Originally from Adelaide, Alex completed his high school and undergraduate Podiatry degrees in Melbourne before moving to Canberra to work under 3 x Olympic Medical Team Podiatrist Paul Fleet. During 4 years of mentorship he also completed the Australian Podiatry Association course in Podiatry biomechanics and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Sports and Exercise Medicine through the University of Otago Medical School, which he was awarded with Distinction, the highest honor conferred by the University. After completing his mentorship and further studies, Alex developed a special interest in managing complex and chronic conditions. This led him to studying the fields of neurology, immunology, the science of pain, rehabilitation and strength and conditioning. This prompted Alex to create a unique way of practicing that focuses on each patient as an individual and developing a rehabilitation plan based on their goals and current abilities. In addition to his clinical work, Alex is the founder and director of Podiatry Systems, an Australian based Podiatry education company, lectures to national and international audiences and helps create social media education content for the UK-based Better Clinician Project. A previous volleyballer and martial artist, you’ll now find Alex in a gym, out running or in the cheese aisle of his local deli.
