Paul Graham

Managing Director

Step Force

For over 34 years Paul has been in private practice as a practice owner, clinician and employer. With a special interest in musculoskeletal foot and lower limb conditions, his focus has always been on comprehensive, evidence-based examination and diagnosis of the underlying causes of presenting symptoms, to achieve the best possible outcome for each patient. 

Paul has used plantar pressure analysis in his clinical practice for the diagnosis and treatment of gait and foot dysfunction since 1998. It has become an integral part of his examination process, providing objective data on the trajectory, timing and amount of pressure during the gait cycle. Paul has found significant improvement in the clinical outcomes of his patients using clinical plantar pressure analysis to predict treatment outcomes and inform the orthotic prescription and review process. It enables him to chart a patient’s progress and improvement effectively and efficiently by taking a recording at each visit and comparing it to previous visits. 

As a clinical supervisor for university students studying podiatry Paul saw the need for a greater understanding of the clinical potential for plantar pressure analysis. As a result, he created Step Force Training to provide training, seminars and workshop for clinicians, both online and as a live presenter, to help practitioners understand how to use plantar pressure technology to help diagnose and treat foot dysfunction. 

Paul now provides regular training and consultancy to practitioners worldwide including Canada, the U.K., Europe, India, South Africa and the U.S.A. as well as providing clinical plantar pressure workshops at the University of Western Sydney, Latrobe University and the University of Newcastle.
