Podiatry for Pain & Injury
Getting you back on your feet
Lower limb pain can be frustrating & debilitating, and our number one goal is to get you back on your feet. Elise will take a thorough, whole body approach to treating your pain- digging deep to find the root cause. Ultimately, helping you understand what’s going on and what can be done to get you moving & feeling better.
BIOMECHANICAL ASSESSMENT
What is it?
When we do a biomechanical assessment, we’re looking at how well your muscles, joints, and nerves are working together. It’s not just about your feet—we consider how your whole body moves and whether things like posture, hip alignment, compensations affecting functional movement or all of it, may linked to what’s happening in your lower legs.
Initial Assessment
This is a thorough assessment of the body as a whole in regards to any concerns, pain or general check of the lower limb. We will integrate a treatment, plan and you will receive a personalised report with exercise intervention after the consult. A 60-90 minute in clinic appointment and approximately 30 minutes behind the scenes tailoring report and treatment plan.
If you feel you have multiple presentations or more than one problem the 60 minutes can extend 15 minute incrementally at approximately $40 per 15 minutes. Click here for more details on appointment types and which is best for you.
Elise is extensively trained in various biomechanical models – from static, dynamic to functional movement. Elise being a keen runner all of her life has further interest and experience in running rehabilitation. Treatments from further studies include but are not only exclusive to: Foot mobilisation therapy, stecco fascial manipulation (1), dry needling, injection therapies, exercise script and loading programs as well as low level laser therapy.

Treating your Pain
All Biomechanical Assessments result in a tailored treatment plan for long-term results. This may include one or some of the following treatments & therapies:
A holistic approach for long-lasting results
Consult Appointments
Consultation-style appointments ensure I’m providing a thorough assessment of your concern. Quick appointments are limiting and typically focus on the concern only at face-value. I believe that lasting results come from taking the time to look at the bigger picture. Elise has over 10+ years experience and has finished multiple ongoing studies, leading her to a unique approach to functional Podiatry.
Pilates-Certified
Our entire body is connected, and discomfort in one area often stems from another. With that in mind, I completed a Pilates certification to better treat my patients. Alongside manual therapies, I can prescribe exercises to build strength and balance throughout the body.
Natural Footwear
Modern footwear can limit natural foot function. My podiatry style integrates manual therapies, exercise and low level laser therapy to treat your concerns. So that when you’re ready, you can step away from the limitations of modern footwear and orthotics.
Interest in Biomechanics
My desire to approach podiatry from a holistic point of view has lead me to gain further education on the body as a whole. With an understanding of the entire body, I can move past the foot and ankle- connecting the dots to the source of your concern.
Where would you go if your feet could take you there?
Lily10/06/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner has long suffered with debilitating ankles - until he saw Elise!! She really exceeded any expectations my partner had - finding the cause of his pain and providing various in-clinic therapies and at-home techniques to significantly reduce/eradicate his pain and improve his quality of life. He can now continue his work as a carpenter and surf, snowboard, etc. pain free! Elise is a highly knowledgeable, extremely passionate and skilled clinician whose holistic approach to natural foot function podiatry sets her apart. Thank you so much Elise!

I say good luck to you lucky people. A highly professional knowledgeable person in her chosen field. Kristy Sutton15/03/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elise is THE BEST podiatrist in the business, hands down. She is gentle but precise and always happy to answer any questions ‘feet’ related. Elise’s approach is always with compassion from the thorough initial examination to clear explanations with any treatment, making me feel confident and reassured throughout the process. Her expertise, professionalism, and kindness made a significant difference in my treatment, and I truly appreciate the time and effort she took to ensure my comfort and recovery. Highly recommended!! Jody06/03/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a fantastic experience with Elise at The Sole Pod. She is highly skilled, knowledgeable, and truly cares about her patients. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel comfortable with her warm and caring approach. What really stood out was the post visit follow-up. Elise provided exercise videos to support my recovery, which was incredibly helpful. I highly recommend Elise to anyone looking for expert podiatry care. WILLIAM04/03/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sole Pod staff are kind, caring and professional, and I genuinely believe everyone out there has the best Pediatrist from Sydney. Alice, I wish I had 4 hours to travel to you. There's a problem: you are truly missed, but I'll try the new owner in Sydney and find my way to you if required. You are genuinely missed 💖 Kind regards, William. Renee Savage04/03/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had severe planter fasciitis requiring surgery. Unfortunately after surgery I developed chronic regional pain syndrome and I was in severe pain and it affected every aspect of my life. In fact I didn’t really have a life due to the extreme pain I couldn’t do anything. Elise helped me get my life back, she never gave up and she wouldn’t let me give up either. Truly grateful for this remarkable lady, highly recommended, today I can do anything I want to do pain doesn’t stop me from living my best life. Thank you Elise! Ashley Gribbin04/03/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A few years ago I started having pain in my foot to the point I couldn’t walk & found that I had a planta fibroma. And after seeing a less then helpful surgeon, physios couldn’t help even though they tried I was at a loss of what to do until I found Elise. I was in extreme pain, in a boot and feeling like there was nothing I could do but she has helped me so much even helping with a previous calf tear that was still niggling with dry needling. We worked on the pain and reducing it to get out of the boot and then worked on helping the fibroma with fmt, laser etc so that I could get back to activities I loved. Even helping me get back into running which is something your told not to do again having a fibroma but nothing is impossible with Elise. She quite literally changed my life, to get me from where I was to where I am now is incredible and I don’t think I would be so healed if I hadn’t of seen Elise. I have been seeing her ongoing for 5 years due to other injuries as well but also as maintenance for my fibroma and I would highly recommend to see her.
