Pre-Pregnancy Podiatry Care

Podiatry care before pregnancy focuses on foot and lower limb alignment, gait, and function. Care may help support optimal movement and posture and address any areas of restriction or imbalance in preparation for pregnancy.

Pregnancy Podiatry Care

We provide podiatry care to support foot and lower limb comfort, mobility, and function throughout pregnancy. Pregnancy can cause changes in the feet and lower limb due to ligamentous laxity, fluid retention, and the additional physical demands of pregnancy, which may affect comfort, posture, and mobility.
