Ian is a specialist podiatrist. He spent five years as a battlefield medic in the British Army working in Elite and Special Forces, where he became experienced in treating lower limb injuries in many fields of operation. After completing a degree in medicine for the lower limb (Podiatry), Ian worked in the NHS and subsequently with the UK’s leading biomechanics technologies company as its principal clinician and orthotics consultant. Here he helped pioneer the use of gait analysis technologies, and specifically the interpretation of foot pressure and video imaging. Ian now runs a private biomechanics and gait analysis clinic in Norwich, Norfolk. He lectures on biomechanics and gait analysis, both in local academic institutions and worldwide. As a consultant to several orthotic and international training footwear manufacturers, he helps to ensure that trainers and orthotics ‘do what they say on the tin’. His real passion, however, is helping to improve the quality of life for those 80% of the population suffering as a result of poor lower limb biomechanics.
