Working Together for Better Foot Health in Kumeu. Our Visit to The Body Clinic

So, What Do Podiatrists Really Do?

Many people still think Podiatrists only cut toenails, but that’s just one tiny part of what we do!

At Norwest Podiatry, our scope includes:

• Musculoskeletal care: heel pain, Achilles tendinopathy, knee/hip pain linked to gait or foot posture
• Biomechanical assessments & orthotic therapy
• Skin & nail care: ingrown toenails, callus, fungal nails
• Diabetic and vascular foot health checks
• Wound care and prevention education
• Minor Surgery
• Preventative foot health education for all ages

Our goal is simple, ‘to keep people mobile, confident, and independent at every stage of life’.

Feet Affect the Whole Body. That’s Where Collaboration Becomes Powerful

When it comes to helping people move better, we all play a different role in the chain.

Osteopaths and Massage therapists do incredible work addressing tension, restriction and compensations through the body. Podiatry complements that by assessing how foot mechanics may be contributing in the first place.

When structural support from below meets skilled hands-on therapy above, patients get longer-lasting, more complete results.

Our Commitment to Community Foot Health

At Norwest Podiatry, clinical care is only one part of our mission. We’re proud to be active in the Kumeu, Huapai and wider Norwest community through:

• Free diabetic foot screening campaigns and other activities supporting Diabetes Action Month
• Educational in-services and presentations for local allied health teams just like The Body Clinic
• Support for local volunteers, including discounts for emergency service staff and community groups

Because healthy feet build healthy communities, and prevention always starts with awareness.
