Meet Hamish Vickerman

Physiotherapist & Founder of Fasciitis Fighter

Hamish is the founder of Fasciitis Fighter and a practising physiotherapist with over 18 years of clinical experience. His focus has always been the lower limb, and he has helped thousands of people with plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, heel spurs, and related foot conditions.

Hamish holds a Bachelor of Physiotherapy and a Bachelor of Exercise Science, graduating from Griffith University in 2005. He designed the Fasciitis Fighter product range directly from his clinical work, frustrated by the lack of effective, accessible tools for people dealing with persistent heel pain.

His approach is straightforward: honest, evidence-based advice without unnecessary treatment or jargon. He will tell you what is most likely to help, what probably will not, and how to move forward.

Outside of work, Hamish is a dad to two young girls and fits in golf, running and tennis whenever life allows. He understands first-hand what it means to want to stay active and what it feels like when your body gets in the way of that.

Up to Date, Not Old School

The research around foot and heel pain has moved considerably over the past decade. What was standard advice ten years ago is often no longer supported by the evidence, and Hamish keeps up with that.

He regularly reviews current literature on plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, heel pain and related lower limb conditions, and applies that thinking directly to the advice he gives. You won't get outdated information dressed up as fact.

His approach evolves with the evidence. If the research says something works, he will tell you. If it doesn't, he will tell you that too.

And while foot pain is a serious matter, Hamish brings a lightness to his consultations that most people appreciate. He takes your condition seriously without making the whole experience feel clinical and heavy. Expect straight talk, a bit of humour, and someone who genuinely enjoys what he does.

What the Consultation Covers

Ready to Get Some Answers?

Hamish won't promise a miracle cure or a quick fix. Foot and heel pain, particularly conditions like plantar fasciitis, can take time and the right approach to improve. What he will give you is a genuine understanding of what is going on, why it is happening, and what a realistic path forward looks like for you.

The goal of every consultation is to leave you better informed, more confident in managing your condition, and clear on the steps that will actually move things in the right direction. Recovery is a journey and Hamish's job is to make sure you are on the right one.

Sometimes the answer will be simple. Sometimes it will take more work. Either way, Hamish will tell you what he genuinely thinks, not what you want to hear.
