David Brown
Lead Podiatrist
BSc (HONS) MRCPOD
David played professional football for 17 years, before retiring at 33 and beginning his second career. He studied Podiatry at The University of Salford in 2012, receiving extensive training in the NHS, and went on to set up David Brown Podiatry in 2015. He began his private practice within the Bridgeman Centre Physiotherapy Centre, and expanded when he took over a second clinic in The Royal Arcade. After 3 years running two clinics, they were merged into one location into a building on Mesnes Street that had stood empty for 10 years. The building was renovated and has a downstairs clinic for routine treatments and on the first floor there is a dedicated sports podiatry/gait analysis suite. David offers a wide range of podiatry services - routine foot care, specialist treatments such as nail surgery, gait analysis, and is able to manufacture bespoke orthotic insoles.
David enjoys learning and regularly attends courses with some of the world’s leading podiatrists to further his knowledge in biomechanics and lower limb injuries. David uses his sporting experience and podiatric knowledge to offer patients the best possible care using high quality equipment and products. David is a Phits™ certified podiatrist and uses Footscan® technology to analyse the biomechanics of your feet during a gait assessment. The results are used to design and make bespoke 3D printed Phits™ orthotics. He also uses Shockwave Therapy and K-Laser to treat foot and lower limb pain and other issues.
He left school at 16 and spent 3 and a half years under Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, then went on to play for Hull City, Chester City, Hereford United, Accrington Stanley, Forest Green Rovers and Wrexham playing almost 500 games and scoring over 100 goals. David worked hard during his career to educate himself and gained a degree in Sports Science in 2005 and has gained his UEFA coaching qualifications and is often involved in scouting for players and teams. David lives in Wigan with his wife Sarah and their four daughters Emily, Hannah, Sophie and Lauren and cocker spaniel Phoebe. He enjoys being outdoors, staying active, promoting healthy lifestyles and Making Movement Better for all patients.
