Case Study 14: 2nd Metatarsal Stress Fracture

Geoffrey Dowling Graduated with a Bachelor in Prosthetics and Orthotics in 2010 after graduating he realised that his passion was in problems associated with the foot, ankle and lower limb. He then completed a Masters in Podiatry publishing a systematic review that investigated foot function and its risk to lower limb overuse injury. After graduating Geoff has spent a number of years with the Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Surgeon Mr William Edwards where he assisted fellow Orthotist Paul Retschko with post operatively managing patients as well as conservatively managing foot and ankle problems that were unable to be successfully managed elsewhere. In addition to his Orthotic and Podiatry degrees, Geoff has also completed further study with a certificate in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound and bespoke shoe making. With his wealth of knowledge and experience from working with Will Edwards and his passion for continued learning Geoff is able to provide the latest treatment options with the aim to provide the best outcome for his patients.
