Shay Green
Since starting my first clinic in 1989 I have enjoyed every aspect
of podiatry. I have a particular interest in biomechanics and have
developed a special interest in treating injuries and assessing
dancers with a view to avoiding injury, especially when young dancers
move towards pointe` work. This interest is responsible for the
invention of Arch Angels, which are flexible insoles, patented in
Australia, and sought by dancers via the website from all over the
world. I enjoy the challenges of making people’s active lives
more comfortable and I find treating children is particularly rewarding.
My professional life has also been rewarding as I have had the
opportunity to contribute to the profession in a variety of ways.
I was President of the Australian Podiatry Association (Qld branch)
from 1993-2000 and in 1997 I was appointed as one of two Queensland
health representatives to the Health Rights Advisory Committee.
I have been a Board member of the Podiatrists’ Registration
Board and Member of the Medical and Allied Health Professional Group.
I am currently the National representative for Podiatry services
with a major Private Health Insurance Company.
