About Us

My name is Stephanie Owen and I am the director and owner of SO Podiatry. First and foremost I am passionate about helping the people of Worcestershire to better understand their foot health in order to move pain free. I am a qualified and highly skilled Musculoskeletal (MSK) Podiatrist, HCPC registered, with over 25 years’ experience both in the NHS and private sector. My special interest areas are gait analysis, dynamic function, footwear and tissue stress, and I am member of the Royal College of Podiatry and MSK:UK

I am a qualified podiatrist with a MSc in Clinical Biomechanics (Staffordshire University 2010) , BSc (hons) in Podiatry (Queen Margaret University College 1999) and PgCert in education (National University of Ireland Galway 2009). I teach and deliver educational sessions to health care professionals on podiatry biomechanics and since setting up my Worcester based clinic, SO Podiatry in 2017, I also present to running clubs and specialist sports groups on foot health and education.

Hello, my name is Haylee Mutemi I am thrilled to start my journey here. Treating others and making sure to satisfy their needs has always been something I love to do, especially when it comes to injuries or overall health. I am looking forward to giving the best service and treatment I can.

I have been studying sports and exercise therapy since 2019. I completed my Degree at  the University of Wolverhampton. It was an amazing experience to learn and grow in something that I love being. One of my biggest opportunities to date was being one of the sports therapists for the Walsall Men’s first team during season 2023-2024. This was a real eye-opener, and I am grateful to use the knowledge from there at SO Podiatry!

I firmly support the advantages of exercise rehabilitation, hands-on therapies, and proper nutrition. Being a hybrid athlete, I have fully grasped the various implications that these challenges can bring to our daily lives. With that understanding, my primary goal is to help you regain your sense of normalcy and comfort as swiftly as possible. I am committed to guiding you through this process, ensuring that we address the immediate issues and work towards long-term solutions that will keep you pain-free. Your well-being is my priority, and I am here to support you every step of the way on this journey.

Fun fact about me is that I am a content creator!

Hi I’m Ash I am a dedicated and skilled Injury Specialist, graduating with a degree in Sports Therapy from Birmingham City University in May 2024. Passionate about injury prevention and rehabilitation, I try to combine academic knowledge with hands-on experience i obtained from various football clubs, ranging from professional to semi-professional levels.

In addition to my degree, I hold an Intermediate Trauma Management Level 4 FA qualification, equipping me with the skills necessary to handle complex sports injuries and provide emergency medical support on the field. My expertise is rooted in a deep understanding of human biomechanics and the importance of optimal recovery strategies.

In September 2025, I will further expand my knowledge by pursuing a Master’s degree in Sports Rehabilitation. With a forward-thinking approach and a commitment to enhancing people’s well-being, I am set to make a significant impact in the field and in clinic of sports therapy and rehabilitation.

In addition to my professional pursuits, I enjoy staying active by attending the gym regularly, which helps me maintain both physical and mental well-being. I’m also a passionate supporter of West Bromwich Albion, following the team home and away, i have covered many miles on the road filled with highs after a win and lows after losses! When it comes to unwinding, my favourite escape is traveling to Fuerteventura, a place that holds a special place in my heart with its beautiful landscapes and relaxing atmosphere. These hobbies keep me balanced and allow me to recharge outside of my career.

Hi! My name is Jodie and I am the receptionist/administrator here at SO Podiatry.

I joined the team at the beginning of September 2022 having previously worked in the hospitality industry for over 10 years, I thought it was the right time for a change and to try something new-and I am glad I made that decision! I love to meet and greet everyone and I am a whizz with all things admin. I am the happy person at the end of the phone when you call. If you ever have anything you want to know about the practice I can find out the answer.

Away from work I love travelling  with my partner, On my wish list is New Zealand! I really want to visit the magical city of New York at Christmas (my favourite time of the year)

I have learnt so much about Podiatry and how the practice works since settling in and I am excited to  continue to work alongside the fantastic team!

Hi! I’m Jen. I love all things admin. I know right, someone’s got to! I work remotely supporting Steph and the team at SO Podiatry with all things admin, email marketing, and website development. Over the past 15 years, small businesses have worked with me to grow, improve their efficiencies, and enjoy their business again.

I’ve always been an admin-bod, and if something needs creating, systemising or managing, I’m just a message or phone call away! Away from work, I’m kept busy with my 3 children, crazy Whippet, and my husband who runs his own carpentry business (yes, my admin skills are put to use there too!). I also LOVE to play Netball and do so at least once a week in Norwich.
