Aisling McHugh
Podiatrist
BSc(Hons) Podiatry
Hailing from Ireland, Aisling graduated from Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh with a first-class honours degree. She began her career in the National Health Service working in high-risk foot management. Early in her career, Aisling was promoted to a General Specialist Podiatrist due to her multifaceted approach and has since developed skills in a range of specialities including biomechanics, nail surgery and student practice education. Whilst practising in the NHS, Aisling also worked in private practice to enhance her biomechanical skills. She gained an interest in sports and exercise podiatry in this role, treating an array of people from recreational to professional athletes. Aisling widened her skill set here, training in Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy, Dry Needling, Laser Therapy and Foot Mobilisation Techniques. Since moving to Sydney in early 2023, Aisling has been working in private practice.
Aisling firmly believes that every individual deserves access to high quality,
evidenced based, health information so that they can make informed decisions with
regards to their care. Her skills, knowledge and experience ensure that she has the
ability to accurately assess, diagnose and support individuals of all abilities in pursuit of their goals. Aisling aims to unravel what matters most to patients and empower them towards this. She is committed to the quality of her care and is passionate about the prevention and rehabilitation of injuries in line with evidence-based information.
Aisling lived in Edinburgh for 6.5 years before deciding to follow the sun to Sydney, Australia in January 2023. She enjoys the outdoors and spends most of her spare time at the gym, reformer pilates, running, and in the ocean. Travelling and trying out new sports are some of Aisling’s favourite activities.
Aisling is a member of the Australian Podiatry Association (APODA) and Sports and Exercise Podiatry Australia (SEPA).

PODIATRY | BECOME PAIN FREE & ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS
Keep moving & maintain an active lifestyle
At The Movement Centre we get a thrill out of keeping you on your feet, so that you can keep doing the things that you love. And no one is better able to keep you on your feet than our podiatrists. We have come to find that just like people, feet are ever evolving. As our lifestyles and our foot health changes over the course of our lives, so do our podiatry needs.
This is why podiatry at The Movement Centre is so dynamic. We care for families through their developmental years all the way up until the children move out of home and into the world. We see them move in and out of sports or interests, then in and out of occupations, all with different demands on their feet. The whole time our focus is movement. We help you to move the correct way, to move pain free and to move for a lifetime.
