Cameron Palmer

Sports Podiatrist / Director

Cameron’s passion for podiatry lies in the philosophy of keeping people on their feet, so they can look after the rest of their body and mind. He is one of only three podiatrists in Auckland with a postgraduate sports medicine diploma, and firmly believes in a holistic approach — “the foot can affect the upper body and the upper body can affect the foot”. He prides himself on isolating the cause of your injury and tailoring a specific treatment plan, drawing on footwear advice, orthotic therapy, stretching, strengthening, strapping/bracing, gait technique changes and activity modification. Cameron has had an active life playing rugby, cricket and running half marathons.
