Podiatrists diagnose and treat a range of disorders that affect the feet, ankles, shins and knees. They also can determine if these conditions could impact further up the lower limb chain.
Why choose Podiatry at Star Physio?
At Star Physio, our podiatrists work collaboratively with our in-house team of physiotherapists, sports doctors and specialist orthopaedic surgeons. This ensures optimal care and early return to previous level of activity for our patients.
At Star Physio, our focus is on delivering evidence-based podiatry care for common musculoskeletal injuries that affect foot function. We concentrate on finding practical treatment solutions to help you move better and live pain-free.
The feet play a crucial role in supporting the lower limbs and body during walking and running. Activities like jumping, sports drills, or recovering from trauma or surgery place extra stress on the feet. This can lead to pain, dysfunction, or overuse injuries.
Our experienced podiatrists regularly treat complex foot and ankle conditions. These cases form the majority of their caseload, giving them the knowledge and confidence to assess and manage your unique presentation with precision.
Whether you’re dealing with sports injuries, chronic foot pain, or post-surgical rehab, our podiatry team is here to help.
Orthotics and shoe inserts
At Star Physio, our expert podiatry team uses orthotics to help improve lower limb biomechanics. By shifting or redistributing load through the feet and legs, orthotics can provide fast relief from pain and support long-term recovery.
In a sports setting, orthotics are often used to reduce the risk of injury and enhance performance by improving alignment and efficiency of movement.
We offer a wide range of orthotic solutions, from affordable, off-the-shelf inserts for short-term relief, to highly customised 3D-measured orthotics. These custom inserts are tailored to your feet, your goals, and your lifestyle—whether you need them for work, casual wear, or high-performance sport.
Our podiatrists use cutting-edge 3D scanning and prescription technology, combined with expert biomechanical assessment, to ensure a precise and personalised fit.
We’ve also partnered with leading sports medicine professionals to develop cycling-specific orthotics. These are designed to improve comfort, reduce injury risk, and may even enhance performance. Learn more about cycling orthotics here!
Orthotic Therapy is used commonly by podiatrists to treat numerous lower limb conditions.
These include foot pain, plantar fasciitis, achilles and even knee pain.
There is a wide range of devices available from off the shelf to full 3D custom options for all types of footwear and requirements.

Meet our podiatrists!
Unsure of whether your foot or lower-limb related problems should be seen by a podiatrist or physiotherapist? While both professions are trained in lower limb injury and pain management, podiatrists are experts in foot and ankle biomechanics and are trained in orthotic prescription. This can often give rapid improvements in pain in the feet, ankles, shins and even knees.
