Podiatry
Expert Foot Care Through NDIS Podiatry Therapy
We provide expert NDIS-funded podiatry services to support individuals with disabilities in maintaining optimal foot health, mobility, and overall well-being. As a NDIS provider, we ensure that participants receive high-quality, tailored foot care in the comfort of their homes or community settings.
What Is Podiatry and Why Is It Important?
Podiatry is a specialised field of healthcare that focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and lower limbs. For individuals living with disabilities, proper foot care is essential to maintain mobility, reduce pain, and prevent serious complications that can impact daily life.
At Medisense, we understand the challenges that NDIS participants may face regarding foot health. Our podiatrists provide personalised care plans that address mobility issues, skin and nail conditions, and chronic conditions such as diabetes-related foot problems.
