Mark Challinor

Hello! I’m Mark Challinor, a podiatrist with a passion for keeping people on their feet—literally. When I’m not in the clinic helping patients in Harpurhey, Manchester, you’ll often find me at the gym, out running, or exploring the hills of Lancashire (usually on what was meant to be a “gentle stroll”).

I love working in Harpurhey — it’s a true community clinic with a community feel, and the local people who come through the door always make my day. There’s always plenty of friendly chat, and if you visit in the winter, you might even be offered a nice hot chocolate to warm you up!

When I’m not looking after feet, I’m at home looking after my three chickens, who keep me well supplied with eggs and plenty of amusement. They’re not great at running technique, but they do have impressive claws!

So whether you’ve got a foot problem that needs attention, want some advice on running injuries, or just fancy a chat about walking, chickens, or chocolate — I’m your man!
