Medilogic In-shoe Pressure
We utilise the Medilogic in-shoe pressure measurement system as an assessment and diagnostic tool depending on your condition.
Foot pressure measurement (plantar foot pressures) is the gold standard for changing foot function, with the ability to deflect forces away from painful bunions or heels along with protecting an ulcerated wound. We can diagnose, measure and analyse our outcomes with repeatable measurements.
Paromed Orthotic Technology
The podiatrist who treats your lower limbs and feet has analysed and diagnosed your foot and gait pattern is the same person to design your custom full length EVA orthotics. Sports and Family Podiatry do not send your orthotics to be modelled and made by a third party. By using one of the best scanning, modelling and milling CADCAM orthotic systems in the world, we are able to produce some the most accurate functioning foot orthotics in the world. We back every foot orthotic with an unconditional guarantee…we stand behind our clinical skills and will continue to work with you if you have any concerns at all regarding your orthotics.

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.
We were so pleased to find Ben! His assessment of my daughter for orthotics was extremely thorough and included diagnostic equipment and software for biomechanics. His explanation of his findings and treatment plan was clear and meaningful. Ben’s caring, friendly and professional approach combined with his expertise ensured we felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for an exceptionally skilled and caring podiatrist.
My experience at Sports & Family Podiatry was excellent. Ben really listened, took his time, and was friendly and professional. I’d definitely recommend Ben and his clinic.
Ben is possibly the best medical practitioner I’ve ever worked with and probably the best podiatrist I’ve ever seen. Ben is very thorough, very supportive and very understanding. He tailors his treatment and exercises to suit the client. He has a calm and considered approach and doesn’t rush through his appointments. Ben is focused on a long term outcome, not just a short term fix. I appreciate that. Thanks Ben.
I saw Dr Sweeting for an initial consultation a couple of weeks ago after experiencing heel pain. I attended the clinic after reading all of the positive reviews. I was very impressed with Ben's level of knowledge, professionalism and approachability. Ben was spot on with his initial diagnosis (confirmed by subsequent ultrasound). I have also appreciated being able to contact him outside of consultation times to confirm treatment / exercises, plus how he sends an email post consultation to confirm what was discussed. Ben has also been welcoming of having my young children attend the clinic. I have already recommended the clinic to friends. The clinic itself is also very nice!
Fabulous podiatrist who has always gone above and beyond to assist with my many foot issues. Often fits me in when there is an urgent issues even when he has not time and it’s outside hours. Ben’s knowledge of foot issues is extensive and he always try’s to find ways to keep me moving and offer a range of options. Ben explains things very well and is very supportive and reassuring when there are significant issues to be addressed. Cant’t speak more highly of Ben’s approach and knowledge.
I came to Sports & Family Podiatry due to shin pain when running. After diagnosing a dreaded bone stress reaction and evaluating my running form, Ben developed an active recovery plan for me. His approach allowed me to maintain (some) running, accompanied by custom orthotics, cross-training, stretching, and strength work. Ben discussed and adjusted the plan at every consult based on my progress, and I now feel stronger in my running and confident this injury won't reoccur. Thanks Ben!
I am very thankful for my experience with Ben. He is very knowledgable, attentive and friendly and has really helped my running recovery - even only over just a few sessions. Thank you so much!
Refreshing to be treated by a health professional who digs deep to find the problem and create solutions for your wellbeing and recovery. Initial appointment included extensive assessment and advice for treatment with exercises provided by email video link alongside summary of appointment. Highly recommend Ben!
Ben was incredibly patient and honest with us when looking at how our toddler hip to knee to foot are developing. I would highly recommend Sports and Family Podiatry for children's podiatry.
I have severe inflammatory issues and psoriatic arthritis which affect both my feet and achilles tendons bilaterally. I've been seeing Ben for just over a year and he has helped tremendously. My pain levels have decreased enough for me to lead a fairly normal life now. I'd recommend Ben - he's not only (obviously) extremely knowledgeable, but he's also very compassionate and caring. I've never felt rushed and he's listened to me complain about more than just my feet!
Dr. Benjamin offered a highly professional experience at his new clinic. His expertise in foot health and proactive approach to addressing my concerns were impressive. I appreciated the personalized recommendations he provided for alleviating my foot pain. Excellent service overall.
Can't stress enough how great the service is from these guys and Ben is amazing in the level of service he offers. I have had issues for years and after 1 week I can see a huge improvement.
The most professional, knowledgeable & caring podiatrist in Brisbane! Helped my kids with school shoe insoles & sports performance insoles and exercises. Highly recommend.
Ben's been fantastic in helping the whole family with everything from feet, knees and hips. Ben is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and gives his full attention.
Could not recommend Ben enough.Pain and discomfort I was dealing with daily has almost gone all together. Amazed with the progress made in the time I have been seeing him.
