Lara Kolar – Podiatrist

About Lara

Lara Kolar is a podiatrist with Footwise Podiatry Group, the Lower Plenty-founded practice that has been caring for local feet since 2009. She completed a Bachelor of Applied Science and a Master of Podiatry at La Trobe University.

Lara takes a holistic and personalised approach to every treatment plan and enjoys all aspects of podiatry – from biomechanics and diabetes foot care through to general foot care. She places a strong emphasis on patient education, so you understand what is causing your symptoms and what you can do to look after your feet between visits.

What Lara can help with

• Heel and arch pain
• Biomechanics and gait
• Orthotics
• Sports injuries
• Diabetes foot assessments and care
• Ingrown toenails
• Fungal nails
• Corns and calluses
• Children’s feet
• General foot care

Your first appointment

Lara will ask about your symptoms, health history, activity and footwear, then assess your feet and the way you walk. She will explain her findings in plain language and work with you on a plan that suits your goals, whether that is hands-on care, exercises, footwear changes or orthotics.

Fees, rebates and referrals

No referral is needed. Podiatry is claimable with most private health funds under extras cover, and HICAPS is available on-site. If you have a GP Chronic Disease Management (EPC) plan, mention it when booking and reception will confirm how it applies.

Part of the Bodyline Health team

Lara works alongside Footwise director Ceyda Hart and our chiropractor, physiotherapist and myotherapist, so foot, knee, hip and back concerns can be looked at together under one roof. Read more on our Podiatry in Lower Plenty page.
