Melanie Wu (Cocolas) 

B.Hlth.Sc.(Pod)(Hons)

Melanie graduated from Queensland University of Technology in 2010 with a Bachelor of Health Science (Podiatry) with Honours.

With a strong passion for all aspects of podiatry, Melanie’s interest began in her youth when she became acutely aware of biomechanics and musculoskeletal injuries through her extensive involvement in sports. Competing in various teams and nationally in hurdles and javelin, she quickly recognized the vital role that lower limb health plays in both athletic pursuits and everyday life, inspiring her to become a podiatrist.

Having undergone two ACL reconstructions herself, Melanie fully understands the significance of the rehabilitation process. She is dedicated to helping her patients achieve their individual goals, whether that involves enhancing general mobility, reaching sporting aspirations, or pursuing personal ambitions.

Collaborating with multiple Toe-Tal Podiatry locations and working within other clinics, Melanie has fostered strong relationships with associated GPs and allied health professionals, including physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, massage therapists, dieticians, and pharmacists. This teamwork ensures that her patients receive the most effective treatment options available.

Outside of her professional life, Melanie stays active through gym workouts, volleyball, and swimming. She also has a deep passion for music, enjoying both attending live performances and playing the drums at gigs around Brisbane.

As a proud mum of two, she loves spending time outdoors with her family! 

Mel currently works at the Salisbury, Acacia Ridge and Morningside locations.
