Tania Vascon is a senior podiatrist with over 15 years of private practice experience, delivering expert care across Melbourne’s inner eastern and south-eastern suburbs. A graduate of La Trobe University with a Bachelor of Podiatry, she offers a broad clinical scope — from general foot care and nail surgery to orthotic therapy and complex musculoskeletal presentations. Now consulting as part of the multidisciplinary team at Melbourne CBD Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine Clinic, she contributes to the clinic’s integrated Melbourne CBD Podiatry services through a detail-oriented, patient-centred approach.

Tania’s clinical interests span musculoskeletal injury management, lower limb biomechanics, and procedural care. She is particularly passionate about identifying the root cause of foot and ankle pain, using comprehensive biomechanical assessments that extend beyond the foot to include the entire lower limb. Her treatment strategies aim to reduce pain, restore function, and optimise movement — whether that means returning to sport, reducing injury recurrence, or simply improving daily comfort.

She has a strong background in managing overuse injuries, performing minor surgical procedures for ingrown toenails, and prescribing custom orthotics to support structural alignment and load distribution. Her extensive experience allows her to tailor interventions across a broad patient base, from young children and dancers to older adults and recreational athletes.

Tania has also undertaken further study in pre-pointe assessments, developing a comprehensive screening framework for dancers preparing to transition en pointe. Originally designed in collaboration with a physiotherapist, this framework was refined through her completion of the Pointe Intensive course with dance physiotherapist Lisa Howell. Her work in this area has supported countless young dancers in safely meeting the demands of technical progression.

As a member of Sports and Exercise Podiatry Australia (SEPA), Tania remains committed to ongoing professional development and best-practice care. Her warm, thorough, and collaborative style makes her a valued member of the broader clinical team — helping patients achieve better outcomes through informed, holistic podiatric care.
