Lachlan is a qualified podiatrist, having graduated from Charles Sturt University in 2010 with a Bachelor of Health Science, Podiatry. During his training, Lachlan undertook a number of placements throughout Australia, gaining extensive experience in private clinics, public hospitals and community health centres. As a member of the Australian Podiatry Association, Lachlan is involved in continuous professional development and regularly attends education events. Lachlan’s skills have been recognised by many and his research has been published in the Journal of Foot and Ankle Research. Since graduating, Lachlan has worked in a number of diverse roles, from running the podiatry department in a small rural hospital to more recently working in a major Adelaide hospital dealing with limb-threatening ulcerations and the prevention of amputations. Lachlan’s interest in podiatry stems from his personal experience with a number of lower limb issues that prevented him from participating in sport, and as such he understands firsthand what it is like to deal with pain resulting from foot and ankle injuries. Adopting a highly personalised approach to the needs of each of his patients, Lachlan utilises a number of treatment modalities including taping, exercises, dry needling, foot mobilisation, footwear advice/modification, orthotic inserts and education. Striving to provide a model of care that is holistic and incorporates total foot care, Lachlan also has special interests in the management of diabetes-related foot issues and sports podiatry.
