Lina Wood, Principal Podiatrist & Founder

After graduating from LaTrobe University and moving to Wagga for her first job as a podiatrist, Lina met her husband Bill. They travelled and worked professionally both overseas and interstate, before moving back to Wagga to start the Active Foot Clinic in 2005.

The reason Lina loves being a podiatrist is because “people often walk in with pain, and walk out without pain. It’s a good feeling helping people achieve this.”

Lina enjoys spending time with her patients, and also has 4 children to keep her busy. She says she spends a lot of time on soccer and football sidelines. As well as family time, Lina also loves spending time running, gardening, travelling, doing yoga and growing food for the family.

Lina assists patients at our Active Foot Clinic Wagga Wagga facility, and says podiatry has some amazing ways of helping people that they don’t realise. Some people put up with problems for a long time, not realising there is often a simple and effective solution.
