Michael Johnston BSc (Podiatry)
Michael joined the Foot Mechanics team in Hamilton in April 2010 as a Senior podiatrist bringing with him a range of experiences from places such as Bermuda, Singapore, London and his native Scotland. Michael has a passion for paediatrics and sports medicine which really suits the type of work coming through the Anglesea Clinic. He has always been a keen sportsman and has represented Scotland at basketball. I graduated from Edinburgh in 2002 and have always had a passion for working with athletes and helping them get back to peak performance using a variety of treatment modalities such as orthotics, acupuncture, manipulations, strapping and exercise. I am very happy to be here in New Zealand and especially joining the team here at Anglesea Sports Medicine and look forward to exploring the country, especially the mountain bike trails and ski fields!”

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.
