About Us

Situated in Adelaide’s premier medical district, we provide solutions to your current heel problems with our experienced team. We are also strong believers that prevention is better than cure.

John Mamis

As a kid, John participated in numerous sporting activities such as soccer and basketball to name a few. From playing soccer over the past 20 years, John accumulated reoccurring sporting injuries which set him back from playing and watching from the sidelines. This ignited a passion for wanting to become a podiatrist where he could diagnose, treat & prevent reoccurring sporting injuries.
Active recovery is something John has a firm belief about in assisting patients achieving their goals. He likes to achieve this via having a close practitioner patient relationship as he likes to keep up to date in patient’s progress week by week.
John has a strong passion for adjunct therapies as he likes to learn various treatment alternatives to increase his scope of practice. This consists of multiple modalities including dry needling, shockwave therapy, orthotic prescription, foot mobilization & providing foot and nail care.
