The Foot Focus Difference
Our bodies are amazing creations and its structures are deeply interconnected. That’s what makes Foot Focus Podiatrists different – we address the whole body and not just your area of pain. Rather than just treating symptoms we also aim to treat the root cause of your problem.
From experience we believe this allows for better, long lasting results.
So when you visit Foot Focus not only will you be having you biomechanics checked but your podiatrist will be checking for so much more. Our podiatrists are able to quickly test and identify dysfunction in the biomechanics and fascial chains that link the foot with the leg, pelvis, spine and upper extremities.
