Having played football for many years in the VAFA, in addition to cricket and tennis, he understands the importance of accurate sports injury diagnosis, prevention and footwear.

Paul finds helping kids very rewarding. As a young patient himself, the treatment he received as a child inspired him to become a Podiatrist—giving him a unique appreciation for the importance of early intervention and long term foot health for active children.
Having worked alongside surgeons for over a decade, Paul has a deep understanding in the advancements of foot & ankle surgery and the rehabilitation needed for best outcomes. While he is well versed in post-operative care, his expertise is often sought by his referring surgeons to explore all conservative options first.
