Meet the Colne Valley, Huddersfield and Tameside teams

Our Clinic owner Matthew graduated in 2005 and has since launched three clinics in Marsden the town centre of Huddersfield, and Tameside. With over 15 years’ experience, Matthew has a passion for providing high quality health care and building a team who instils these same values.

In conjunction with the University of Huddersfield we have created a successful mentorship program which allows graduates to join our team and build on their capability whilst working alongside our experienced Podiatrists.

Our mentorship program focuses on CPD and building patient centre relationships that allows the graduates to grow as part of our team.

As well as our multi-chaired clinics, our services have extended outside of Routine Podiatry. We have a zest for bringing the latest evidence-based treatments and helping our patients achieve results from our treatment plans. This includes Swift Microwave Therapy, K•Laser and Shockwave Therapy.  Biomechanical Assessments are also a huge part of our practice, we carry out a full examination, which investigates the function and alignment of the lower limb.

Matthew, the practice owner has over 15 years’ experience. From starting out visiting homes, he has since opened three clinics and grown a business that has coverage throughout the whole of Kirklees.
Never taking his finger of the pulse, Matthew thrives from delivering the latest technology into clinic. As a result, continually improving the standard of care. Passionate about providing the best patient experience, Matthew has instilled this throughout his team. On the rare occasion he is not in clinic you will find him on a cricket field, at a football match or out and about with his family.
