Billy Gascoyne – Podiatrist in Mt Hawthorn

I’m a podiatrist from Sydney, graduating from Western Sydney university in 2014. I was drawn to podiatry as it encompassed various elements such as sports injuries, anatomy, movement and medicine. I came from a family of athletes and I was well aware of the disabling nature of injury and pain. I knew I wanted to pursued a vocation which was able to provide me knowledge and provide treatment for those suffering with pain and disability. Hence I became a podiatrist.

Since graduating, and suffering my own ongoing injuries, I was unable to find good, consistent answers to mine and common problems I saw in the clinic such as; complex foot pain, achilles pain, patella issues, lateral hip and sacroilliac joint pain. I searched and spoke to many well known clinicians and read everything I could find. This is where I eventually stumbled across a recently developed manual therapy and treatment system from the USA namely, Fascial Counterstrain. I was personally treated via this method and It
immediately resonated with me due to its effectiveness and science.

Counterstrain was the best ‘thing’ I had come across during this part of my professional journey. My leg pain disappeared after 5 minutes of treatment after 5 years. Brian Tuckey the developer has recently published a peer reviewed journal and featured in Tony Robbins book ‘Life Force’. As a podiatrist, my interests are assessing and treating unresolved pain and disability. I’m the person you see when everything else has failed and nobody seems to have an answer. I have spent arduous amounts of time developing my skills that have organically become ‘outside the box’ and effective. I look forward to helping you on your health journey.
