Podiatrist
I graduated from Cardiff University in 2001, with a BSc (Hons) degree in Podiatric Medicine, since then I have worked within the NHS working in Bath & North East Somerset, Salisbury Swindon, Pembrokeshire. I have specialised in high-risk diabetes foot disease as well as a short spell in private practice. My time in the NHS has consisted of working in both acute and community care, helping to facilitate the flow of patients through the system, ensuring patients receive the best and appropriate care for their needs. I was fortunate to be part of multidisciplinary teams, which led to a reduction in amputation rates within the Southwest.
My aim is to bring the experience and expertise I have gained over the past 22 years to my private practice to facilitate the best care possible for my clients.

Registered Osteopath
Geraint’s passion for musculoskeletal healthcare began after he suffered a shoulder injury whilst representing the Scarlets West Under 16’s team. He decided to visit his local osteopath to help with his shoulder rehabilitation, and from that moment on, it was his dream to become an osteopath!
In June 2021, Geraint graduated with a Masters Degree from the prestigious Swansea University. During his time there, he discovered that an evidence-based approach to musculoskeletal issues with a strong consideration of biomechanics and anatomy suited his personal beliefs.
A combination of experience in a range of different sports and a high level of education has allowed him to gain knowledge and expertise that he is eager to share with people in his home county of Pembrokeshire. He focusses on optimising athletic performance and encouraging pain-free movement by using a variety of techniques.
In my spare time, he can either be found surfing/paddleboarding in the sea or exercising in the gym
