TCR S1:E9 Paul Harradine
In this episode we speak with leading podiatrist, clinician & researcher:
Paul Harradine
Paul graduated in 1994 and has remained a clinician with an interest in research. He tries to balance his enjoyment of both, having prescribed more than 10,000 pairs of custom foot orthotics and being the lead author on 9 peer reviewed publications. Paul’s areas of interest are foot function theory, foot orthoses theory and gait analysis. He has also obtained a CertEd, PGCert in Sports Podiatry, PGDip in Sports Science and a MSc in Sports Injury and Therapy. He is currently in the 5th year of a part time PhD investigating real time clinical gait analysis.
Day to day, Paul is a full-time clinician and director of ‘The Podiatry Centre’ in 3 locations with 6 associates. These are unique podiatry clinic setups, with gait analysis and foot orthotic laboratories in each location. They make their own custom foot orthotic while the patient waits.
When not working, he is the father of 5 sons and has 2 step daughters. In any spare time, he trains and competes at drug free bodybuilding, coaches colts cricket and plays the guitar.
With two of his sons, they have a family rock band and they are rather loud!!
In this episode we discuss:
- How Paul’s passion for healthcare/sports performance evolved due to his love of “helping people” (first sparked volunteering as a 17yr old on an oncology ward).
- How interacting with some brilliant lecturers at Northampton Podiatry School teaching podiatric biomechanics was a “lightbulb” moment.
- Paul's passion to know more about how the foot worked and how we can change it to help the problem (rather than treat the outcome)
- His sporting history includes karate, judo, taekwondo, running, triathlon, hockey, table tennis, cricket, squash, sailing and windsurfing – Paul loves sport!!
- How he relished challenging the accepted & then current theories on gait function, which ultimately led to Paul publishing the “Unified theory of foot function and the MOSI foot orthotic modification” with his colleague Lawrence Bevan.
- Key moments of influence in Paul’s career
- (NHS multi-disciplinary clinic in Portsmouth with physio Nick Carter)
- Working with Health Education Seminars.
- His friend from Uni, Lawrence Bevan
- His current PhD process (not yet over) & how it is allowing him to grow as a researcher and aid his clinical practice.
- Paul’s top tips for up and coming therapists & clinicians.
- Why there’s more to gait than feet and glutes!
- Assessing statically does not reliably predict dynamic function. Watch people function!
