Ratna Podiatry

X-rays are one of those wonderful things that allow us to see deeper into the body.

They allow us to see things that the naked eye doesn't and while in most cases we don't need them, they can really add to the clinical and hands-on assessments that we normally do.

If we feel that you need one and it will help us, we'll either refer you back to your doctor or guide you towards a private option.

Have you had an x-ray before?

Rest is important!

When we work with clients who have injuries, we often talk about rest and its part that it plays in recovery.

If you injure yourself, there will be a period of time that you need to rest the tissues so they can heal.

Rest doesn’t have to be the absence of activity though, it can be relative, meaning that it might be a change in activity intensity or trying something different.

Whatever that looks like, we’ll guide you.

But you don’t have to feel guilty about rest - it’s important to get you back to fitness in the quickest possible way.

Bonfire Night is all about wrapping up warm and enjoying the fireworks, but don’t forget about your feet.

Standing in the cold for long periods can lead to problems like chilblains or worsen existing conditions like poor circulation.

Make sure your feet are protected—thick socks, proper shoes, and a bit of extra care can help you enjoy the night without any nasty surprises later on.

It’s true what they say—‘put your best foot forward.’

But clichés often have wisdom behind them.

Healthy feet are essential to feeling good and moving freely through life.

If your feet are holding you back, now is the time to make sure they’re ready to support you properly.

Sometimes, a cliché is worth paying attention to.

Stress is something we all experience, but it can have unexpected effects on the body.

Your feet, for example, might feel the strain through discomfort, tension, or even changes in the way you walk.

Ignoring these signs won’t make them go away.

Today is a reminder to be aware of how stress is impacting your body, including your feet. If stress is leaving your feet feeling worse for wear, we’re here to help.

Movember is more than just growing a moustache; it’s about raising awareness for men’s health—both physical and mental.

Foot health can sometimes be overlooked in this conversation, but it’s just as important.

Your feet carry you through every day, and looking after them is a key part of your overall well-being.

If you’ve been putting off addressing that niggling foot pain, this is a great time to take action.

Mentoring is a huge part of our degree level training.

Spending time with qualified staff is something that is core to the whole training process.

Learning.

Being supported.

Growing.

We get the chance to do this for up and coming podiatrists, but in a way we get to do the same with our patients too.

Who has been a great mentor to you?

Footwear!

The subject of many conversations and consultation in the clinic.

What’s the best shoes for…?

Will these shoes help my feet?

Can my inserts fit into these shoes?

So what do we recommend?

Well, let's start with something simple.
👟 Footwear should be suitable for its intended role.
👟 Footwear shouldn't pinch, squeeze or rub or cause pain.

(And yes, that does mean you are allowed to wear Crocs if it fits the above principles!)
If you need advice on what's the best thing for your feet, then give us a call.

As healthcare professionals we have to provide a lot of information in our consultations.

Why? Well, partly it’s because a good amount of the stuff we do is complex, but also there’s the professional regulation piece, where we need to let you know about everything we do and what could happen.

That could lead to a degree of information overload on your part, and we get that. We try to strike a balance between giving you the right information and making sure you can digest it all.

Now you may have a particular way in which you like to receive information and if that’s the case, let us know.

We want to make sure you have all the information you need in order to make the best decision about your care.
