Darlinghurst Near Podiatrist

For the way you train

Darlinghurst has gyms, group classes and easy access to the Domain and Hyde Park. You may run before work, train at CrossFit or F45, or fit a session in after a day in the city. Fast changes in training load, hills and hard paths can test the calves, shins and feet.

We look at your symptoms, training, shoes and gait. You get a clear explanation of what we find and a plan built around your next goal, whether that is a run, a class or a pain-free walk to Kings Cross.

Problems we often assess

Achilles tendinopathy

Achilles pain may start as morning stiffness, a sore spot at the back of the ankle or pain when you push off. Hills, jumps, sprint work and sudden changes in running can all increase load. We assess the tendon and help you work out what exercise and training changes may help.

Shin splints

Pain along the shin can make running and jumping feel hard. We check your training pattern, footwear, strength and lower-limb movement. The aim is to identify the source of stress before you keep pushing through it.

Ankle sprains

A rolled ankle is not always a simple injury. If it stays swollen, unstable or painful, an assessment can help you understand what needs attention. We can guide your return to walking, gym work and sport.

Sports orthotics

Sports orthotics may help with support and load management in the right situation. We assess your sport shoes and how you move before deciding whether they suit you.

Choose your route from Darlinghurst

From Oxford Street and Taylor Square

From the Oxford Street or Taylor Square side, take a city-bound bus such as the 333 to the Martin Place/Elizabeth Street stop. Walk from there to Hunter Street. Martin Place Metro is about a one-minute walk from our clinic.

If you walk, the route to Martin Place is about 2 km and takes around 24 minutes. You can come via Oxford Street, William Street, College Street or Crown Street, then continue to Suite 506 at 66 Hunter Street.

From Kings Cross

If you are closer to Kings Cross Station, take a City Circle train to Wynyard or Town Hall and walk through the CBD. Wynyard is about a five-minute walk from the clinic. This can be a useful option if you do not want to walk the full route after training.

What to expect at a sports podiatry visit

Your first visit lasts 30–45 minutes. Bring the shoes you run or train in and tell us about recent changes in distance, classes or gym work. We assess the problem, discuss your options and can start care that day where appropriate. No referral is needed.

A standard consultation costs $110–$145. Fungal nail laser treatment, if needed, is $205 for the first session and $160 for follow-up sessions.

Book around training and work

Dr Tariq Khan works with Lance Penn and Will Zalloua at our Sydney CBD clinic. We are open Wednesday until 5:30pm and Thursday and Friday until 5pm, which may make it easier to book around a weekday session or workday.
