Biography

Meet Ria

I am a podiatrist with 17 years of experience in treating foot and ankle conditions. I graduated with First Class Honours in Podiatry from the University of Brighton, where my studies included a successful journal publication.

My career has spanned both NHS and private practice, where I have developed expertise in the management of musculoskeletal conditions with a particular interest in human biomechanics and the treatment of lower limb pathologies.

I take a holistic approach to care, looking beyond foot and ankle function to consider each person’s overall health and lifestyle. My treatments range from conservative management and physical therapy to prescription orthotics, all tailored to help people move more comfortably and confidently.

Patients often tell me they value my warm, approachable manner and my ability to make complex medical information clear and easy to understand. My goal is always to help people return to the activities they enjoy with greater ease and confidence.

Outside of work, I am passionate about living an active lifestyle and promoting a healthy environment. I enjoy swimming, hiking, and spending time outdoors with my children and our dog.

Testimonials

Real Experiences, Real Results

From Paul Clayton

For Sam Lane, Physio

I was very impressed with Sam’s knowledge and professionalism. I am confident that he will help me with my issues.

From Maris Cole

For Sam Lane, Physio

I was seen on time. The form I submitted beforehand had been read, was referred to and set the context for my visit. My problem was with my left foot and leg. The examination compared both feet to detect possible sources of my problem.

From Nicky Shepley

For Georgina King, Sports Therapist

I was very optimistic about a good outcome as she totally understands my problems and has a very encouraging attitude

From Pete Berryman

For Matt Sherrington, Physio

Fantastic…really good to have a proper discussion about the issue, plus get a holistic view as to the overall issues…AND a whole lot better afterwards!

From Lawson Jenkins

For Matt Sherrington, Physio

Excellent physio session with Matt during which he worked to improve the movement in my lower back, shoulder and (arthritic) neck. Everything feels, and is, more mobile and, in particular, my neck pain had significantly reduced and is hardly noticeable.

From Ann Skinner

For Ria Woodland, Podiatrist

I really appreciate Ria’s knowledge, caring and enthusiasm. It gives me hope that I may be able to reduce my pain to manageable levels and carry on doing the things I love without the need for surgery”

From John Florence

For James Forrester-Wood

James acted very professional, put you at ease, at the same time laughed and joked at the right time. Thoroughly recommend

From Rachel Bostock

For Liz Walker, Foot Health Practitioner

Liz was brilliant. I was hesitant about having someone look at my feet as it can be a bit embarrassing. I wish I’d done it sooner. My feet feel so much better and the experience was really lovely. All of the staff I met at the clinic were lovely too.

From Michelle Stamp

For Liz Walker, Foot Health Practitioner

Liz was amazing! I felt at ease and Liz knew exactly what to do and what the problem was. It was my first appointment and I am so grateful as my pain has gone. Liz gave me some good advice too. Really happy and would definitely recommend Liz
