Emily has experience in all types of lower limb injuries related to an active lifestyle. She has a special interest in heel pain (including plantar fasciitis), Achilles tendinopathy, shin pain, fashionable footwear and running injuries. Emily has a contemporary approach to podiatric assessment and management and believes the key to resolving injuries includes a progressive management plan consisting of unloading of the tissue, activation and strengthening of the weak muscle groups, and improvement of function with footwear and orthotics.
