Some questions we asked Luke!

What inspired you to get into this field of work?

I first thought about Podiatry as a career whilst working in a ski boot shop in-between competitive ski racing seasons. This is where I was introduced to custom insoles and the benefits they offered, both for comfort and competitive reasons. Having had many sporting injuries myself, injury rehabilitation was always an area that I was interested in and I loved learning about biomechanics.

How do you keep active?

Running after my child keeps me fairly active!

Outside of this I enjoy cycling, running and skiing when I get the chance.

What do you do outside of work?

I love going on driving holidays with my friends and exploring new areas. I enjoy watching the formula 1, playing pool every week and spending time with my family.

Tell us a fun fact about yourself?

I previously skied for England and did the third largest bungee jump in the world, whilst training in New Zealand.
