Specialists in Sports Podiatry

Sports podiatrists Trent and Emily are experienced practitioners specialising in foot and lower limb injury management, including chronic heel pain. They are located within three highly regarded Sports Medicine Clinics in Sydney, encompassing the CBD, inner west and greater western Sydney areas. With a wealth of clinical experience and a commitment to resolving foot pain, Trent and Emily provide attention to detail, comprehensive assessment, gait analysis, a clear diagnosis and a confident management plan which often includes flexible orthotics, exercises and footwear prescription.

Trent and Emily are proud their patients often leave their initial sports podiatry consultation with a noticeable reduction in pain and always with an appropriate understanding of the problem and its recovery process. Quick results are often achieved and always welcomed, however long term outcomes are usually gained through a program of stretching and strengthening, running technique modification, soft tissue release and modalities to improve function such as orthotics and footwear. Their sports podiatry repertoire, patient commitment and communication are what place Trent and Emily amongst the most highly regarded in the sports podiatry profession.

Common or complicated foot pain? You’re in the right hands with Sydney's foot specialists

There is no injury too big, too small or too complicated and due to the multi-disciplinary nature of each clinic, Trent and Emily can engage the expertise of other leading health professionals if required.

Common injuries managed effectively by Trent and Emily include heel pain, plantar fasciitis, Sever's disease, stress fractures, shin splints, Achilles tendinitis, osteoarthritis, Morton's Neuroma, bunions and knee pain. Patients of any age, sporting or exercise level are welcome. Saturday and late weekly appointments are available upon request. A referral is appreciated though not necessary. HICAPS & free parking are available at both Rozelle and Sydney Olympic Park clinics.
