Chloe-May Bennett

Senior Podiatrist, Director

My passion for podiatry started during my teenage years where my love of sport led me to represent New Zealand in the FIFA Under 17’s Women’s Football World Cup.

I grew up in a small rural area of New Zealand, where playing sports was a huge aspect of our social lives.

My passion for podiatry started during my teenage years when my love of sport led me to represent New Zealand in the FIFA Under 17’s Women’s Football World Cup. Seeing a team of healthcare professionals working together to keep the team functioning at our best, truly inspired my career choice. I love guiding athletes towards building a healthy, strong foundation and getting you back to the activity you love.

I graduated from Auckland University of Technology in 2015, before moving to Australia to start my career. I have worked across Tasmania, Victoria and Queensland, and have well and truly fallen in love with the sunny Queensland weather!

Outside of work, you will often find me out travelling and bushwalking with my husband and children.

Our Approach

Here at Functional Soles Podiatry, everything we do is for our clients.

We believe that you are more than the condition or labels that have been used to describe your symptoms.

Our three-step approach RELIEVE, RESTORE, and RECLAIM uses individualised programming and interventions specific to your needs, enabling you to achieve your goals.

Relieve

Initially we will work with you to relieve the symptoms you are experiencing. The goal during this period of your recovery is to assist the body to start the healing process.

Restore

As your symptoms settle, we will introduce you to exercises specific to your physical activity and goals. This will allow you to begin restoring your overall function and assist you in returning to your chosen activity.

Reclaim

Reclaim is where we continue to work with you after your injury has healed, to ensure you return to the activities you love. During this phase we utilise a performance-based approach to your rehabilitation, allowing you to experience movement in a safe environment, which provides you with the confidence to return to your activity.
