When it comes to looking after your health, it’s easy to forget about your feet. But given you could walk about 128,000 km in your lifetime, healthy feet are an important part of your overall wellbeing. Foot problems can have a huge impact on your quality of life. If they occur, podiatrists can help.
Podiatrists are tertiary qualified and are the only health care professional whose total training focuses on the foot, ankle and related body systems. Our feet are made up of 52 bones and a network of muscles, joints and ligaments. As a specialist in foot care, the podiatrist receives 4 years training in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of foot and ankle disorders. There are over 200 identified conditions that affect our feet.
Clinical Pilates offers a system of safe, effective and highly specific exercises to address your specific needs.

One of our highly trained Exercise Physiologists will conduct a thorough health assessment and prescribe an individual set of pilates exercises to support you with your goals.
Massage therapy is a complementary therapy which aims to treat muscles that are damaged, knotted, tense or immobile. It is useful for a number of problems that affect the muscles, tendons and bones. Massage therapy is used to locate and repair damaged areas of the body and speed up the body’s own healing processes. The pressure applied in this healing treatment can either be strong and deep or gentle and shallow, depending on the problem.
Dry Needling is a valuable and effective adjunct treatment, using very thin needles which are guided deep into your muscle layers to inactivate myofascial trigger points. Dry needling works so effective through eliciting a healing response, providing immediate relief to the effected tissue. The result of needling is muscle relaxation, healing, deactivating trigger points and the associated referred pain, resulting in pain relief.
Hydrotherapy involves the use of water to treat various conditions, such as arthritis, rheumatic complaints and other ailments. Although it resembles swimming, it is different because it requires the individual to undertake different exercises in a warm pool of water. The water temperature in the pool is approximately 33–36ºC. This water is much warmer than what you will encounter in a normal swimming pool.

Testimonials
"Thanks to the coaching, care and encouragement, I was able to enjoy my recent holiday so much more than I would have 12 months ago. My fitness and ability to walk have improved enormously and my weight has gone down by 21kg. This makes everyday life and holidays so much more enjoyable, and allows me to hope for more improvement in the future. Thanks James!"
"Recovery is much easier when you are supported. The team at GRC are always dedicated to me, providing constant guidance and support. Previous to GRC I was lost in relation to my rehabilitation and was not progressing to my desired goals. Thanks GRC!"
"My journey to better health has just begun, after a T2D diagnosis snapped me into action. GRC (& Adam) have been fabulous with designing an exercise program to suit me. Super supportive and encouraging! Highly recommend!"
"Today I had my 6-week post-operative review after a Total Hip Replacement, and got a clean bill of health, and permission to do all normal things that a hip is called for! Yah! While I had an excellent surgeon in Ben Miller, his skills have been so well supported by the work that GRC has done on me over many months leading up to the operation. James and his team have simply been wonderful in sharing their expertise and knowledge to create the best scenario they could leading into and preparing for the operation, and James in particular scores a huge gold star for his gentle care during the last six weeks of post-operative rehab. Now, he has updated my program and challenges me to get up and moving again. Overall, the highest recommendation to the whole team. Thanks everyone!"
