Galway Podiatry Clinic was set up by Seamus Crawford in 1985.
The practice was subsequently taken over by Angela Mc Anearney in March 1988.
These were the first Chiropodists/Podiatrists in Galway to have completed a recognised 3 year degree course from an official college (now called the Discipline of Podiatry, University of Ulster).
Since then the clinic has grown and expanded to include two other practitioners.
