Sarah Newman - Podiatrist

SARAH NEWMAN - Director

With nearly 30 years of experience in Podiatry and more than 20 years in the Ryde area, Sarah is an experienced professional who strives to address all of your lower limb and foot concerns with tailored and evidence based approach. One treatment definitely does not fit all!

Sarah graduated with a Bachelor of Health Science in Podiatry at Western Sydney University and later completed a Master of Public Health/Master of Health Management at UNSW giving a broader understanding of health in the community.

She has been involved in Podiatry education and employed as a clinical supervisor at the University of Western Sydney.

With a belief in continual improvement, she has completed further training in soft tissue techniques that vastly improves patient outcomes for common foot problems, especially heel pain, arch pain and shin splints.

She enjoys all aspects of Podiatry care, but has a special interest in women's foot pain that occurs during hormonal changes in life (pregnancy, peri-menopause and menopause). She loves to see patients through their entire treatment cycle – starting with the initial presentation of pain to improving function, and then following their progress carefully to help maintain their pain free state over time.

Need a second opinion? With Sarah's wealth of experience you can feel assured that your treatment can be assessed and other treatment options recommended where required.

When not working, Sarah has two young boys that keep her busy with extra-curricular activities like soccer, running and cricket.
