Natural Podiatry Solutions in Melbourne Without Orthotics
Foot Posture Centre was founded in 2003 by Melbourne podiatrists John Sfinas and Claude Tobgui, who pioneered a natural approach to resolving foot and leg pain. With over 20 years of combined experience, we developed the All Natural System to address structural issues through foot mobilisation, corrective exercises, and posture retraining. Our method focuses on eliminating reliance on orthotics, surgery, and medication while restoring mobility and preventing recurring pain. Our clinics in Ivanhoe and Forest Hill utilise evidence-based techniques rooted in 4,000-year-old principles, modern research, and patient-centred care.We prioritise long-term solutions by correcting joint misalignments and strengthening musculoskeletal systems to improve quality of life. Our team has treated thousands of patients, offering telehealth consultations and free educational workshops to promote natural foot health. As members of the Australian Podiatry Association and Sports Medicine Australia, we combine clinical expertise with a commitment to non-invasive, holistic treatments.

Services
Foot Mobilisation
Foot Mobilisation uses manual techniques to correct joint misalignments, reducing pain and improving mobility. This non-invasive treatment addresses structural issues in the feet and legs, preventing long-term damage. Patients experience relief from conditions like plantar fasciitis and heel spurs through targeted bone realignment.
Corrective Exercises
Custom corrective exercises strengthen foot and leg muscles to support proper alignment. These exercises prevent recurrence of pain by improving muscle function and joint stability. Patients learn techniques to maintain mobility and avoid reliance on orthotics or surgery.
Telehealth Consultations
Telehealth consultations provide remote access to podiatry expertise for foot and leg pain management. Patients receive assessments, diagnoses, and treatment plans from home. This service ensures continuity of care for those unable to visit our Melbourne clinics.
Posture Retraining
Posture retraining corrects walking patterns to alleviate stress on feet and joints. By addressing gait abnormalities, we reduce pain and prevent structural deterioration. This therapy improves overall mobility and quality of life for chronic pain sufferers.
Info Evenings
Free info evenings educate the public on natural foot pain solutions. Attendees learn about alternatives to orthotics and surgery through expert-led demonstrations. These sessions provide practical advice for maintaining foot health and preventing chronic conditions.
