More about the team

Dr Angus Chard PhD

Awarded a doctorate in biomechanics in 2018 with an emphasis on paediatric biomechanics by The University of Sydney (USYD), Dr Chard has more than 30 years of clinical experience and the highest academic achievement. He is deeply committed to supporting patients by matching existing evidence with clinically effective treatments.

Through his association with The University of Sydney as an honorary associate and guest lecturer within the School of Medicine and Health, Dr Chard continues to advance his research for performance and risk profiling of athletes and lower-limb therapies.

Dr Michelle Cuthbert

After receiving her education in Johannesburg, Dr Cuthbert has accumulated more than 20 years of clinical experience. As an ardent runner and the daughter of ultramarathon running parents, she has become vividly aware of the terrible debility of foot and leg pain. As a result, she is motivated to help her patients overcome these problems. She is also the proud mother of two young daughters who keep her on her toes at all times.

Dr Michael Gumatay

After experiencing chronic foot pain for the most part of his childhood, Dr Gumatay decided to pursue podiatry studies. He is now proud of his flat feet but painfully aware of how crippling leg and foot discomfort can be. He is committed to assisting others who are suffering, just as he once was, by providing a wide array of symptom-relieving podiatric therapies. He joked that now that he's a new father and a sports lover, he plans to train his son to be an amazing athlete.

Genevieve O’Brien

The smooth daily operations of our practise can be attributed to Genevieve's devotion, who always ensures that patients receive a world-class customer experience. She was a veterinary nurse for over 10 years before joining our team. When she isn't navigating this tight ship, she likes going on bushwalks with her husband and teenage daughter or snuggling up with her four cats.
