About Us

Susan Ackerley

Bsc (Hons) M. Pod. W.A

I am the proprietor of Rightstep Podiatry. I qualified with an Honours degree as a Podiatrist in 2005, after 4 years of study at Salford University in England. During my years of training, I was able to work within the local National Health System hospitals to gain experience with high risk foot conditions. I particularly enjoyed training with the diabetic foot patients at the Manchester Foot Hospital.
Since graduating, I have run my own podiatry practice both in the United Kingdom and in Canning Vale. Rightstep podiatry was set up in 2009 and we are now open 4 and a 1/2 days a week.

During our work we undertake regular professional development courses, as an example of previous courses and treatment, I now include at the practice:

  • Acupuncture/ Dry needling
  • Mobilisation & Manual therapy
  • Kinesiology Strapping
  • Diabetic reviews and Neurovascular assessments
  • Shockwave
  • Laser Therapy LTU-904
  • Orthotic Therapy with up-to-date technology (3D scanning)
  • SWIFT treatment for plantar warts
  • OTC inserts
  • Exercise advice & programs for rehab

I am also proficient in providing Biomechanical assessments, orthotics and nail surgeries. During the last few years I have also had the pleasure of working with Mark Ould at Malibu Podiatry, where we can see up to 200 patients a week ranging from Diabetics to Navy personnel. I look forward to helping you and your family to see, feel and enjoy the benefits of Podiatry care.

I am available at Rightstep Podiatry every Tuesday and Wednesday, from 9am – 5pm. And every Saturday, from 8:30am – 12pm.

Alycia Lee

DPM, BBiomedSc

I am Alycia and I am part of the team at Rightstep Podiatry.

I moved from Malaysia with my immediate family in 2011 and have been in Perth ever since. English is considered my first language, but I can still speak conversational-level Mandarin.

I graduated from the University of Western Australia with a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) degree. Prior to completing my DPM degree, I completed a Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences degree, majoring in Medical Sciences. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to be a part of a profession that can be challenging, but also incredibly rewarding.

The most significant learning experience I had throughout my degree was my experience within the Great Southern region, especially in Albany. Prior to graduating, I had the opportunity to work as a podiatry assistant for 5 weeks as well as complete my final 6-week block of placements there and was exposed to all aspects of podiatry. I am particularly interested in musculoskeletal pathologies, biomechanics, orthotic therapy, rehabilitation of injuries as well as diabetic foot care.

I am available at Rightstep Podiatry every Monday (8:30am – 5pm) and Friday (8:30am – 4:30pm).

 

Jasmine Law

DPM, BSc (Physiology)

My name is Jasmine and I graduated from the University of Western Australia with a degree in Bachelor of Science majoring in Physiology, followed by a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine.

Since graduating, I have had experience in working as a Podiatrist in the Great Southern, in both regional hospitals and in private practices, managing a variety of conditions.

I have special interest in chronic disease management (diabetes), wound care, Podiatry nail and skin care (including nail surgeries), management of musculoskeletal conditions, dry needling and kinesiology strapping.

One of my motivations in life is to be able to help people, and what better way than to facilitate people walk pain-free again, and consequently improving an individual’s quality of life!

Outside of work, I enjoy being a foodie, spending time with family, and exploring the world and its different cultures. I am also able to speak conversational Mandarin, and am learning Japanese and Korean in my spare time.

I will be starting work at Rightstep Podiatry from May 2024 onwards and will be available every 2nd Saturday from 8:30am – 12pm.
