Glen Foley

Podiatrist and Biomechanic Specialist

Glen qualified from the University of Brighton in 2003 with a Bsc (Hons) in Podiatry. Over the 20 years since qualifying Glen has accrued a wealth of experience and knowledge across the field of Podiatry, specialising in Podiatric Biomechanics. Glen worked within the NHS for six years, dealing with all areas of podiatry and specialising in MSK, helping in the development of the Clinical Assessment team later use as a template for the current MSK triage teams. On leaving the NHS he embarked on a role with the Ministry of Defence at ‘The Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre Headley Court’. Glen has been privileged to work with all branches of the Armed Forces, including SAS, SBS and the elite athletes representing the services nationally and internationally in varied sports. A percentage of this work was the rehabilitation of service personnel injured in conflicts abroad, which was both challenging and hugely rewarding. To be able to apply the knowledge and skills of the job, which he enjoys immensely to such a clinically diverse and complex patient group, improving their quality of life and expediting recovery was an extremely humbling experience. Alongside his position at DMRC Headley Court, Glen lectured on the undergraduate BSC (Hons) Podiatry course at the University of Brighton, a position he still holds alongside lecturing on the MSC course. He is often lecturing across the country on Podiatric biomechanics and has been a keynote speaker at the National and European Podiatry Conference. Glen has a keen interest in running injuries and worked for two years with the British Athletics medical team. His role consisted of injury rehabilitation and screening to ensure athletes were able return to optimal performance as quickly as possible. His love of sport brought him to be involved with the London Marathon for several years in a supervisory role overseeing the podiatry medical team on the finish line. Glen is currently concentrating on building a multidisciplinary approach to his private practices, along the Headley Court model of care, with a keen interest in exercise rehabilitation.
