Podiatry FIrst

Having both studied Podiatry at the University of Adelaide and gained the combined experience of treating a range of clients and conditions, Tom and Georgina decided to establish a clinic in the hub of the eastern suburbs, Bondi Junction in 2002.

Podiatry First was set up to provide the highest quality foot care to a range of clients that include children, people experiencing foot and heel pain, women who want to look better in sandals or feel better in stilettos, and older people with specific health problems. Since 2002, Podiatry First has grown to become on of the most respected and busiest clinics in the area.

That's why Georgie's foot treatments are some of the most sought after in the Eastern Suburbs and Sutherland Shire. Clients include busy professionals, children and older people with specific ailments.

Georgie has bought with her to the Miranda clinic new advanced methods of casting and biomechanics with the introduction of the FAS weight baring casting system and Dart Fish video gait analysis, to help treat all foot injuries.

"I see so many clients - men and women alike - who come to the clinic with a foot problem, whether it's heel pain or a sore knee and they'll keep coming back for the treatments even after the problem has gone."
