NEW PATIENT SPECIAL OFFER
At Muscle Joint Bone our podiatrists work with people of all ages and activity levels; diagnosing and treating a range of foot and lower limb conditions including heel and arch pain, gait disturbances, skin problems, and ingrown toenails.
We provide analysis and treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle and leg, as well as rehabilitation after surgery, gait retraining, improving running technique, and routine nail, corn and callus care.
Our podiatrists are diversely trained and use many modalities from biomechanical assessment, through to mobilisation, electro therapies and exercise rehabilitation.
We’re extensively trained in manual therapy, which means we are “hands on” with our patients. This may include massage and joint mobilisation and manipulation, as well as muscle stretching, which we achieve using a wide variety of techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to visit a podiatrist at Muscle Joint Bone?
No, you do not need a referral to visit a podiatrist. Simply call our clinic to book your appointment! Please note that referrals are required for WorkCover, Veterans Affairs or Medicare Chronic Disease Management patients.
How long is each appointment?
The length of your appointment depends on your unique condition and the treatment you’re receiving. Call our clinic to get an indication of your upcoming appointment duration.
Can I claim with Medicare?
In Australia, podiatry is considered an allied health profession. Medicare rebates are generally not available for visits to the podiatrist. However, Medicare will cover treatment for those with chronic medical conditions under the Chronic Disease Management Scheme (CDM). The CDM is a government incentive that allows individuals with a chronic medical illness or condition to receive Medicare rebates for a maximum of five allied health services each calendar year. A chronic medical condition is one that has been present for six months or longer. Your GP will prepare an Enhance Primary Care (EPC) and refer you to an allied practitioner such as Muscle Joint Bone if you qualify for treatment.
Does private health insurance cover Muscle Joint Bone’s services?
If you have the appropriate level of private health insurance cover, you will receive a rebate for your podiatry consultation. To learn whether your health fund will cover your podiatry appointment, call our clinic today.
