Footpain - "corrective podiatry", "relive pain naturally" etc....are these people legitimate?

I went in search of a podiatrist after suffering pain in one foot for an extended period. I booked into the first place i found in the local directory. I arrived to find myself in a natural corrective podiatry centre as opposed to the "run of the mill" podiatrist i was expecting.
After three visits i have been given "the plan" which involves me visiting very regularly (initially 4 times a week) for at least 6 months. Obviously the costs for such a plan are very high and if i pay up-front, i can save a fair chunk (although the cost is still close to $1500 AUD). I don't have lots of money to flash around, so before i head down this path, i thought i would look for some advice from other experts or people who have been through this treatment.

You see a lot of claims like this. I have seen no evidence that it helps. Foot manipulation is a useful modality when used in conjunction with other treatments. I would not want to call it "corrective podiatry", as the vast majority of the podiatry profession probably would want to distance themselves from it.
