Myth: “If my feet don’t hurt, they must be fine.”
❌ Wrong. Diabetic nerve damage can reduce sensation - meaning problems can develop silently.

Myth: “Only people with severe diabetes get foot problems.”
❌ Not true. Even well-managed diabetes can affect your feet over time.

Myth: “It’s okay to treat foot issues at home.”
❌ DIY care (like cutting nails or calluses) can lead to infections.

💡 Fact: Prevention and professional care go hand-in-hand.
👨‍⚕️ Regular check-ups can help you avoid serious complications

This one hits different.

You're active and healthy.

But when it comes to foot pain, you feel like you're stuck in quicksand.

You've tried the insoles. Some stretches. Maybe a few YouTube videos.

But no real solution. No lasting relief. No peace of mind.

✅ This client was tired of limping through life.
✅ They weren't just sore. They were sidelined.
✅ We helped them address the root cause, build strength, and finally get results that lasted.

You don't need another temporary fix.

You need a plan.

🦶 Diabetic foot care DOs and DON’Ts:

✅ DO:

✔️ Wear clean, seamless socks

❌ DON’T:
❌ Walk barefoot
❌ Use heating pads
❌ Attempt to remove corns or calluses yourself

Good foot care helps prevent infections, ulcers, and long-term complications.

Have diabetes? Make daily foot checks part of your routine. 🦶💪

Here’s how to do it in 3 minutes or less:
1️⃣ Wash and dry your feet (especially between toes)
2️⃣ Check for cuts, blisters, redness, or swelling
3️⃣ Look at the soles using a mirror or ask for help
4️⃣ Moisturise (but avoid between the toes)
5️⃣ Don’t forget to inspect your shoes too!

Prevention starts at home - and small checks can make a huge difference.

🪓 Well that was epic!

We headed to Maniax Knox City today and discovered we've got some serious axe-throwing legends in the team! Kara, Trang and Mariah were absolutely smashing it - like they've been doing this for years! 😂

Meanwhile, Ashwini was too zen to channel her inner warrior (we love that peaceful energy though! 💕)

BUT plot twist - we ALL managed to nail at least one bullseye! 🎯

Nothing beats team bonding with a side of friendly competition. Already planning our next adventure!

🧦👟 The perfect winter pair: socks + shoes that protect your feet.

Here’s what to look for this winter:
✔️ Socks: warm, breathable, moisture-wicking (wool or bamboo blends are great!)
✔️ Shoes: waterproof, roomy, and supportive - no tight fits or flat soles

Avoid cotton socks (they trap moisture) and ditch shoes that pinch or rub.
Cold, damp feet? That’s a fast track to blisters, cracked skin, or fungus.

Not sure what to wear? We can help you choose the best winter footwear for comfort, circulation, and support.

🦠 Think fungal infections are just for summer? Think again.

Fungus thrives in warm, damp conditions—like inside your winter boots.
That means athlete’s foot, fungal nails, and itchy toes are all still active during cold months.

🔹 Change your socks daily
🔹 Dry between your toes after showers
🔹 Let shoes air out properly

If your feet are itching, peeling, or your nails are changing colour—don’t ignore it.
We’ve got treatment options that work.
