Hi, I'm Div and I lead the Podiatry team here at GRIT Physio and Podiatry in Glen Iris. Most people come to us because something doesn't feel right. Their feet hurt, walking feels off and running flares things up and the answers they usually get a rushed, vague or inconsistent. At Grit, we're redefining what Podiatry looks like. We go beyond the basic assessment because your body doesn't exist in isolation. We assess how you move, how you absorb load, and how your whole body functions. We use state of the art technology and hands on treatment to identify the root cause of the problem. Then we give you a clear step by step plan so you know exactly what's going on and what to do about it. This is modern movement focused care designed to get you back to doing what you love with confidence.
