A survey of 500 Australians from all across the country has identified an area of healthcare where Australians are not looking after themselves.

The findings identified a common trend amongst participants who were not aware of the services a podiatrist offered, despite experiencing pain in their lower legs and feet.

“It’s a common perception for people to think we just clip toenails and provide routine foot care for the elderly, but a podiatrist actually provides a range of medical assessments, procedures and services from the knee down from toddler years onwards,” said My FootDr Podiatrist and CEO Darren Stewart.

Prominent findings relating to foot-related pain included:
