The Camberwell podiatry market has a number of choices — so why do thousands of patients across Boroondara choose Upwell Health Collective for their foot care? Five reasons:
Upwell Health Collective has been independently recognised seven times for clinical excellence and patient outcomes. This is not a marketing claim — it's a track record built over a decade of caring for the Camberwell community across physiotherapy, podiatry, exercise physiology, clinical Pilates, and myotherapy. Our podiatry team brings the same standard of evidence-based care that earned us those awards across the broader clinic.
Most podiatry clinics run 15–20 minute consultations. The reality is that a thorough podiatry assessment — history, biomechanical examination, gait analysis, palpation, neurological screening, vascular assessment, footwear review, treatment planning — cannot be done well in 15 minutes. We run 45–60 minute initial consultations. Your podiatrist has the time to actually understand your foot problem before treating it. That difference is felt in outcomes.
Your feet don't exist in isolation from the rest of your body. The way your feet hit the ground influences your knees, hips, back, and even your neck. A heel pain problem might be a tendon issue, a fascial issue, a footwear issue, a strength deficit issue, or a combination. At Upwell, your podiatrist works alongside our physiotherapy, exercise physiology, clinical Pilates, and myotherapy teams under one roof. Complex foot problems benefit from this integrated approach — and you don't have to drive to four different clinics to get it.
Our Camberwell clinic features the NASA-designed AlterG anti-gravity treadmill — technology unavailable at most Melbourne podiatry clinics. The AlterG allows runners recovering from foot and lower limb injuries to return to running with reduced bodyweight load, accelerating recovery and protecting healing tissues. We also use video gait analysis, in-shoe pressure mapping, and 3D foot scanning for custom orthotic prescription.
28 free undercover car parks exclusively for patients. Wheelchair accessible. Tram routes 70 and 75 along Riversdale Road stop minutes from our front door. Camberwell train station and bus routes nearby. We make the logistics easy so the focus stays on your treatment.
Our podiatrists treat the full spectrum of foot and ankle conditions for patients in Camberwell and across Melbourne's inner east. Some of the most common include:
The most common podiatry presentation. Sharp pain at the medial heel, worse with the first steps in the morning, eases through the day. We treat this with evidence-based loading programs (the Rathleff protocol), footwear modification, custom orthotics where indicated, and shockwave therapy for refractory cases. Read our Tendinopathy Ultimate Guide 2026 for the complete evidence base on plantar fasciopathy and other tendon-related foot conditions.
Pain in the Achilles tendon, common in runners, walkers, and active people across all ages. Modern care combines heavy slow resistance loading (the Kongsgaard protocol) with biomechanical assessment and footwear advice. Particularly common in perimenopausal women due to the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause — covered in our Perimenopause & Menopause Thrive Guide 2026.
People with diabetes need annual foot assessment to screen for neuropathy, vascular disease, and ulcer risk. We provide comprehensive diabetic foot examinations, neuropathy screening, vascular assessment, nail care, wound monitoring, and footwear advice. Medicare EPC plans cover up to 5 sessions per calendar year for eligible patients. Our podiatrists work closely with your GP and diabetes care team.
Ingrown toenails affect adults and adolescents of all ages and can be intensely painful. We provide conservative nail care for mild cases and partial or total nail avulsion procedures for recurrent or severe cases. Performed under local anaesthetic at our Camberwell clinic. Most patients return to normal activity within days.
Sever's disease (calcaneal apophysitis), Osgood-Schlatter (knee), in-toeing, flat feet, sports injuries, growing pains, and general foot development. Camberwell and Boroondara have one of the highest concentrations of school-age children in Melbourne, and we work with families across the region on paediatric foot health. No referral required.
For conditions where biomechanical correction supports recovery and prevention. We use 3D foot scanning and gait analysis to design custom orthotics tailored to the individual. Not every foot problem needs orthotics — and we will tell you when they're appropriate and when they aren't. Honest, evidence-based prescription.
Bunion management (conservative and surgical referral), Morton's neuroma, hammer toe, claw toe, metatarsalgia, sesamoid pain, and general forefoot pain. Particularly common in adults over 40 and in perimenopausal women.
Stress fractures, shin splints, peroneal tendinopathy, ankle sprains, calcaneal pain, footwear assessment, gait analysis, return-to-running protocols. Cross-references our Combat Sports Chronicle 2026 for grapplers and strikers.
Corns, calluses, cracked heels, warts, fungal nail infections, foot odour, and routine nail care. Particularly valuable for older adults, people with diabetes, and people with limited mobility.

Your first 45–60 minute consultation includes:
1/ Detailed history. When did your foot problem start? What makes it worse? What makes it better? Your activity level, footwear, work demands, sleep, and medical history. Foot problems rarely have a single cause — we want to understand yours.
2/ Comprehensive physical assessment. Visual examination, palpation, range of motion testing, muscle strength, neurological screening (where appropriate), vascular screening (where appropriate), and biomechanical assessment.
3/ Gait and movement analysis. Video gait analysis for running and walking mechanics where relevant. In-shoe pressure mapping for footwear and orthotic decisions where indicated.
4/ Treatment. We start treatment in the first session where appropriate — nail care, manual therapy, taping, footwear modification, exercise prescription, and education about your condition.
5/ Clear explanation and plan. You'll leave understanding your condition, knowing what to do at home, and having a clear pathway for the weeks ahead.
6/ Coordinated care. If your foot problem connects to broader issues (knee pain, hip pain, back pain, posture), we coordinate with our physiotherapy or exercise physiology team. If you need GP, sports physician, or surgical input, we facilitate that referral.

Podiatrists specialise in the foot and ankle — nail care, skin care, biomechanical correction, custom orthotics, nail surgery, diabetic foot care, and footwear. Physiotherapists treat the broader musculoskeletal system including the foot. For many foot problems, both disciplines have a role — and at Upwell, our podiatry and physiotherapy teams work together where that benefits the patient.
