With just two weeks left before the Melbourne Marathon Festival, the countdown to race day has begun. We understand the urgency of this final phase of preparation so in this blog post, we'll highlight the specific ways we can assist you in these critical two weeks leading up to the marathon.

Last-Minute Foot Assessment: As you enter the home stretch of your marathon preparation, it's essential to have a quick but thorough foot assessment. Our experienced podiatrists can identify any potential issues that may have arisen during your training, ensuring your feet are in optimal condition for the big day. Shoe Analysis and Adjustments: If you've been experiencing discomfort or notice wear and tear on your running shoes, our podiatrists can analyse your footwear and recommend any necessary adjustments. We'll ensure your shoes provide the right support and comfort for the marathon. Custom Orthotics Express Service: For those in need of custom sports orthotics insoles or repairs, our express service is designed to provide you with a quick and effective solution. We can create custom orthotics tailored to your foot shape and running style in a shorter timeframe, ensuring you have them ready for the race. Last-Minute Foot Treatment: In the final two weeks, focusing on foot and ankle mobility is essential.
