About Aaron
Aaron’s initial interest in podiatry was ignited by a history of sporting injuries. He studied at the Queensland’s University of Technology and graduated in 2013. After several years working privately, he returned to university to purse a role in teaching.
Aaron also completed a PhD, which explored the bone health status of children and adolescents with and without heel pain. His interests in paediatric podiatry extend to disability medicine, sports medicine, connective tissue presentations and rheumatological conditions.
"We aimed to identify further, and hopefully improve, treatment recommendations in order to better children and adolescent bone health."
"The best part about teaching, is helping students further develop their clinical reasoning skills... you have a glimpse of them as a future practitioner. Being a part of that process is greatly fulfilling."
Having two children of his own, Aaron has a natural ability to establish excellent rapport with children and parents alike.
"The most rewarding part of my day is making a difference to the daily lives of children and adolescents, from helping young children to walk for the first time, to enabling participation in physical activity”.
Aaron is also an avid learner and enjoys laboratory work. He manufactures custom orthoses and in-shoe modifications for his patients. His on-site custom production allows for practical and efficient turnaround times for busy families.
