Catherine Kelly PodiatristMy ambition to become a Podiatrist began when I was treated by a Podiatrist as an 11 year old with ongoing heel pain. I was treated by a podiatrist with orthoses to overcome this problem, but I was really interested in this profession where I would be able to work with people and help them to achieve the goals that they had too. I was aware that whilst Podiatry is a specialised profession it is also diverse in the types of treatment that Podiatrists are able to provide. I knew the relief that my Nana had from regular visits to her Podiatrist allowed her to keep walking without being hindered by corns and callus. I completed my Bachelor of Health Science in Podiatry and returned to Christchurch to begin my career. Since that time I have broadened my knowledge by completing a Postgraduate Diploma in Sports and Exercise Medicine through Otago University. I enjoy using my practical skills and theoretical knowledge to treat each of my clients individually, customising their treatments and developing a plan which will help them achieve their goals, working alongside other health professionals when appropriate and delivering the best result in a timely manner. My aim is to get you back to your chosen activity, whether that be high level sporting endeavours or day to day life, and I am passionate about keeping people healthy and achieving their fitness goals.
