Sports Podiatrist

John Osborne is a credentialled sports and musculoskeletal podiatrist with a PhD that centred on the therapeutic use of foot and ankle exercise in plantar heel pain. Clinically, he treats adults with chronic and acute musculoskeletal conditions with an interest in treating adults with hypermobility spectrum related disorders. His approach is patient centred, combining evidence with individual experience.

John’s research work spans evidence synthesis, biomechanical and laboratory-based studies, and applied clinical research, with the aim of improving how exercise is prescribed, measured, and translated into meaningful outcomes. He has particular interests in chronic pain and musculoskeletal conditions, and in addressing methodological gaps in the measurement and reporting of foot and ankle strength and function. His research is informed by clinical practice and seeks to bridge exercise science and podiatry to support evidence-based care.

John works at Physiosports in Brighton and Pursue Health in Highett. Bookings can be made online at https://shorturl.at/NZNlo or by calling Physiosports on 03 9596 9110 or Pursue Health on 03 9131 4977.
