about us

Robert Bloxsom PGDip; DPodM; MChS

Director and Principal Podiatrist

Robert qualified in 1989 from Plymouth School of Podiatry. He initially worked for the NHS in Leicester for 12 years, whilst also running a private practice in Loughborough. During this period, he gained experience in different aspects of podiatry: general skin care and dermatology; care of the 'high risk' foot, particularly in patients with diabetes; nail surgery and other minor surgical soft tissue procedures.

It was during this period that he became particularly interested in lower limb biomechanics and musculoskeletal and has become highly skilled in prescribing custom-made orthoses.

He returned to Devon in 2000, continuing to work for the NHS as a musculoskeletal specialist podiatrist. 

He more recently gained a post-graduate diploma in Musculoskeletal Studies at Cardiff Metropolitan University.
