Sports Podiatry
About Sports Podiatry at Sportreat & TotaLife Care
Sports Podiatry is a branch of Podiatric Medicine that deals in the diagnosis,
treatment and prevention of foot / lower limb injuries in sport and exercise.
This may include treatments such as joint mobilisation; injection therapy, soft tissue manipulation, advanced
biomechanical assessments, foot orthotic therapy, conditioning of the lower extremities, and footwear prescription
Because of the competitive nature of sport, the primary aim of Sports Podiatry is to return the patient to their former
level of function as soon as practically possible. This is for the professional, elite, and amateur athlete,
as well as those who have sustained injuries in day-to-day life.
We are proud to have Jason Rzepecki as our Sports Podiatrist.
To book an appointment with him, please give us a call on 08 9438 2400!
