Growing up in Port Lincoln and spending most of his life on the Lower Eyre Peninsula, Bernard Pienaar has always appreciated the strong sense of community that makes our region special.
After beginning his career in community health – including managing the podiatry department within the regional local health network – Bernard returned to the EP in 2018 with a focus on delivering high-quality podiatry care to the community that helped shape him.
In 2023, that commitment became your.LOCAL Podiatrist, a clinic grounded to meet the needs of the community.
Now located at Unit 3/1 Bel Air Drive, Port Lincoln, the clinic offers a welcoming, professional space where your foot health is the priority.
With a genuine understanding of regional lifestyles – from long workdays on your feet to busy sporting commitments – your.LOCAL Podiatrist provides evidence-based care tailored to the realities of your lifestyle.
A key part of the service includes custom orthotics, manufactured locally, to ensure precision, comfort and fast turnaround times.
The clinic is also proud to offer EMS Dolorclast Radial Shockwave Therapy, an internationally recognised, non-invasive treatment proven effective for stubborn conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy and long-standing soft-tissue pain.
This therapy supports faster healing and helps you return to work, sport and daily life sooner.
Services further include sports podiatry and rehabilitation for active individuals, as well as comprehensive diabetic and general foot care to support long-term health and mobility.
For more immediate concerns, your.LOCAL Podiatrist provides podiatric nail surgery and treatment for painful or persistent foot problems.
While the clinic is based in Port Lincoln, the team’s commitment extends across Eyre Peninsula, providing outreach services to Tumby Bay, Cummins, Cleve and Whyalla – ensuring high-quality podiatry remains accessible for regional families.
At your.LOCAL Podiatrist, you are not just visiting a clinic – you are building a connection with a team who understands what it means to live, work and support the community.
