What is Sports Podiatry?

Sports Podiatry focuses on diagnosing, treating and preventing foot, ankle and lower limb injuries related to sport and movement.

At The Foot Clinic, we aim to go further by helping to:

Identify the root cause of your injury, not just treat the symptoms
Rebuild strength and balance
Prevent repeat injuries
Level up your performance

How We Treat Sports Injuries

Your body is unique. So is your treatment plan.

We start with an advanced biomechanical assessment, using high-tech tools and a hands-on approach to understand how your body moves and functions.

Then, we build a personalised treatment plan which may include:

Shockwave Therapy
MLS Laser Therapy
Muscle Strengthening Exercises
Fascial Release & Mobilisation
Neural Proprioceptive Training (Power Plate)
Orthotics using 3D Scanning
Footwear Advice & Load Management
Cortisone Injection Therapy (if appropriate)

Our treatment goal in Sports Podiatry is to get you moving stronger, better and safer than before.

Tech That Makes the Difference

The Sports Podiatrists working at The Foot Clinic are committed to the best diagnostic care and treatment. “It is important that we keep our knowledge and technology up to date with best current practice.” says Dr Suresh, “As technology advances we need to know which ones will best benefit our patients.”

We invest in world-class tools because we believe our patients deserve the best in Sports Podiatry. Here’s what sets us apart:

Foot Orthotic Therapy with 3D Precision

Using 3D scanners accurate to 0.1mm, we design foot orthotics that fit like a glove and support the way your body moves. Our orthotics come with a 100% comfort guarantee.

Power Plate Neural Stimulation

Based on cutting-edge neuro rehab tech, the Power Plate helps “wake up” weak feet and reset reflexive posture, so you don’t keep repeating old movement patterns.

MLS Laser Therapy

MiS MLS Laser Therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses synchronized dual-wavelength infrared light to reduce pain, inflammation, and accelerate healing in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. At The Foot Clinic, we use the MiS MLS Laser—a next-generation system that delivers both immediate and long-lasting results by combining continuous and pulsed laser energy for deeper, more effective tissue repair. Clinically proven to speed up recovery by up to 3 times, it offers a fast, pain-free, drug-free solution trusted by professionals and athletes worldwide.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a powerful, non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tendons, fascia, and muscles—helping to reduce pain, improve mobility, and fast-track recovery. At The Foot Clinic, we use the EMS DolorClast® shockwave system, the gold standard in radial shockwave technology and the most clinically validated device in the world. Developed in Switzerland and trusted by elite sports teams and medical institutions globally, the DolorClast® delivers precise, high-intensity energy with maximum comfort—backed by over 250 peer-reviewed studies. It’s not just shockwave therapy—it’s the best there is.

Common Sports Injuries We Treat

We see hundreds of Perth locals every year for sports-related conditions, covering all areas of foot pain, ankle pain and lower leg pain. Lower limb injuries can occur in any sport and may be acute or chronic. An example of a very common acute injury is an inversion ankle sprain which may happen from landing on someone’s foot.

The most common foot and ankle issues include:

Heel Pain (Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendonitis, Bursitis)

Heel pain is often caused by weak foot posture, overload, or poor biomechanics. We don't just address the symptoms - our primary aim is to build strong and functional feet.

Shin splints

Shin splints are caused by overload, tightness, or poor foot mechanics, especially from pronation or rapid training increases.

Runner’s Knee & General Knee Pain

Knee issues don't always come from the knee itself. Knee pain is commonly linked to foot function, poor alignment and weak kinetic chain action.

Ankle Sprains

Ankle sprains are one of the most common acute sports injuries, often related to jumping, landing awkwardly, or rolling the ankle on an uneven surface.
