Paul Studart – Practice Owner & Founder
Hello, I’m Paul Studart, owner and founder of Locksbottom Podiatry, which I established in 1990.
For over 30 years, our aim has remained the same: to provide professional, high-quality podiatry in a friendly, caring and respectful environment. We believe every patient should feel listened to, treated as an individual and given clear, honest advice about their foot health.
Our experienced team of podiatrists provide comprehensive assessment, treatment and management for a wide range of foot and lower-limb conditions, including routine problems through to more complex, persistent and challenging cases. We take an individual, evidence-based approach to help relieve symptoms, improve function and mobility, and support your long-term foot health.
At Locksbottom Podiatry, we believe that where a condition can be treated, our aim is to provide appropriate treatment and advice to help you recover. Where a problem cannot be completely resolved, we will work with you to manage your symptoms and improve your comfort, mobility and quality of life.
