Remember Foot pain is rarely just a foot problem!!

Good luck to all the runners tomorrow! (Sorry about the weather forecast… if we could tape up the clouds and fix the rain, we absolutely would).

During Foot Health Month, I’m reminded that our feet carry us through far more than just miles, they carry us through challenges, growth, purpose and life itself!
Dr Vi McKay and I attended the expo and educated the many runners taking part in the 2026 Stewart McKelvey marathon in Fredericton this Mother’s Day weekend.
While working, networking, supporting patients, cheering on marathon runners and connecting with inspiring podiatry colleagues and health & sport professionals, one thing stood out to me tonight … resilience.
Every step tells a story.�Every challenge builds strength.�Every finish line starts with the courage to begin.
Seeing so many people take on marathons and personal challenges is a powerful reminder that success doesn’t come from standing still, it comes from showing up, even when the road feels long.
As podiatrists and health professionals, we don’t just treat feet; we help people keep moving towards their goals, passions and quality of life. Whether it’s running 26.2 miles, returning from injury, taking the first pain-free walk in years, or simply balancing the demands of work and life — movement matters.

✨ “Take care of your feet, and they’ll take you places you never imagined.” ✨

Here’s to supporting one another, inspiring healthier lives, embracing challenges and continuing to move forward — one step at a time.

May is Foot Health Month 👣

Your feet carry you through life, yet they’re often overlooked. Healthy feet are essential for mobility, balance, independence, and overall well-being.

This month, take a moment to care for the foundation that supports you every day. Prevention, education, and early treatment matter.

Message from the CFPM: If your feet are talking… listen. 👣

Grateful for the power of collaboration and shared expertise.
I’ve been navigating some ongoing challenges with Achilles tendonitis and sciatic pain, i’m incredibly thankful to have such supportive colleagues. Dr. McKay, podiatrist, went above and beyond by providing a comprehensive biomechanical assessment, leading to the decision to move forward with new custom orthotics.
Moments like this are a reminder of how impactful it is to work in an environment where we continuously learn from one another, share knowledge and genuinely support each other’s well-being.
Strong teams aren’t just built on skill, they’re built on trust, generosity and a commitment to lifting each other up. Proud to be part of a profession where collaboration truly makes a difference.McKay Podiatry

Even podiatrists aren’t immune to the occasional injury!
Currently treating myself for a little bout of Achilles tendinitis, good reminder that even when you know all the right things to do, our feet still need care, patience and a little extra TLC. Self-care isn’t just something I recommend to patients, it’s something I practice too.
With spring around the corner and many of us getting ready to lace up our running and walking shoes again, it’s the perfect time to make sure your feet and Achilles are ready for the season ahead. Gradual training, proper footwear, stretching and listening to your body can make all the difference.
If your heel or Achilles has been bothering you, don’t ignore it, early treatment can help keep small issues from turning into bigger ones. I’m here to help you heat up safely for your running and walking season.

Strong women don’t just lead, they lift others with them.
This International Women’s Day, I’m taking a moment to recognize the incredible women I have the privilege of working alongside every day. I feel very proud to work with so many talented, compassionate, driven women in podiatry who consistently bring dedication and excellence to the care of their patients.
I’m fortunate to be surrounded by colleagues who not only inspire me through their work, but who also support and encourage me in reaching my own professional and personal goals. Their teamwork, mentorship, positivity make a real difference, not just in the workplace, but in how we continue to grow and support one another.
Podiatry is all about helping people stay active, mobile and confident on their feet, and it’s inspiring to see so many incredible women making such a meaningful impact in this field every single day.
Today we celebrate their achievements, their leadership and the powerful support they bring to those around them.

New surroundings, focused on your comfort and wellbeing.
After a lot of planning (and a little construction chaos), our podiatry office has officially been renovated! New floors, a new layout, a refreshed design — all with your comfort, flow and overall experience in mind.
A huge thank you to our patients for your patience during the renovation. We know construction isn’t exactly relaxing… but we truly believe the result was worth it!
We’re excited to welcome you into a space that feels more comfortable, more efficient and even more professional, because taking great care of your feet should start the moment you walk through the door. Come see the new look!

Please donate !

I’m running the london marathon for more than distance or time, I’m running for possibility.
I’m raising money for Outward Bound, a charity that gives young people life-changing experiences through outdoor challenges. They help children discover strength they didn’t know they had, confidence they can carry forever and a sense of belonging in the world beyond screens and walls.
This matters deeply to me. I want my boys and every child to grow up knowing that adventure isn’t something reserved for a lucky few. It can start on a hillside, in a forest, or right outside their front door. Exploration builds courage. Nature teaches resilience. And experiences like these can shape a child’s entire future.
Every donation helps give a child the chance to explore, to believe in themselves and to realise the world is bigger and brighter than they ever imagined.
If you’re able to support or share, you’re not just backing a run.
You’re helping raise a generation of confident, curious and courageous children. 🌍💙

Hello, my journey, both in life and now toward the London Marathon has taught me one powerful lesson: no matter how hard things get, progress is always possible if you keep moving forward. One step at
