Your 60-Second Daily Foot Check 👣
For people living with diabetes, checking your feet every day is a proactive way to manage your long-term foot health. Small changes can happen without you feeling them, so your eyes are your best tool!
The "Daily Four" Checklist:
- Look for Changes 🔍 Check the top, bottom, and sides of both feet. Look for redness, swelling, blisters, cuts, or any new calluses. Tip: Use a mirror on the floor to see the soles of your feet if you find it hard to bend.
- Check Between the Toes 🧼 Gently separate your toes to look for moisture, peeling skin, or cracks. This area is often overlooked but is a common spot for skin breakdown.
- Feel for Temperature 🌡️ Use the back of your hand to feel if one foot (or a specific spot) feels significantly warmer or colder than the rest.
- Inspect Your Shoes 👟 Before putting them on, shake out your shoes and run your hand inside to check for pebbles, rough seams, or torn linings that could cause a rub.
When to contact your Podiatrist?
If you notice any of the following, we recommend booking a clinical assessment promptly:
🔴 A sore or cut that isn't healing.
🔴 New or increasing swelling or redness.
🔴 Fluid or discharge from a wound or callus.
🔴 A sudden change in skin colour or temperature.

Are your heels feeling the effects of summer? ☀️
We have had some beautiful hot days lately, but our team at Pivot Podiatry has noticed an increase in patients seeking care for dry and cracked heels.
While common during "thong season," deeply cracked skin can become uncomfortable and, in some cases, increase the risk of secondary concerns like infection if the skin splits.
If you’ve been spending the summer poolside or at the beach and have noticed your skin is struggling, a professional assessment can help.
Our podiatrists can:
✅ Provide professional debridement to safely manage dry skin layers.
✅ Assess the underlying cause of the cracking.
✅ Provide tailored management strategies to help you maintain your foot health (yes, even if you love your summer footwear!).

Did you know the average student takes over 10,000 steps a day at school? 🎒 That’s a lot of work for growing feet!

Before the first bell rings, make sure their shoes are doing more than just looking good.

At Pivot Podiatry, we look for the 'Big Three' in a school shoe:
1️⃣ Support: Does the heel counter feel firm?
2️⃣ Flex: Does it bend only at the toes (not in the middle)?
3️⃣ Room: Is there a thumb-width of space at the end?

Don't wait for 'growing pains' to start. Book a Back to School biomechanical check today! 🦶✨
