Foot Respect

What a lovely surprise! 💙

Barnabus Manchester recently presented me with a certificate and some sweets to thank me for my volunteer work with them. It was such a thoughtful gesture and really made my day.

Regular foot care makes such a difference to people's daily comfort and mobility. Maintaining healthy feet consistently prevents bigger problems from developing and helps people stay active and independent 👣

My volunteer work with Barnabus has now doubled, which means I can provide regular to even more people who need it.

Thank you, Barnabus, for recognising all your volunteers and for all that you do for the local rough sleeping community 😊

Summer feet feeling rough? 🦶☀️

Rough, cracked heels are very common during the warmer months. Hot weather, open shoes, bare feet, sand, and pool chemicals create the perfect storm for heel problems that can only get worse without proper care.

But it's not just dry skin causing issues:

👉 How you walk affects heel pressure
👉 Health conditions impact skin healing
👉 Poor shoe choices make things worse

Professional treatment really works for cracked heels! I've got solutions that go beyond shop-bought creams, and you can read all about my advice now in my latest blog post 🙂

When I'm not helping my patients with all their needs and making their feet feel happy and healthy, I'm sometimes in the garden 🌷

💙 This picture isn't my garden (shocking, I know), but it does represent how much I enjoy the outdoors and my garden at this time of year 🌱

In such lovely weather, why not? Get out and about in the sun, and in the right footwear 👟

I always wear Crocs or robust trainers. Wearing the right footwear is essential for any outdoor activity, gardening included!

👉 Have you been outside in the sun much yet? What do you get up to?

Specialist treatments are something I offer at my clinic, and they're very popular!

One of my most popular treatments is the Big Deep Clean 👣

🫧 This treatment includes a warm, soapy soak and a careful hand scrub of your feet by a qualified foot health practitioner. This clears all dead, scaly skin and debris, and is followed by specialist moisturiser.

Ideal for people who can’t reach their feet, or have numbness, mobility and circulation issues. But they're a favourite with everyone!

If you'd like this treatment for your feet today, book via my website 📲

Give your feet some TLC this Summer 💙

Have you heard of Retronychia? 🤔

👣 Retronychia is a nail growth dysfunction at the cuticle of the toenail (typically the big toe). This can lead to inflammation, pain and potential infection.

In some cases, it can also mean multiple nails develop on top of each other 🦶

What are the causes?

➡️ Repeated injury and trauma to the nail can disrupt its growth pattern leading to ingrowth.
➡️ Tight footwear can compress the toe and lead to nail damage.
➡️ Damage to the nail, disrupting growth.

Treatments can include: tidying the dysfunctional nail and skin growth to clear the problem area, managing pain, swelling and infection with medication and occasionally removing the nail.

💙 I’m currently treating a patient with this condition, providing palliative care to manage her Retronychia.

👉 A parent
👉 An adult taking care of their parents
👉 A partner

Or even a grandchild or grandparent looking out for those you love?

Then why not get professional, friendly foot care and maintenance from a family practitioner? 💙
