The need for healthy feet

We often ignore the importance of regularly caring for our feet until we suffer problems like foot pain, corns, or in-growing toenails.  Many people need simple foot care to maintain mobility and quality of life. Being overweight or diabetic increases this need, and both of these conditions are rapidly increasing in prevalence in the population: diabetics have need of professional foot care.

Having healthy feet increases vitality and functionality and, above all, it boosts confidence.  Many young people are into sport and strenuous leisure activities and want 100% from their feet. Some of us simply like to be pampered and feel good whilst others need to be reassured that nothing is going wrong with their feet.

Foot Health Practitioners

Foot Health Practice is the modern way to care for corns, callus, bunions, ingrown toenails, verrucae, all the everyday things that happen to feet.

Foot Health Practitioners deliver routine foot care wherever it is needed. They are trained to recognise and assess foot conditions, treat appropriately and refer when necessary.

Foot Health Practitioners attend to all of the common conditions that affect the foot and leg.  This can range from routine care of the nails, through treatment of verrucae and hard corns, to functional problems of the foot in gait. Feet are complicated machines. There are a great many foot pathologies.

Working as independent practitioners in the private sector, Foot Health Practitioners deliver their skills in a wide range of settings. They work with other health care professionals wherever necessary for the well-being of their clients.

They may visit individual clients in their own homes, attend clients in Rest Homes and Nursing Homes, or visit industrial and commercial sites for the benefit of employees. Many Foot Health Practitioners establish their own surgery-based premises in order to provide a service to a local population.

Our work is varied and interesting, every patient displaying different conditions and presentations.
