Peter Thomas

Podiatrist & Founder

Bachelor of Applied Science (Podiatry) (Western Sydney University)

With more than 25 years of experience in podiatry, Peter is passionate about helping people find practical, individualised solutions to their foot and lower-limb problems.

He completed a Bachelor of Applied Science (Podiatry) at Western Sydney University in 2000, and has undertaken further courses in sports therapy, shoe making and remedial massage, broadening his understanding of foot function, biomechanics and the relationship between the feet and the rest of the body.

His special interest is solving foot problems of all kinds. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, he believes every patient and every foot is different. His focus is on understanding the individual problem and developing a solution specifically suited to each patient’s needs, lifestyle and goals.

He established the practice in 2002 and has proudly grown it at its current location, transforming the original dwelling—dating back to 1926—into a modern podiatry practice. Today, the practice combines contemporary treatment rooms with a unique onsite workshop specialising in custom foot orthotics, allowing many aspects of assessment, design and orthotic treatment to be managed locally.

Outside the practice, Peter enjoys an active lifestyle and has a particular passion for hiking, cycling and running. His own experiences with endurance activities provide a valuable personal perspective when helping patients manage foot and lower-limb issues. His adventures include completing the Six Foot Track Marathon, the Great North Walk 100’s event, the Mount Bogong to Hotham Trail Race, as well as several Hawkesbury Classics and rogaining. He also enjoys birdwatching and gardening.

With extensive experience, a practical approach and a genuine passion for solving foot problems, Peter is committed to providing individualised podiatry care and finding the right solution for every foot.

Peter consults on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at Hornsby.
