Podiatry in Athelstone
/Athelstone
Our podiatry team at Move Beyond Athelstone provides expert foot and ankle care for people of all ages and activity levels. Whether you are dealing with heel pain that has been building for months, an ingrown toenail that needs sorting, a running injury that keeps coming back, or a child with a gait concern that has been worrying you, our podiatrists are here to help.
We go well beyond the basics. While traditional podiatry focuses on nails, corns, and calluses, our Athelstone team brings a broader clinical toolkit including shockwave therapy, 3D foot pressure analysis on our Zebris treadmill, running and gait assessment, custom orthotics, PACT fungal nail treatment, footwear advice, rehabilitation, and nail procedures under local anaesthetic. We combine hands-on treatment with a thorough understanding of how the foot and lower limb works under load, so your plan targets what is actually driving the problem.
Our clinic director, Joe Keain, is an Endorsed Principal Podiatrist and was named Australian Podiatrist of the Year in 2022. A marathon and ultramarathon runner himself, he has a special interest in running injuries, biomechanics, and complex foot and ankle conditions.
We work closely with our physiotherapy team at the same clinic, so if your condition has a broader musculoskeletal component, we can bring in the right person without you having to start from scratch somewhere else.

Podiatry services available at Athelstone
General Podiatry
From nail and skin care to corns, calluses, and general foot health, our podiatrists provide comprehensive day-to-day foot care for people of all ages.
Custom Foot Orthotics
Our podiatrists use 3D foot pressure analysis and a detailed gait assessment to prescribe and fit custom orthotics designed for your specific foot mechanics and goals. Whether you are managing pain, recovering from injury, or looking to improve your running efficiency, we match the orthotic to what your foot actually needs.
Endorsed Podiatry Care
As an Endorsed Podiatrist, Joe can prescribe scheduled medicines when appropriate, including corticosteroid injections and anti-inflammatories, and can provide Penthrox (the Green Whistle) to help make nail procedures more comfortable.
Second Opinions
Complex and persistent foot and ankle problems, including second-opinion and post-surgical cases where previous treatment has not achieved the outcome you were hoping for. Bring any scans and reports and we will take a fresh look.
Children's Podiatry
Growing feet need careful attention. We assess and treat a range of paediatric conditions including growing pains (Sever's disease), flat feet, in-toeing, out-toeing, and gait concerns. We work with children in a relaxed and friendly environment, and with their families to support healthy foot development.
Ingrown Nail Procedures
Ingrown toenails are painful and often recurring. Our podiatrists offer both conservative management and minor surgical procedures (partial nail avulsion), which aim to stop the nail growing back in. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, and your podiatrist will talk you through recovery and when you can get back to your usual activities.
PACT Fungal Nail Treatment
PACT (Photodynamic Antimicrobial Therapy) is a treatment for fungal nail infections that uses a gel activated by a specific wavelength of light. It does not involve oral antifungal medication, which suits people who would rather avoid tablets or who have not had success with creams and paints. We will talk you through whether it suits your nails, along with practical care at home.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy (extracorporeal shockwave therapy) is used for persistent tendon and soft tissue problems such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy and tibialis posterior pain, often alongside a strength and loading program for the foot, ankle and calf. Your podiatrist will tell you whether it is a good fit for you and how many sessions to expect.
Foot Mobilisation Therapy
Gentle, targeted manipulation of the joints of the foot and ankle to improve range of motion, reduce stiffness, and restore normal movement patterns. Particularly useful for people with chronic foot pain, stiff joints, or postural foot dysfunction.
Running Assessment
Joe, a Level 1 running coach and long-distance runner, uses our Zebris pressure-sensing treadmill to look at how you run, from foot strike through to hip and trunk movement, and find the factors driving injury or holding you back. See our Running Assessment page for full details.
Gait and 3D Foot Pressure Analysis
A thorough assessment of how you walk. Our Zebris treadmill captures how load is spread across your feet with every step, and with video analysis we can see the patterns contributing to pain in the feet, ankles, knees, hips, or lower back. The same data guides orthotic prescription, footwear advice and technique coaching.
Moon Boot Fittings
We fit and supply moon boots (CAM walkers) for a range of conditions including stress fractures, severe sprains, and post-surgical offloading. Our podiatrists will advise on the right boot for your situation and how to use it correctly.
Footwear Advice
The wrong footwear is one of the most common contributors to foot and lower limb pain. Our podiatrists provide specific, practical footwear recommendations based on your foot type, activities, and any existing conditions.
Diabetes Assessments
People living with diabetes are at increased risk of foot complications. We provide comprehensive diabetic foot assessments covering circulation, sensation, skin integrity, and nail health, and work with your GP and endocrinologist to reduce your risk of serious foot problems.
