Meet Torquay Podiatrist Clementine Scheffers

Oliver graduated from La Trobe University in 2014 with a Master of Podiatric Practice. Since then, he has spent most of his career in private practice, where he enjoys helping people stay healthy, active and engaged in their favourite activities.

He is endorsed for scheduled medicines, allowing him to prescribe medications and administer corticosteroid injections in the foot and ankle. Oliver also has a special interest in exercise and strength-based rehabilitation, shockwave therapy, load management, orthoses therapy, and footwear modifications—skills he refined while working as a ski-boot fitter in Niseko, Japan.

He keeps up to date with research through membership in the Sports & Exercise Podiatry Association, an affiliate membership with the Australian College of Podiatric Surgeons, and regular professional development seminars. He is currently completing his Master of Sports Medicine at the University of Melbourne, with ambitions to complete a surgical fellowship.

An enthusiastic sportsman, Oliver plays football for Geelong in the VFL, and trains for endurance events—having completed the Singapore and Melbourne marathons. This year he is targeting a 70.3 Ironman in Busselton, WA. In his spare time he enjoys gym, cycling, snowboarding, cricket, golf and tennis—any activity that keeps him moving.
