RunWise Podiatry Port Macquarie

The RunWise program is a comprehensive solution designed for runners and triathletes of all ages and experience levels. It aims to bring back the joy and ease of running while preventing injuries and maximising performance. With running becoming more complicated due to extensive research, especially for beginners, RunWise simplifies the process. The program caters to those new to running or walking, individuals looking to improve their performance, and women transitioning through perimenopause and menopause. Led by the passionate Esher Townsend, the sessions focus on setting goals, building strength, analysing gait, assessing footwear, and considering age and hormones’ impact. Participants receive injury prevention guidance, a tailored strength training program, insights from in-shoe pressure measurements, gait improvement tips, and personalised training recommendations for a fulfilling and injury-free running experience.

​Esher’s podiatry career was driven by a personal experience that ignited her passion for helping others. It all started when she sought treatment for chronic shin splints, a condition that had been preventing her from competing at the level she wanted. From the age of nine, Esher’s life has been intertwined with the sport of running, from a competitive youngster to using it to keep fit and healthy. In 2018, she made the bold decision to challenge herself even further by participating in an Ironman event and a love affair with triathlon began.

She firmly believes that every person deserves the opportunity to participate in their chosen sports and activities without pain or discomfort. Drawing upon her extensive knowledge and expertise in podiatric care, Esher is committed to empowering her patients to not only excel in their athletic pursuits but also embrace a pain-free and high-quality life.

You can expect personalised and compassionate care tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re an elite athlete striving for peak performance or an individual seeking relief from leg, foot and ankle issues, Esher is dedicated to providing effective treatments and practical solutions to help you achieve your goals. Her ultimate objective is to optimise your foot health, enhance your overall well-being, and enable you to embrace an active, pain-free lifestyle.
