The upside to a global pandemic has been the improvement of access to information online. The quality of online service provision in the health space has greatly improved access to international and world leading sources of information. Here I've collected resources for my clients. Each of these resources, I either utilise myself, with my family, or have had clients use them with great success. Online resources are best utilised after you've had your situation assessed by a knowledgeable health professional. We can help direct you to a resource that will complement your treatment.

Footwear
I very often recommend considering a transition to minimalist (natural) footwear for my clients. We will have had a long chat about why this is. Availability of this type of footwear has improved recently, but it's nice to have all the options in one place. Here, I've listed Australian minimalist shoe shops so that postage is Australian on your minimalist shoe orders.
