Meet the team

Cameron Palmer

Sports Podiatrist / Director

BHSc Podiatry (AUT), Post Grad. Dip. Sports Medicine (Otago), Sports Pod. NZ Accredited, NZ Registered, ACC Registered, Pod. NZ Member

Cameron's passion lies in keeping people on their feet so they can look after the rest of their body and mind. One of only three podiatrists in Auckland with a post-graduate sports-medicine diploma, he firmly believes the foot can affect the upper body and vice versa. He prides himself on isolating the cause of an injury and tailoring a specific plan — footwear advice, orthotic therapy, stretching, strengthening, strapping, gait changes and activity modification. Cameron has lived an active life playing rugby, cricket and running half marathons.

Brittany Malzard

Sports Podiatrist

BHSc Podiatry (AUT)

Brittany has always had a passion for sport and biomechanics, which laid the foundations for her career as a podiatrist. Keeping mobile and active is an important part of life, and her goal in podiatry is to get you back on your feet doing what you love.
