Aaron Jackson BHSc (Hons) (Podiatry)
I decided on a career as a podiatrist due to an interest helping people find solutions to their problems and pains. As a runner myself I have a particular interest in biomechanics, this may be in elite athletes or casual walkers or anywhere in between. I am currently working out of the Papakura clinic and dealing with a wide range of patients with a wide range of complaints. After graduating in Podiatry I completed the honours program at AUT in Auckland. During the postgraduate study I developed a particular interest in research and holistic patient based rehabilitation. I compete regularly in Athletics, Cross-country and Mountain Running. I have been fortunate enough to travel over to Europe several times for this in the NZ team and compete with athletes from all over the world. I also play soccer and golf socially.

Welcome

Thank you for choosing to see a Foot Mechanics Podiatrist. We have prepared this information to make you feel welcome at our clinic. Firstly we want you to know that your feet are in good hands. Podiatrists are registered health professionals and are the experts in lower limb health. You should feel free to ask questions at any stage during your visit to see us, we are here to help you.

A consultation with a Foot Mechanics Podiatrist will always start with a discussion with you. In medical terms we call this history taking and this helps us understand the background, and context to the problem you want help with. Once we understand what you want help with the Podiatrist will do an assessment. The assessment enables the Podiatrist to understand the medical background to your problem, the Podiatrist will explain the findings to you, and you are welcome to ask any questions so that you understand.

The Podiatrist will explain the treatment plan with you and in most cases treatment can start today. Again ask any question you may have. Thanks again, and we look forward to helping you.
