The Walking Clinic Manuka

The Walking Clinic Manuka is a podiatry clinic focused on foot, ankle and lower-limb health. Its team works with people experiencing pain, mobility problems or sports injuries, as well as those seeking routine foot care. The clinic aims to assess conditions and begin treatment during the first visit where possible, with care tailored to each patient’s needs.

Services described by the clinic include general foot care such as nail trimming, corn removal and callus treatment, along with diabetes assessments involving blood flow, nerve response and Doppler investigations. The podiatrists also provide sports podiatry, injury prevention and rehabilitation, biomechanical and gait assessments, and custom orthotic therapy. The clinic’s conditions information covers concerns ranging from heel pain, Achilles tendinopathy and ankle sprains to bunions, ingrown toenails, fungal nail infections and children’s lower-limb issues.

The Manuka clinic is located at 18 Flinders Way in a dedicated space with six clinic rooms. The Walking Clinic says its approach is centred on treating patients with kindness and dignity, whether the issue is minor or more serious. That makes it suited to people looking for professional help with an ongoing problem, athletes returning to activity, families managing children’s foot or lower-limb concerns, and anyone needing practical ongoing foot care. Its stated support for organisations including Tennis ACT, Athletics ACT, Touch Football ACT and local golf and sporting clubs also reflects a connection with Canberra’s active community.

The Walking Clinic has a long Canberra history. Richard Lee founded the practice in 1978 under the name ACT Podiatry Services, and the group now operates seven clinics across the region. The Manuka service began on Canberra’s south side in 2015 in a shared space with The Canberra Physio Clinic before moving to its current dedicated premises. The clinic’s wider team includes podiatrists across Manuka and other Canberra locations, with an emphasis on continuing education, up-to-date care and collaboration with external healthcare providers when needed. With a 4.9 Google rating from 27 reviews, it is a well-reviewed option for podiatry in Manuka.
