Eleanor Saunders 
Podiatrist 
 
Eleanor graduated from Salford University in 2017 with a BSc(Hons) in Podiatry. She developed an interest in Podiatry after having her own feet treated by a podiatrist and realised how great it was to be able to relieve pain for people. 
 
She worked as a carer whilst studying, taking care of the elderly in their own homes and often used the dementia training gained from her Podiatry degree. 
 
Since graduating she has worked in private practice. 
 
Eleanor has three children but still manages to find a little time for swimming, walking in the countryside and going to the cinema.

Mary has a wide understanding and knowledge of dermatological, diabetic, vascular, neurological and biomechanical assessments, treatments and management.
