Funmi Obi
Founder & Musculoskeletal Specialist Podiatrist
Funmi Obi is the Founder of ChilternWellbeing Foot and Ankle Clinic and a highly experienced MSK Specialist Podiatrist with a deep passion for helping people stay mobile, independent, and active throughout their lives.
With a strong clinical background built over 18 years in the NHS, Funmi developed extensive expertise in managing complex foot and lower-limb conditions, as well as supporting patients through pain, injury, and rehabilitation. Her particular areas of interest include injury prevention, biomechanics, and gait analysis, helping patients understand how they move and how to optimise function from the ground up.
Establishing ChilternWellbeing was a long-held ambition for Funmi — a dream rooted in her desire to create a clinic that truly impacts the local community. What began as a small private evening clinic, renting just one room in Hayes alongside NHS work, has grown into a trusted wellbeing centre supporting thousands of patients on their journey to better movement and healthier lives.
Funmi is passionate about empowering her patients to achieve their personal goals — whether that means returning to walking without pain, recovering from injury, staying active in later life, or simply feeling confident on their feet again. She believes healthcare is a partnership, and she is proud to walk alongside her patients every step of the way.
With over 21 years of clinical experience, Funmi feels genuinely privileged to do the work she loves and remains deeply grateful to the patients who have supported her from the very beginning.
My Specialist Area:
I specialise in the musculoskeletal side of podiatry, helping to assess any foot or ankle pain, sports, or non-related sports injuries and various conditions that can cause pain and discomfort to your feet. My action plan with my patients is assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. With our state-of-the-art gait analysis machine used in all our Biomechanical gait analysis appointments I can accurately pinpoint areas of concern and provide a completely personalised report that will outline all findings and the best treatment options for you. All aspects of your journey and next steps will be thoroughly explained and discussed. From creating custom orthotic insoles to laser therapy treatment plans and exercises. I am even available anytime via email or video/telephone consultation to see how you are getting on!
