What do Podiatrists Actually Do? And When Should You See Them? 


In this episode, I’m answering a question that so many of you have asked and that is how do I know whether I should see a podiatrist OR another health professional?

Podiatrists have trained for 4 years in Australia and although they are foot health professionals that's not all they look after and can help with. 


This episode is for you if you…

👣 Are UNSURE about what podiatrists actually do 

👣 Have ever been to see a podiatrist before and just got given orthotics (This is a BIG no no) 

👣 Have pain anywhere in your body that won’t go away

👣 Want to know what to ask your health professional and when you should seek a second opinion

The Link Between Menopause and Foot Health

Menopause is often associated with hot flushes and sleep changes, but it can also affect foot health. Hormonal shifts may impact connective tissue, muscle strength and skin, sometimes leading to discomfort, instability or dry, cracked heels.
