Paul Graham is an Australian podiatrist who has been in private practice since 1987 with a
special interest in musculoskeletal conditions. He was awarded a Fellow of the Australasian Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine in 1999 and in 2003 an Honorary Affiliate of the School of Human Biosciences at Latrobe University in Melbourne Australia.
As a member of the Australian Pain Society and the Australasian Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine the focus of his practice has always been on comprehensive, evidence based examination and diagnosis of the underlying causes of presenting symptoms, to achieve the best possible outcome for each patient.
In 1998 he first began using computerized plantar pressure measurement, added to video examination, to aid in analysis and diagnosis of gait and foot function. The use of plantar pressure analysis to provide objective data and to predict treatment outcomes has become an integral part of his examination process to significantly improve the clinical outcomes of his patients.
Paul has a very strong interest in podiatry education and for many years has provided diabetic nurse professional development education and been a regular speaker in public health education workshops for post polio, Parkinson’s disease and cancer support groups. Several years ago Paul combined his love of foot and lower limb education with over 20 years of clinical experience using plantar pressure technology to launch Step Force Training. He now provides education and training in the clinical use of plantar pressure through online education and webinars, clinical consultancy, in-clinic workshops and as a seminar speaker.
