Alexandra Sanders Joins Podiatry First
Podiatry First welcomes Alexandra Sanders to their busy Ponsonby team. Alexandra has a strong background in sports and biomechanical podiatry. “I’m looking forward to working in Ponsonby, it has such a strong local identity and I have built strong professional relationships with other local health providers”. Alex is a three time Ironman competitor and will be lining up again at the start of Ironman New Zealand in March 2011.
“Some of my favourite clients are those that are just taking up running or other activities for the first time. I know how daunting it can be to undertake a training programme when everyone else seems so fit and fast! It’s great to be able to help clients achieve their goals whether they are an elite athlete or someone just wanting to improve their health by running a couple of times a week.”
Alex’s other key area of interest is children’s feet. “Sometimes those little niggles we refer to as growing pains can actually be more complex disorders. I’ve had patients who haven’t even been able to play with their friends at lunch time because of the pain in their feet. However, often with the correct diagnosis and a relatively simple treatment plan, we can have them back to playing with their friends and returning to sports in a short period of time.”
