Nelson completed his Bachelor of Health Science and Masters of Podiatry at La Trobe University in Melbourne, graduating in 2014. The following year Nelson moved to the Gold Coast in pursuit of warmer weather and began working at Gold Coast Foot Centres in 2015.
Nelson has worked as a podiatrist in a range of settings including private practice and public and community settings. This has exposed him to a diverse patient base in the areas of assessment and rehabilitation of sporting injuries, diabetes, nail surgeries, footwear recommendation and general foot care.
During his study Nelson worked in a running shoe shop in Melbourne called Active Feet where he gained invaluable knowledge of the range of athletic footwear and how a shoe fitting can affect biomechanics and injury.
Nelson's special interests in podiatry are the prevention and treatment of injury, paediatric podiatry and how athletic footwear affects bio-mechanics.
Outside of work Nelson enjoys playing Australian Rules football for the Broadbeach Cats, running, social basketball, hiking, food and playing guitar.
