Working with Athletes, Developing as a Sports Podiatrist and Working in Private Practice with Angelo Vehlo

Alex is joined by Angelo Vehlo, a Sports and Paediatric Podiatrist from Western Australia to talk about his career, how he developed his career as a sports podiatrist/a niche in managing gymnasts and ballet dancers and what advice he would give to young clinicians with similar goals.
