What a welcoming, professional, supportive and caring experience my first visit to Ben was yesterday. I received a thorough examination of my foot, reflective listening to my problems and initial advice a degree of support was given- until further investigations can show the real cause of my situation. Then a very thorough email summarising my visit was sent with ‘what to do’ and ‘where to from here’ A very positive and supportive experience - thank you.
I had a great experience seeing Ben at Sports and Family Podiatry. He was very thorough, took the time to explain everything clearly, and really listened to my concerns. I appreciated how knowledgeable and professional he was, and the advice he gave was very helpful. I would definitely recommend Ben and the team at Sports and Family Podiatry.
The attention to detail and the tailored care provided by Ben and the team is truly outstanding. My plantar fasciitis was addressed and healed within a handful of sessions, and was supported by a care plan for maintenance and longevity.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much, Janitha, for your very kind words. It was a pleasure to help, and we’re so pleased to hear you’re feeling better. We truly appreciate your trust and support of our team.
Ben worked me with from a base level of running fitness to running my first half marathon. He took a hands-on approach to assess my overall movement, prescribed custom orthotics, and worked with me to help resolve lingering ankle and knee soreness while running faster times and improving overall strength. He also provided some cool data and insight on my running stride and where I can improve things in the gym. I definitely recommend Ben to anyone, particularly runners of any level.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your thoughtful review Joe! It's been a pleasure helping you progress from building your running base to completing your first half marathon—an incredible achievement. I'm really pleased we could address your ankle and knee issues while also improving your running efficiency and strength. Wishing you all the best with your future running goals, and thanks again for your recommendation!
Response from the owner: Thank you for the 5-star review Rod!

Attended here after recommendation from a Sports Physiologist after my previous attempts to progress with my torn plantar faciitis had failed.I found a very pleasant Ben Sweeting to be genuinely caring and interested in my plight and proceeded with a very thorough questioning and examination.I had some small devices strapped around each ankle and after using the walking machine, Ben had a clearer view of my underfoot.Ben strapped my foot and gave me specific exercises to begin a gradual loading phase, which was what I was hoping for. He made sure my foot was able to withstand this pressure, with some simple calf raises to begin with.The waiting room was spotless and a provided a comfortable, quiet area to browse the footwear,etc for sale.The young receptionist lad was very personable with a happy smile to greet you when you arrive.I was sent an email of my invoice and a comprehensive report from Ben detailing what we had discussed in our appointment that day.Parking was busy but I was able to find a spot both times.Have had my second appointment with Ben and happy to recommend.
Ben is the best. His understanding of my feet issues and application of treatments and regime of exercises always work to get my feet back to their pain free, optimal confition.
My 16-year-old son has been seeing a podiatrist ever year since he was 2. While we liked his previous podiatrist, it became harder to get appointments and required travelling across town. After reading the 5-star reviews for Sports and Family Podiatry, we decided to give them a try.Caitlin was fantastic. She was friendly, engaging, very thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. She is currently fitting my son with personalised orthotics using the latest technology. The turnaround time is a huge bonus. We got an appointment within a week, and the orthotics will be ready in just one week, compared to the long wait times we were used to.Carolyn at reception was also very friendly and welcoming. We’re really happy with the experience so far and would highly recommend Sports and Family Podiatry.
Sports and Family Podiatry are both professional and personal. Their web page info and data collection was easy to fill out and was comprehensive. So on arrival for the first appointment there was no clip board to bother with. The podiatrist I saw - Caitlin Spencer is simply the best practitioner Ive ever had and that’s important when you suffer from ingrown nails.
Receptionist was very efficient and friendly. Caitlin looked after my needs. Extremely thorough, knowledgeable, gentle. Asked pertinent questions and gave me a few not previously known pointers. The precinct adjoining the Clem Jones Centre at Carina is obviously growing its profile in the “health and wellness” space with a growing list of health professionals setting up. Good parking available as well. Would definitely go back and highly recommend Sports and Family Podiatry at Carina.
Would highly recommend Ben. He is treating both my husband and myself for different foot conditions. Love his expertise, attention to detail and overall approach to patients.
Caitlin was lovely, so warm and friendly. Very professional. Gave options, and clear explanations and instructions going forward. I will 100% return in the future.
Caitlin was lovely and very honest and realistic about my goals and budget. Very thorough consultation getting all the relevant details before making a plan with me.
Highly recommend Ben at Sports & Family Podiatry! After a toe injury, I had lost hope of returning to sports, but working with Ben over the past year, along with some quality orthotics has given me the support and confidence to get back into exercise. Ben is kind, patient, and took the time to help me understand what I needed to do to enjoy sports again.
I highly recommend Caitlin. I saw her after suffering knee pain for an extended period of time, and had become very severe over the last 12 months. I had had X-rays and physio with no improvement. I had a very thorough examination with Caitlin several months ago. She diagnosed an issue with my feet. Orthotics and exercises have now almost eliminated the pain, and it continues to improve. Some days now are completely pain free. Caitlin is very knowledgeable and was confident in her assessment and diagnosis. I did not realise that feet could affect the rest of your body so much. I am extremely happy with the outcome.
Highly recommend Ben at Sports & Family Podiatry. I had been struggling with knee pain for a while. Ben picked up the problem straight away and with the help of my health fund, I got some very affordable orthotics made and my knee has never been better!
Fanatic service. Highly knowledgeable and patient. Had foot pain preventing me from running . With some changes made over a few weeks after my initial consultation I was able to complete my goal of a half marathon.
Excellent outcome! 3years of foot pain sorted in 3 months & now working on overall foot, leg strength for long term, pain free mobility. Highly recommend Ben & the network of providers @ Clem Jones centre
My GP referred me to Ben after many years of treatment for a myriad of lower body ailments. Ben was wonderful and blended art and science to help me find significant improvement to my pain and discomfort. My only regret is not finding him sooner! Thank you.
Dr Sweeting went above and beyond for me every appointment. After 3 years of dealing with an injury, multiple doctors, I was finally able have results and am now on the mend! Couldn't reccomend Ben any more highly!
Great service, knowledgeable, and a great outcome for my feet. Thanks again, now I can tell my story walking, happy feet, highly recommend Ben and the team.
