Dr. Aaron’s experience competing in State Athletics, representing Australia at the World Cross Country Championships, and playing State Level for basketball have cultivated his treatment approach; being a competitive athlete he understands the stresses and rigours placed on the body due to athletic endeavors, in particular the lower extremity.
Genuine, caring, and attentive. “Like most things in life, we take our feet for granted. You will only take notice when there is a problem. Ensuring they are looked after is key to long lasting mobility and health.”
Areas of Interest: Sporting Injuries, Nail Procedures, Biomechanics, Paediatric and adolescence foot health, Clinical Podiatry, and Footwear Enthusiast. My initial experience with Podiatry came at a young age being a competitive runner and athlete struggling with foot and ankle pain. I competed in State Athletics for 10 years and represented Australia at the World Cross Country Championships in 2008 in the Czech Republic. I also played at the State Level for basketball. These experiences have cultivated my treatment approach; being a competitive athlete I understand the stresses and rigorous placed on the body due to athletic endeavors, in particular the lower extremity.
Furthermore, I understand that medical jargon can be confusing, I take the time to ensure that the rationale behind the action is explained and understood. The profession is challenging but also extremely rewarding and stimulating. The variety of patients I see, from adolescents and young children to the elderly means that each patient is unique and as such the care plan I structure is individualized and holistic. The convenience and luxury of having so many treatment modalities in one centre allows for each practitioner to address a specific facet of the issue and ensures the best treatment outcome is achieved. I am a basketball fanatic, and play regularly, as well as following the NBA and local competition. Fitness has always been a big part of my life. I also have a penchant for retro sneakers and footwear in general, bordering on obsession!
