Please note: My practice is focusing exclusively on MSK (musculoskeletal) conditions of the foot and ankle, sports injuries, and ACC-related cases. I am currently not accepting new patients for nail or skin treatments.
MSK (musculoskeletal) foot conditions include issues like heel pain, planter fasciitis, tendon injuries, joint pain, overuse injuries, and biomechanical problems.
At FootFocus Podiatry we understand the importance of movement. Being active, setting fitness goals or being involved in sport on a social or high level is a big part of the Kiwi lifestyle. Our feet and lower limbs are exposed to a lot of the injuries and pressure that can be associated with this.
We treat all sports-related or overuse injuries and concerns of the feet and lower limbs. We cover all ages from children to the active older person, the serious athlete to the weekend warrior and are focusing on working with you to achieve your goals.
Entering the profession over 27 years ago, Wendy has worked extensively in the areas of sports injury and lifestyle foot care areas. She has completed a Sports Podiatry qualification through Podiatry NZ and has gained a greater understanding in areas of rehab and Biomechanics. She is particularly interested in rehabilitation, improving foot function and post-surgical cases, as well as sports injuries in adults and children.
Getting people back on their feet is a primary focus. As an active sports person, she understands the desire to continue with activity throughout injury and her treatments are shaped around keeping active while rehabilitating.
Wendy has 3 children who are all active in various sports including Netball, Hockey, running and swimming. She enjoys swimming, cycling and mountain biking.
