- Flat feet
- In-toeing and out-toeing
- Growing pains
- Heel pain (Sever’s disease)
- Gait abnormalities
- Growing pains
- Sports-related injuries
- And More!
He understand the importance of early intervention and work closely with families and other paediatric professionals to ensure the best outcomes for each child.

Aleks Baruksopulo
Podiatry Founding Partner – Musculoskeletal, Sports & Exercise
Podiatry Founding Partner – Musculoskeletal, Sports & Exercise
Aleks is an experienced Podiatrist with over 20 years of sports clinical practice treating Musculoskeletal, Sports, Running, and Exercise-related conditions. Having completed more than 40,000 patient consultations, he is highly regarded on the Gold Coast for his ability to help patients of all ages recover from injury and return to the physical activities they love.
Aleks has been a previous high level junior athlete (Basketball), recreational athlete, fitness enthusiast and avid strength trainer (for performance and injury prevention) for over 30 years. His sporting pursuits have spanned Basketball, Triathlons, Endurance Running (½ marathons), Rowing (still water and surf boats) and most recently Tennis – an incredibly frustrating (but highly enjoyable) sport to try and master!
Now being in his mid-40s with his personal and clinic experience he has a clear understanding about the importance of maintaining physical strength, conditioning and “smart” activity to help “keep together” an aging body (and mind) from a life well physically lived.
He has a strong professional interest in preventing running injuries and has authored The Runner’s Foot Guide – Feet, Shoes, Myths & Tips, (available on Amazon and in clinic). His work reflects a longstanding passion for supporting runners through evidence-based care, education, practical guidance and collaboration with other allied health and medical professionals.
Aleks’ career includes diverse roles across sport, footwear, and education. He previously co-owned a specialty running shoe store, The Podiatry Shoe Lab, completed the Level 2 Athletics Australia Recreational Running Coach accreditation, and served as a clinical supervisor for Southern Cross University’s Podiatry program at the Gold Coast campus. He has also been a treating Podiatrist for GPS (“Jeeps”) Rugby Union (Brisbane), Norths Devils Rugby League (Brisbane), Wilston Grange AFL club (Brisbane) and the Brisbane Roar Football Club (Brisbane).
He has treated professional athletes including Olympians (Basketball, Weightlifting & Running), Basketballers (NBA & NBL), NRL football players and Surf Sports. He has treated an array of junior level emerging stars from Basketball, different Football codes, Tennis, Running, Triathlon and Surf Sports. He has also treated an ‘A-List’ US movie star – whose name he will keep a secret!
Aleks holds 2 degrees – a Podiatry degree from the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and a Biomedical Science degree from the University of Queensland (UQ).
He is available for Musculoskeletal, Sports, Running, and Exercise Podiatry appointments at our Broadbeach and Burleigh clinics.
It`s Tradies National Health Month, an initiative by @physioaustralia (APA) highlighting the physical and mental demands faced by Australia`s tradies.
One week to go! 🎉
We couldn`t have said it better than @sportsandspinalstrathpine 😂
It takes an incredible team to bring Better Outcomes Conference to life, and we couldn`t do it without our amazing sponsors!
It’s hard to believe we’re almost eight months into the year!
Just two weeks to go!
Australia is facing a chronic shortage of healthcare professionals, and we urgently need more graduates entering the allied health workforce.
One conference. More than 20 disciplines. Endless opportunities to learn.
The latest APA survey paints a concerning picture:
🔨 90% of tradies experienced work-related injuries or pain in the past year
🔨 76% said pain significantly impacts their quality of life
🔨 42% described their pain as severe
🔨 24% worry they`ll need to retire early because of the toll their work takes on their bodies
Whether you`re on the tools every day or managing the demands of a physically demanding job, looking after your body matters.
Our multidisciplinary team, including physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, podiatrists, occupational therapists, psychologists, dietitians, massage therapists and more, can work with you to assess injuries, manage pain, support recovery and help you stay healthy for the long haul.
A big thank you to the Australian Physiotherapy Association for continuing to shine a light on the health and wellbeing of Australia`s tradies through Tradies National Health Month.

A huge thank you to these fantastic organisations for jumping on board and helping make the Better Outcomes Conference 2026 possible. We`re so excited to have you with us for a day of learning, collaboration and connection.
See you in two weeks!
To our 2026 New Grad cohort, we couldn’t be prouder of everything you’ve achieved.
Over the past few months, we’ve watched you grow in confidence, embrace every learning opportunity and build meaningful relationships with your patients. Seeing your appointment books fill, hearing the positive feedback from patients and colleagues, and watching you settle into your teams has been incredibly rewarding.
Recently, we also came together for our Mid-Year Refresher Training, taking time to reflect, reconnect and continue building on everything you`ve learned so far. Supporting our New Grads doesn`t stop after orientation, it`s something we`re committed to throughout the year and beyond.
You`re doing an incredible job, and we can`t wait to see what the rest of the year has in store.
#SportsandSpinal #NewGradLife #AlliedHealthCareers
The countdown is on for the #BetterOutcomesConference2026 🙌
In just 14 days, clinicians, legal professionals and industry leaders from more than 20 disciplines will come together in Brisbane to learn from one another, share ideas and strengthen the way we work together.
Why? Because when professionals collaborate, the people we care for benefit.
Proudly hosted by Sports & Spinal Group @travis_schultz_partners, the Better Outcomes Conference is all about building stronger connections, sharing knowledge and finding new ways to deliver even better care and support for our patients and communities.
We can`t wait to welcome our colleagues and partners for another inspiring day of learning, collaboration and connection.

To qualify, students across occupational therapy, physiotherapy, psychology and other allied health professions are required to complete hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of hours of mandatory unpaid clinical placement.
Many experience significant financial hardship during this time, often referred to as `placement poverty`, due to lost income and the added costs of travel, accommodation, food and other living expenses.
To help address this issue, Allied Health Professions Australia (AHPA) has launched a national petition calling for the Commonwealth Prac Payment to be expanded to all allied health students.
We encourage you to support the next generation of allied health professionals by signing the petition and helping end placement poverty.
