Podiatry for Wolli Creek 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 Wolli Creek 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.
Book podiatry at MarrickvilleWhat foot swelling can indicate
Swelling that builds through the day and settles overnight is often venous — the valves in the leg veins struggling to return blood against gravity, made worse by prolonged standing or sitting.
Swelling that does not settle overnight, is one-sided, or comes with pain, warmth or skin changes needs prompt medical assessment rather than podiatry alone.
At your appointment we assess pulses, capillary refill and skin condition, and check for the changes that indicate longer-standing venous insufficiency — pigmentation around the ankle, skin thickening, or early ulceration.
Cramps, cold feet and night pain
Night cramps are common and usually benign. Persistently cold feet, cramping in the calf that comes on reliably after a set walking distance and eases with rest, or pain in the forefoot at night are a different picture and warrant arterial assessment.
We will refer on where that is what is needed. Knowing when a foot problem is not a foot problem is part of the job.
