About Mr Alex Townsend
Alex Townsend is a Podiatrist at Pure Sports Medicine St Paul’s and Canary Wharf. He completed his Bachelor’s degree (BSc) in Podiatry at the University of Southampton in the summer of 2015. Since then, he has gained experience in both the NHS and private sectors, delivering advanced and high-quality foot care. He has expertise in managing acute diabetic ulcerations, sporting injuries, nail surgery, and routine podiatry care, as well as musculoskeletal and sports injury management. Biomechanics and gait analysis, foot orthoses therapy, sport-specific footwear modification, and sports injury management are his primary areas of interest. Since 2019, Alex has served as a senior podiatrist volunteer at Ultra Marathons organised by Action Challenge. His recent expedition took him to the Sahara Desert, where he provided podiatric care and guidance to race participants. Additionally, he volunteers annually at the London Marathon, offering medical care to both professional and amateur athletes. Alongside his clinical work, Alex is an avid triathlete and cyclist, actively participating with the Thames Turbo Triathlon Club in South West London. Notably, he competed in Ironman UK 2022 and the Thames Path 100km Ultra Marathon. This enthusiasm for endurance sports fuelled his specialisation in podiatric sports medicine and exercise-related injuries. In 2018, completed PGCert in Podiatric Sports Medicine at Queen Mary’s University of London.
