Orthopaedic Podiatrist
Chris Parish is nationally renowned for his expertise as an Orthopaedic Podiatrist. He specialised in the field of biomechanics (the science of walking and posture) from the very beginning of his career at Stockport Health Authority where he was promoted to the most senior clinical position in 1987, just one year after qualifying.
During his time at Stockport, Chris was instrumental in the development of the biomechanics service by training staff and developing skills of colleagues within the department.
Chris Parish’s pioneering approach is based on over 23 years of specialist experience, both in the NHS and Private Practice. He is constantly updating his methods of treatment. Only one year after qualifying in 1986, he pioneered the children’s biomechanics service in his NHS District which he ran for three years. During this time he successfully negotiated a joint foot clinic with a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Wythenshawe Hospital – the first of its kind.
Chris trained other Podiatrists throughout the NHS District so the children’s biomechanics service could continue to expand to provide clinics throughout the area and when Chris left the NHS in 1992 there were twenty clinics successfully providing treatment for the under sixteens.
In 1992 he left the Health Service to develop his rapidly expanding private practice. Due to his reputation, Chris receives many referrals from both Orthopaedic and Podiatric Surgeons, Doctors, other Podiatrists, Physiotherapists and Chiropodists throughout the country. He is often called upon to run training seminars for Doctors, Podiatrists, Physiotherapists and Chiropodists and is frequently asked for advice and second opinions by both colleagues and patients themselves. He has been invited to lecture in both the USA and Europe, has published articles and is now a member of BackCare (the National Association for Healthy Backs).
Chris Parish has also been privileged to treat players from:
Manchester United Development Team,
Bowdon Cricket, Squash & Hockey Club.
He is also one of the founder members of The Podiatric Biomechanics Group in the UK. The group negotiated and devised a Masters Degree in Clinical Podiatric Biomechanics and Chris was one of the first twenty people in the country to be accepted.
