Michael’s route into podiatry began on the slopes. Working as a ski instructor and ski boot fitter showed him how much footwear and movement affect comfort. That led him to Glasgow Caledonian University, where he qualified as a podiatrist in 2014. Today he is co-owner and podiatrist at AA Podiatry, an independent practice established over 25 years ago, with clinics in Clarkston and Shettleston in Glasgow.
