Know When You Need A Podiatrist 🦶


If you’re unsure if your feet need professional care, call in to our clinic , your local trusted podiatrist.
We can help to diagnose any foot problems you may have and help you get your feet on the road to recovery.

📌Here are some daily tips we’d like to share with you all 😊

KEEP THEM CLEAN 🧼 🦶


When you shower, don’t forget to wash your feet. It’s tempting to think because you’re standing in soapy water they’ll automatically get clean but that’s not always the case.

Give them a good rub with some soap and a cloth or sponge to get any stubborn dirt off them.


EXFOLIATE


Our feet can dry out, especially over the summer months.

Give them a gentle scrub with a pumice stone at least once a week to remove any dead skin and leave them feeling smooth and refreshed.


MOISTURISE

After cleaning, make sure you moisturise your feet to lock in all that moisture from your shower or bath. This will help keep your feet soft and silky smooth.

CHOOSE WELL FITTED SHOES👟

Poor choice of footwear can lead to all sorts of foot problems. From pain to hammertoe, what shoes you put on your feet has a bigger impact on your foot health than you may realise.

For the majority of your time in shoes, opt for ones that are comfortable, supportive and well-fitted.

KEEP YOUR NAILS TRIMMED

Just as you trim and manicure your nails, don’t forget about your toenails.

Keep them trimmed and neat to avoid ingrown toenails and pain from long nails pushing on the inside of your shoes.

LET THEM BREATHE

It’s not good to spend all day in socks and shoes. Make sure your feet have time to be free of any footwear and allow air to circulate around them.

INVEST IN GREAT SOCKS

Sock choice is just as important as your choice of shoes. If you need to wear socks, make them quality ones made from natural materials like cotton or bamboo (at least 50%).

This helps them breathe and not get so sweaty in warmer conditions.

USE NAIL & CUTICLE OIL

By using a nail and cuticle oil you can keep your nails looking in tip-top condition. It protects your nails and cuticles from drying out and splitting, which can lead to nail infections.
