Robert Ashton

Meet Robert – Our Sporty, Savvy, and Seriously Skilled Podiatrist

Robert’s podiatry journey started in Australia, where he graduated from Charles Sturt University and began treating feet (and everything connected to them!) in New South Wales. In 2006, he swapped kangaroos for kopi and made Singapore his home — and he hasn’t looked back since. Over the years, he’s become one of the most recognised podiatrists in Singapore, known for his down-to-earth approach and extensive clinical experience.

During his four years at Singapore General Hospital, Robert worked across a wide range of podiatric disciplines, sharpening his skills and developing a deep understanding of foot and lower limb health. He’s trained in multiple areas of podiatry, with special interests in sports podiatry, biomechanics, and paediatrics — in other words, if you’re moving, running, growing, or limping, Robert’s got you covered.

Robert works closely with doctors, physios, and other healthcare professionals to ensure every patient receives a holistic and effective treatment plan. He’s also had the exciting opportunity to work with the National Indonesian Athletic Team, helping top-tier athletes stay in peak condition — and learning a whole lot more about sporting biomechanics in the process.

Fun fact: Robert’s not just a sports podiatrist, he’s also a lifelong sports person and self confessed sneaker head. He’s played Australian Rules football, basketball, and touch rugby at a high level. Unfortunately, his own injury history — think ACL reconstructions and multiple shoulder injuries — forced him to dial it back a little. But these setbacks turned into strengths: he gained a deep understanding of injury rehab and prevention, which he now applies to help others bounce back stronger.

These days, Robert channels his energy into running, wakeboarding, snowboarding and thinking about the next sneakers to buy — all while helping his patients return to the activities they love.

Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a growing child, or a professional athlete, Robert combines clinical expertise with lived experience to get you moving confidently again.
