Sophie graduated from Monash University with a Bachelor of Biomedical Science in 2013 and went on to complete her Masters in Podiatry Practice in 2016. During that time, she worked across both the public and private health sectors before joining Highett Podiatry in 2017.

Sophie has also undertaken training in taping, dry needling, as well as time spent at the Australian Ballet in workshops focused on the lower limb and pre-pointe.

Sophie’s keen interest in biomechanics and running was established whist studying Biomedical Science which then led her into the specialised field podiatry.

Outside of her podiatry work, you won’t see Sophie sitting down much! In her spare time she will be outdoors, camping, skiing, cycling or traveling the world.

Kirsti, established Highett Podiatry in 1997 and has grown her podiatric practice to incorporate many aspects of podiatry.

Although, running is not personally Kirsti’s thing, a worldwide pandemic, called Covid did strange things. Kirsti decided to get on the treadmill herself and took up running, or should we call it shuffling?

With many years of experience in gait analysis and injury diagnosis and management, Kirsti loves the challenge of a difficult chronic injury.

Kirsti has done further training in “dry needling”, manual therapies training, taping and ‘shockwave therapy.”

When Kirsti isn’t in the clinic, you’ll find her down the beach with her dogs or getting away with her partner Jason in their camper trailer.
