What Is Plantar Fasciitis?

Take your finger and trace from the bottom of your heel, out to all five toes like a fan.

Hi I’m Tev! I was born and raised in Brisbane where I completed my Bachelor of Podiatry at the Queensland University of Technology. After graduating, I worked full-time for several years in inner-city Brisbane before completing my Master of Physiotherapy Studies at the University of Queensland to better enhance my knowledge, skills, and overall care for my patients.I enjoy seeing and treating all aspects of podiatry, but thanks to my understanding of both professions I have special interests in musculoskeletal care, biomechanics, lower-limb pain, and exercise rehabilitation.Outside of my work, you can find me hanging out with friends and enjoying all kinds of sports including mixed martial arts, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, gym, soccer, and basketball.

Our feet are intricate marvels of engineering, perfectly adapted to propel us across diverse landscapes. Yet, like any finely tuned machine, even slight deviations in motion can cause wear and tear. We have all experienced the blisters that form from an ill-fitting pair of shoes, or a sudden increase in activity.

Hello, my name is Seipati, and I’m a Podiatrist at My Foot Dr. in Bathurst. I am friendly, easy-going, and a compassionate clinician. Apart from my passion for podiatry, one of the things I enjoy about my job is meeting different people and engaging in good, meaningful conversations, as we always have something new to learn from each other. I obtained my Podiatry degree from the University of Johannesburg, South Africa, in 2015.

I have recently relocated to Australia to pursue my passion in Podiatry. With my 8 years of experience as a Podiatrist, I am an all-rounder Podiatrist with an interest in pain relief and improving the quality of life for all my patients. I always strive to excel in providing good quality healthcare, ensuring patient satisfaction, and continuous personal and professional improvement.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading medical journals related to Podiatry and advancements in the field. I am also family-oriented and cherish spending time and making memories with my loved ones. I appreciate walking and exploring the beautiful historical town of Bathurst and look forward to experiencing more of this vibrant community.

bracenfix™ Process:

bracenfix™ is a revolutionary Ingrown Toenail Treatment designed to address ingrown toenails without the need for surgery or discomfort. This innovative system utilizes a hardened composite material that is cured by an LED light, effectively acting as a brace on the nail plate. By maintaining the correct shape as the nail grows from the base to the end, it reshapes the pathway for new nail growth.

Once applied, the bracenfix™ system remains in place for approximately 2-3 months. As the toenail grows, bracenfix™ moves with it, aiding in the correct positioning of the toenail. Additional bands can be applied during this period to ensure the desired outcome.
