Do you have bunions and think that surgery is the only answer?

Corrective Foot Solutions

Bunions affect 1 in 3 New Zealanders they can lead to pain and discomfort, which affects mobility, balance and quality of life. That’s not to mention the look of them and the difficulty of fitting shoes.

Bunions affect 1 in 3 New Zealanders they can lead to pain and discomfort, which affects mobility, balance and quality of life. That’s not to mention the look of them and the difficulty of fitting shoes.

We’ve decided to run a special offer for people with bunions - “Bunion Evaluation” for only $33 (worth $85). Offer valid 29/07/20 - 29/08/20.

Many doctors and podiatrists believe that surgery is the only way to fix a bunion. This is not true. Bunion surgery is painful and doesn’t address the underlying cause of a bunion, which is generally the way we walk and stand. Ideally, surgery should be considered as the last treatment option for bunions.

At Corrective Foot Solutions, we use a gentle, hands-on technique to effectively treat and correct bunions – which means there’s no need for surgery or orthotics. We use Foot Mobilisation Therapy to correct the underlying cause of your bunion by working on the misalignments in the foot, as well as strengthening the weakened muscles around the joints.

Pop in and see us at 272 level 3b Parnell Rd, Parnell, Auckland or give us a call on 092129250.

Hi neighbours. I'm looking to chat to some people about their religion for a project to be published in the Sunday Star-Times. The story will examine the role of religion and faith in New Zealand, and how it has changed over the last few decades.

Do you know of any unique places of worship in Auckland? Perhaps you have a special area in your home where your family meets to pray, or the way you cook and meet people is shaped by your faith? How does your faith help you through challenging times?

I'd love to hear from people of all religions - please email me a little bit about yourself at caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz if you're interested in sharing.

Hi neighbours,

Have you seen the arial photographs of the progress of construction on the major motorway project north of Auckland?

The Ōkahu Viaduct is a steel girder bridge that crosses Pūhoi Rd and Te Aqua Pūhoi.

Work is taking place near the Johnstones Hill tunnels, as part of the Ara Tūhono project that will extend the four-lane Northern Motorway (SH1) 18.5km from Pūhoi to just north of Warkworth, in a move aimed at improving road safety.

The motorway was scheduled to open at the end of 2021, but delays due to the coronavirus alert level 4 lockdown in April meant nearly five weeks of working time was lost.

Now, the new road is expected to be open in time for Queen’s Birthday weekend 2022. To read more, click here

Are you 70 or over? How did you find the Covid-19 lockdown? We believe it's important to gain views from this demographic, which was often identified in the media as being most at risk and in need of protection, yet their views and experiences during this time remain largely unknown.

A team of researchers from the University of Auckland are gathering letters from older New Zealanders about their experiences of lockdown, to inform key research about government and media responses in the event of future pandemics. Some of the letters will be acquired by Auckland Museum to record this unique period in our history for years to come.
