He has a genuine passion for investigating and understanding the biomechanics of the lower limb and foot and how they relate to common musculoskeletal pathologies. Laz is trained in prolotherapy, shockwave and laser therapies, SWIFT microwave therapy for warts and prescribing 3D-printed orthoses, making him well equipped to handle complex biomechanical presentations.
Current Role at Podiatry Group Melbourne: Laz brings particular expertise to the assessment and management of sports injuries and musculoskeletal foot and ankle conditions, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonopathy and biomechanical dysfunction in active patients. His understanding of paediatric foot development ensures younger patients receive thorough, age-appropriate care at every stage of growth. Laz also provides general foot care including callus removal, thickened nail management and ingrown toenail treatment ranging from conservative approaches to surgical intervention. He believes in a long-term approach to care, with equal focus on treatment and prevention. What he enjoys most is being part of the process of improving someone's quality of life through thorough assessment and considered management, seeing patients move better and stay better over time.
