Our Rose Bay Clinic
ModPod Podiatry has served the Eastern Suburbs from our Rose Bay clinic for over 20 years. The clinic sits on New South Head Road — central to Rose Bay, Double Bay, Bondi, Vaucluse, Woollahra, Bellevue Hill and the surrounding area.
Led by Lance Penn, our Clinical Director with over 30 years of experience, the Rose Bay clinic is equipped with a zebris pressure plate treadmill for biomechanical and gait assessments. This is the only podiatry clinic in Rose Bay with this technology.
We treat patients of all ages — from children with flat feet and gait concerns to runners managing injuries to seniors who need routine foot care. GPs, sports physicians and physiotherapists across the Eastern Suburbs refer patients to our team.
No referral is needed to book. Saturday appointments are available from 9am, and same-week appointments are available most weeks.
Custom Orthotics In Eastern Suburbs
Custom orthotics are the most common treatment we prescribe at our Rose Bay clinic — the closest Modpod location to the Eastern Suburbs. We design each pair based on a biomechanical assessment using our zebris pressure plate treadmill. This captures pressure data during walking and running to guide the orthotic design — not a foam box impression.
We prescribe orthotics for heel pain, flat feet, knee pain, shin splints and biomechanical issues that cause pain further up the chain. We also fit children’s orthotics and can adjust devices as your child grows.
If you’ve had orthotics before and they didn’t work, the prescription may not have been right. A reassessment with pressure plate data often reveals what was missed.
Sports Podiatry In Rose Bay
Lance Penn built his career in sports podiatry. He has treated athletes at every level — from weekend parkrunners at Centennial Park to competitive runners training for City2Surf and the Sydney Marathon. As a former half-marathon runner himself, he understands running injuries from both sides of the treatment table.
Common sports presentations we treat for Eastern Suburbs patients include:
Shin splints — medial tibial stress syndrome, common in runners increasing distance too fast Achilles tendinopathy — pain at the back of the heel or mid-tendon, often from sudden load changes Plantar fasciitis — heel pain under the foot, worse with first steps in the morning Stress fractures — metatarsal and calcaneal stress fractures in runners and court sport athletes Knee pain — patellofemoral pain and ITB syndrome linked to foot biomechanics Ankle sprains — assessment, rehabilitation and prevention of recurrence
We use the zebris pressure plate treadmill at our Rose Bay clinic to assess gait, identify biomechanical faults and guide treatment decisions. Whether you run the Bondi to Bronte, train in Centennial Park or play weekend sport, we can help you stay active.

Podiatry Services Rose Bay
Lance Penn built his career in sports podiatry. We treat shin splints, Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, stress fractures and knee pain linked to foot biomechanics. Whether you run the Bondi to Bronte, train in Centennial Park or play weekend sport in the Eastern Suburbs, we can help you stay active.
We prescribe custom orthotics based on a thorough biomechanical assessment using our zebris pressure plate treadmill. This captures pressure data during walking and running — not a foam box impression. Orthotics are the most common treatment we prescribe at our Rose Bay clinic.
Sharp, burning pain in the ball of your foot may be Morton’s neuroma. We use padding, orthotics and footwear advice to reduce pressure on the affected nerve
That sharp pain under your foot with the first steps in the morning is often plantar fasciitis. We identify the cause and tailor treatment to your activity level — stretching, orthotics, footwear changes, shockwave therapy or a combination.
Thick, discoloured nails are often caused by fungal infection. Treatment starts the same day. We provide topical therapy for mild cases and cold laser treatment (Lunula laser) for moderate to severe infections. Over 10,000 patients treated.
It is important to emphasise that a timely diagnosis of Bunions can decrease the chance of needing more aggressive treatments.
We offer conservative care for mild ingrown toenails and minor nail surgery under local anaesthetic for recurring or infected cases. Surgery is performed in-clinic and takes around 30 minutes..
We see children from their first steps through to their teenage years for flat feet, toe walking, in-toeing, growing pains, Sever’s disease and gait concerns. We prescribe children’s orthotics when needed, guided by pressure plate data.
