Camperdown Podiatry

Shin splints, Achilles pain, stress reactions and forefoot overload all share a cause: load applied faster than tissue can adapt. Podiatry is where you find out which tissue, and what to change.

Podiatry for Camperdown patients at Hyper Health Marrickville

Podiatry at Hyper Health is delivered by Ray Nguyen, whose practice centres on thorough gait analysis and lower-limb assessment. Ray holds a Bachelor of Health Science and a Master of Podiatric Medicine, and has worked across hospitals, aged care and multidisciplinary allied health settings.

Appointments for Camperdown patients are seen at our Marrickville clinic at Shop 1/20-22 Station St, open seven days. Because we also have chiropractors, physiotherapists and massage therapists on site, problems that turn out to sit above the foot do not require a separate referral and a three-week wait — we can bring a colleague in directly.

What an initial appointment involves:

  • A history covering your symptoms, footwear, activity and any relevant medical conditions
  • A physical assessment of joint range, strength, skin and circulation
  • Gait analysis, walking and running where relevant
  • A working diagnosis explained in plain terms, and what it means for you
  • A treatment plan with a realistic timeframe, and the cost of anything recommended stated up front

We are registered for private health rebates with HICAPS on site, and we see NDIS participants — see our NDIS podiatry page for how that works.

Load, not damage

Most running injuries are not the result of a single traumatic moment. They build when training volume, intensity, surface or footwear changes faster than bone, tendon and fascia can remodel.

That reframing matters, because it points to the fix. Rest alone removes the load but does nothing to raise your tolerance for it, which is why so many runners feel fine after two weeks off and are sore again within two runs.

We assess your gait, your footwear and your training history together, then build a graded return that raises capacity rather than simply avoiding the trigger.

What a running assessment involves

A full assessment covers standing and walking alignment, ankle and first-toe range of motion, calf and foot strength testing, and video gait analysis where it will change the plan.

You leave with a diagnosis, a loading programme, and a clear answer on whether footwear or orthotic changes are worth the money in your case — sometimes they are not, and we will say so.
