Steve is one of the few full-time musculo-skeletal specialist podiatrists in the UK. He graduated in 1988 from Plymouth Podiatry School. He was instrumental in helping to develop the field of musculo-skeletal podiatry into the separate specialism it is today.
Steve helped co-design a range of very successful customisable foot orthotic devices used worldwide, for Healthy Step orthotic manufacturers.
About 14 years ago Steve had an epiphany moment where he realised the significance of natural gait to foot & lower-limb health. Since then his focus in treatment is to restore optimal function of the joints, muscles & fascia of the foot & lower-limb, from the toes to the spine. Rehabilitation using stretches & strengthening exercises is an integral aspect his work to restore patients to full function.
He is passionate about helping people regain their lifestyles by helping them to stand, walk & run painlessly.
Steve likes to promote good foot-health as a foundation for general health because they help us to stay active! As part of his commitment to promoting overall health he founded Helston Health Walks in September 2009.
Steve is a member of Healthy Feet Alliance.
In his spare time Steve enjoys walking along the gorgeous cliff paths around Cornwall, particularly near his home on the Lizard peninsula
