History 

Body Care Solutions was established in 2008. Starting out in Prahran, Body Care Solutions was was the first fitter in Australia to offer Retul, a bicycle fitting service using real-time 3D motion capture technology.  Clinical orthotic services were offered soon after and a loyal patient base evolved.
In 2010 the clinical orthotic services moved to Carlisle St, St Kilda and the Bicycle Fitting operated from a bike shop on St Kilda Rd. With a growing clientele, and the booming cycling culture in Melbourne, a decision was made to increase the bicycle fitting from just a weekend service. 
In 2012 Body Care Solutions moved to Park St in South Melbourne. The clinical orthotic services were combined with Podiatry to provide complete foot and lower limb care. Body Care Solutions has a full orthotic work shop on site, so can manufacture some orthotics in-house, which enables control in every step of the process. The bike fitting service has expanded to offer evening appointments on weekdays, and Podiatry is now available 5 days per week.

In May 2019 Andrew & Kim made the big decision to move the clinic and focus solely on the Podiatry aspect of the business, A new name 'Melbourne Family & Sports Podiatry' matches a new and beautiful location within The Ethos Centre, situated among the hustle and bustle of Cecil street, right near the South Melbourne Market.
