clinic, now you know what we're talking about.
But we'll probably save ourselves the trouble and just say "ingrown toenail".

Danny is an experienced podiatrist and Co-Director of Prosper Health Group, consulting from both our Colac and Highton clinics.

He's an active member of Sports and Exercise Podiatry Australia and keeps up with the latest in sports medicine research.

Outside the clinic, Danny is usually talking sport or farming with a local, working in the garden, or spending quality time with his family.

Struggling to reach overhead, sleep on your side, or even get dressed without your shoulder complaining?
