What is Virtual Podiatry Consultation?
A virtual podiatry consultation is a private one-to-one consultation that is conducted between you and your podiatrist via video call on your mobile device or computer over a secure internet connection.
At Bounce Podiatry, much of what we need to do in a face-to-face consultation can be done over the internet using a simple and easy platform.
We are able to understand your problems by asking you to perform a series of specific assessments to better understand your condition.
At the end of your extended virtual consultation, we will be providing you a patient- and condition-specific management plan and/or exercise program to help you get back to feeling your best.

Possible podiatry conditions we can treat virtually include (but not limited to):
- Heel pain / plantar fasciitis management
