CERTIFIED PEDORTHIST · FOOT BALANCE TECHNOLOGY

Foot Balance Technology

Sayed Ahmed·Pedorthist

I’m Sayed Ahmed, founder and director of Foot Balance Technology and a Certified Pedorthist with a PhD in pedorthics, consulting from Wellbeing Chiropractic Campbelltown on Thursdays. My work sits where clinical practice, biomechanics, research and footwear technology meet: assessing how feet load and move, then designing custom footwear, orthoses and ankle foot orthoses to match. Diabetic foot care is my research field, and NDIS, DVA, WorkCover and private clients all come through the Campbelltown room.

Sayed Ahmed - Pedorthist at Wellbeing Chiropractic Campbelltown

Wellbeing CampbelltownThursdays

PhD in pedorthics

Southern Cross University, 2023, on footwear and insoles for people at high risk of plantar forefoot ulceration.

Certified Pedorthist Australia

C Ped AU since 2011 and Certified Pedorthist Custom Maker (C Ped CM Au) since 2015.

10 years as a pedorthist

Assessment, biomechanics and the design and fabrication of custom medical footwear and orthotics.

NDIS, DVA, WorkCover & private health

NDIS assistive technology provider and DVA-approved medical grade footwear supplier.

Who comes to Foot Balance Technology

Complex & diabetic feet

High-risk diabetic feet, deformity and post-operative recovery, where footwear and offloading are part of the medical plan.

Foot pain, instability & mobility

Adults and children whose feet make walking, working or standing hard, from simple presentations to highly complex cases.

Funded clients

NDIS participants, DVA clients, workers compensation and aged care clients who need assessed and fitted footwear or orthoses.

A structured foot assessment comes first: identifying the underlying cause of discomfort, instability or mobility problems before any device is made. Foot Balance Technology also brings together podiatrists, physiotherapists, occupational health professionals and footwear technicians, so assessment, treatment and fabrication are coordinated in one care model.

From footwear technology to a doctorate in pedorthics

My interest in engineering, mechanics and problem-solving began in Bangladesh, where I completed a Bachelor of Science in Footwear Technology. In 2009 I moved to Australia to train in pedorthics at the Australian School of Pedorthics and Pro-Learn Pedorthics School, becoming a Certified Pedorthist Australia in 2011 and a Certified Pedorthist Custom Maker in 2015.

In late 2023 I completed a PhD at Southern Cross University, which I understand makes me Australia’s first doctoral-qualified pedorthist. The research looked at diabetic foot care, specifically footwear and insole interventions for people at high risk of plantar forefoot ulceration, and it feeds directly into how I assess and prescribe today.

Foot Balance Technology has clinics at Castle Hill and Westmead, and I consult from Wellbeing Chiropractic Campbelltown on Thursdays.

Address the cause, not only the symptom

Every plan starts with a foot assessment that combines clinical examination with advanced assessment techniques, so the device we make matches the biomechanics behind the problem rather than covering it up.

From there the options include medical grade footwear, custom made footwear and foot orthoses, ankle foot orthoses, footwear modifications, post-operative footwear and specialised socks, including bamboo diabetic socks, compression socks and socks for amputated feet. Referrals are welcome but not required.

“Restoring movement and preventing deterioration means treating the biomechanical cause of foot pain, not only managing symptoms.”

Questions patients ask

No. Referrals from GPs, podiatrists, physiotherapists and specialists are welcome, but you can book a foot assessment directly.

A structured assessment of how your feet load and move, using clinical examination and advanced assessment techniques, followed by a plan that may include footwear, orthoses or modifications.

Pressure under the forefoot is a major cause of ulceration in high-risk diabetic feet, and the right footwear and insoles offload it. This was the subject of my PhD research.

Thursdays, at Wellbeing Chiropractic Campbelltown, 20 King Street. Call 1300 246 328 or enquire through the Foot Balance Technology website.

Custom shoes and orthoses are made to your assessment, so timeframes are confirmed at the appointment once the design is agreed.
