Annia Modlinsky: Podiatrist
Annia, moved to the United Kingdom from Cuba in 1998 and has lived in Greater Manchester ever since.
Having previously been at university in Cuba where she was completing an English teaching degree, Annia opted to pursue a completely new career in the UK, two years after the birth of her daughter. She then studied Podiatry Medicine at the University of Salford and qualified with a First-class Honours degree.
She has achieved a substantial amount of experience and skills in the identification of chronic diseases of the lower limb, as well as delivering podiatry care and treatment plans to a variety of patients both low and high risk to improve their health and wellbeing.
Annia has experience in NHS trust clinics in the North West Region which includes podiatry services such as:
- nail surgery and the administration of local anaesthetics
- routine nail and skincare including skin and nail disorders.
- assessment and treatment of the musculoskeletal system of the lower limb to identify any abnormalities that could be limiting mobility during normal gait and the manufacturing of orthotics on a regular basis.
- Knowledge of diabetic and rheumatological foot care, including how to care for patients with foot ulcers and how to use referral pathways effectively.
She has a particular interest in the musculoskeletal component of the lower limb and has spent the last few years focusing on musculoskeletal injuries during sports, particularly cycling.
Annia has been a keen cyclist for over 5 years and has participated in a range of fundraising events in support of the Macmillan Cancer Research group.
Cycling inspired her dissertation topic in her last year of study, connecting her understanding of the musculoskeletal aspect of the foot to that of the biomechanics behind cycling.
Before embarking on a career in podiatry, Annia spent 15 years running her own business working as a foot and nail care specialist including 5 years as the owner of her own nail salon.
Annia is fluent in Spanish and English
