Staff Profile

Melanie Healey

Mel-Healey

Chartered Physiotherapist

I trained as a Podiatrist at the University of Southampton, and graduated in 1994. I set up immediately in Private Practice.

I treat amateur and professional sportsmen and have been involved in the management of military personnel for the past 8 years, mainly soldiers from the REME headquarters at Arborfield, and the Royal Marines in Poole.

I see a large number of children with foot and lower limb conditions, many of whom are involved in sport and dance, as well as the slightly less energetic!!

I have recently started doing one clinic a week as a Clinical Specialist for the NHS, which has added another dimension to my clinical experience.

Areas of expertise/interest

My special interest is the biomechanics of the foot and ankle. I treat a wide age range of people from 3 - 93!! I work as part of a multi disciplinary team, alongside Consultants, Sports Medicine specialists, Physiotherapists and many other healthcare professionals.
