John Mamis

John is originally from Sydney and made the switch over to Adelaide to work in a musculoskeletal podiatry clinic. 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.

John is a Western Sydney University graduate and when he’s not in the clinic he’s either watching soccer or UFC, keeping active, trying new eateries or exploring his new Adelaide city!
