When Steffan Evans was a teenager with shin pain, he faced a decision that shaped the rest of his career: follow his interest in Irish dance, or pursue podiatry.
Podiatry won out. Now a podiatrist at Joint Vision, Steffan assesses and treats foot and ankle conditions.
How it started
My journey started when I was about 14 or 15 years old. I had shin pain myself, so I went down to the local podiatry university. It just looked quite interesting. It was a toss up between that or Irish music and dance, so I ended up doing podiatry instead.
As a podiatrist, I work quite inclusively with foot and ankle pathologies. It's really satisfying when you get something right.
What the work looks like
Someone comes in and they've been in pain for six or seven months, sometimes longer, and after a couple of sessions and a few tweaks, they're back to their normal activities.
I'm here to help. I've probably seen it before, and hopefully I can help you get back to normal living.
