He works with patients of all ages and activity levels, from children and active adults through to athletes and those managing chronic foot pain or mobility issues. Zac has particular interests in biomechanics, sports injuries, lower limb pain, orthotic therapy, ingrown toenail surgery, rehabilitation, and preventative foot health care.
