Podiatrists

Hi my name is Lisa and I am Director and Podiatrist of Podiatry Point!

Podiatry Point started in 2001 when I purchased, the business then known as Nerylie Whitecross Podiatry, from Nerylie and changed the name to Podiatry Point.

My passion began at University whilst studying a Bachelor Applied Science, Podiatry and continues each and everyday with providing my clients with the care they need. This means that if I realise there is a gap I my knowledge I am keen to fill it as quickly as possible.

I love to travel and prefer places that are off the beaten track. When travelling I like to challenge myself by doing a trek or bike ride. These challenges keep me motivated and provide a great sense of achievement.

When I’m not at the Podiatry Point you’ll find me outside cycling, running or hiking through the bush. I must admit I love a good coffee and you might find me catching up with friends over a cappuccino.

One of my greatest pleasures at the moment is being able to introduce our love of adventure with my children; and at the moment they still think my ideas are pretty cool!

My mission in life is to help people to realise their dreams. There is nothing more satisfying than helping someone achieve something they didn’t think was possible, whether that is trekking a mountain on holidays, running a race, riding a bike hundreds of kilometres or simply going to the shops without their feet and legs slowing them down.

Nancy graduated with a Bachelor of Podiatry in 2018 from Queensland University of Technology. She was inspired to become a podiatrist as a teenager working in a local podiatry clinic and, which exposed her to different ways a podiatrist could make a difference in someone’s life.

She enjoys helping people achieve their personal health goals – whether you’re wanting to get back into exercise, running your third marathon or taking action to walk pain free for the first time in years. Her main professional interests are managing lower limb injuries and finding orthotic solutions for complex biomechanical problems.

Nancy is passionate about fitness and believes in encouraging people to be active participants in their own health journey.

In her spare time, you’ll find her at Cross-fit, running and Pilates. Nancy’s goal for 2020 is to train for the Gold Coast Half Marathon.

I have returned to my hometown Toowoomba after working in Darwin for the past five years. In Darwin i had worked both in Private practice and in aboriginal remote communities providing podiatric care.
I have extensive experience in all facets of podiatry. My special interests in podiatry include:
- Dermatology - Master Diploma of dermatology UK
- Scheduled Medicines, prescribe medications
-Prolotherapy for acute and chronic pain management
-Lymphedema, currently completing a lymphatic drainage certificate from Australian institute of Lymphedema.
-Photo biomodulation for acute and chronic pain management
- Extracorporeal Shockwave for acute and chronic pain management.
- Biomechanics and orthotic prescription.
I love to go camping, jet skiing, boating and spending time with my children. Evidence based practice is always my priority, so I also love to read, listen to podcasts and study so that my patients have access to the best available evidence-based treatment.
