About Us

Extra Mile Podiatry was founded by Gemma Parsons and it will be Gemma that you will see at every appointment.

Gemma received an honours degree in Podiatric Medicine from the National University of Ireland, Galway in 2017.

Gemma is experienced in sporting and muscular skeletal concerns having worked many years specialising in these areas.

Gemma is an expert in dance podiatry and spent four years catering to the needs of Queensland Ballet as well as professional Irish and Contemporary dancers.

Gemma is a self proclaimed running geek and an accredited running coach. One of her great passions in her career is building return to run programmes after diagnosing and treating patients. She is passionate about movement and when possible keeps patients active throughout their treatment.

Gemma treats her patients holistically, if she feels in addition to podiatry you will benefit from additional  practitioners being involved in your care she will refer you to experts that she trusts.

Presentations:

Gemma spoke on national Irish radio 2FM promoting Podiatry as a profession.

Gemma has given multiple presentations to professional and student Ballet dancers as well as to their physiotherapy teams.
