Hi from all of us here at Posture Podiatry!
Autumn has arrived, and with the Adelaide Fringe Festival upon us and the AFL footy season commencing this week, it’s a friendly reminder of how important it is to keep the feet and legs in tip top shape ready to take on life’s events and challenges. In this issue, we’ll share the latest clinic news, laser treatment updates and share some essential tips to help you stay at the top of your game for the Autumn season and beyond. Whether you’re playing footy, soccer, golf, basketball, netball or simply out and about enjoying a walk, we’ve got you covered.
Clinic News & Updates
It’s a Boy!
We’re happy to report that our podiatrist, Tess Clisby, recently gave birth to a gorgeous little baby boy late last month. Everything appeared to go as planned with baby Max receiving a very warm welcome from Mum, Dad and family. Tess plans to be away on maternity leave until later in 2025. We’ll keep everyone posted with further updates on Tess and the family as they unfold but at this stage it’s time for Mum to enjoy baby Max. Thank you to everyone for the well wishes sent via the clinic and social media.
New Podiatrist Joining Our Team:
Joel Urban will soon be with us here at Posture Podiatry. Joel’s planned start date is Monday, 24th March. Joel is originally from Adelaide and graduated as a podiatrist from UniSA approximately 25 years ago. Joel has since worked at a number of different podiatry centres including Sydney City Podiatry (2001-2025), Holdsworth House Medical Centre (2001-2021), Chatswood Foot Clinic (2021-current), Hills Sports Medicine, Bella Vista (2009-2025)
Outside of podiatry Joel was actively involved in ‘Good Willow Huntington’s Charity’ (2017) creating and organising a charity event that raised $30,000 for the Huntington’s association of SA/NT in support of a close friend and survivor of Huntington’s disease.
Joel also has a special keen interest in sports podiatry with close associations with various AFL teams and A-league soccer teams.
Joel was also a SACA Contracted Cricketer from 1998-1999 so he’s well versed and experienced in the management and understanding of foot and lower limb sporting injuries.
We eagerly await Joel’s start date as his experience will provide a great balance of expertise and talent at Posture Podiatry. To learn more about Joel, you can find all his details at this page on our site.

Autumn Foot Health Tips
Just a few simple tips to remember when shopping for new shoes, boots or sporting footwear:
- Purchase New Footwear After Activity: When it comes to purchasing new footwear or boots, be sure to try shoes on after you’ve been walking or active for a few hours. Feet can swell a little throughout the day so it’s important to try footwear later in the day to allow for any swelling and a more comfortable fit.
- Don’t Forget Socks (and Orthotics if you wear them): Always try on new footwear with the socks you intend to wear so you can ensure the correct fit is achieved with both your shoes and socks on. If you wear orthotics, make sure you remember these as well. A lot of problems can arise through improper fit.
- Choose Appropriate Footwear: Shoes for lawn bowls won’t quite cut it on the footy field. Make sure your shoes are appropriate for the activity you plan to participate in. If you need advice on appropriate footwear, our podiatrists can help.

Special Feature: Heel Pain in Children and Adolescents
It’s that time of the year again when Sever’s Disease (i.e. heel pain in children) commonly strikes. It often starts with preseason training and can get progressively worse with very active children between the ages of 8 to 14 years.
It can be extremely frustrating for players, parents, grand parents and coaches but it doesn’t have to be. If you notice your child, or a child you know, is limping after sport, chances are we can help.
We’ve got a whole article on the problem and the information is completely free. You’ll find all you need to know at this webpage on our website: https://posturepodiatry.com.au/severs-disease-treatment-that-really-does-help/
