Laura Grier (Laura Rabjohns)
Currently on Maternity Leave
Podiatrist – BHlthSc (Podiatry)
Laura has a background encompassing all aspects of podiatric practice, with a particular passion for complex biomechanical cases, human movement and toenail surgery.
Prior to opening Performance Podiatry Sydney in 2013, Laura spent three years operating in the Sydney CBD as head podiatrist at a large multi-disciplinary practice. This involved working with physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists and Pilates to achieve the best possible care for her clients. The case load of patients here was largely biomechanical and this was where she fine-tuned her orthotic prescription to suit the needs of the weekend warriors she was treating. It was here that Laura did additional training in dry needling and began to develop an interest in Radial Shockwave Therapy for the treatment of soft tissue injuries such as Plantar Fasciitis.
