Bedford - did you know painful feet can change the way your whole body moves?” 👣

When your feet hurt, your walking pattern often changes without you realising.
And that can lead to knee pain, hip discomfort, lower-back aches, and even long-term posture problems.

One of the biggest culprits?
⚠️ Poorly fitting or unsupportive footwear.

Over time, the wrong shoes can cause:
• Corns
• Calluses
• Blisters
• Pressure injuries
• Worsening foot pain
• Increased strain on joints higher up the body

Your feet are your foundation, and the right footwear makes all the difference.

✨ Need help choosing the right shoes?

Our HCPC-registered podiatrists at MyFootMedic in Bedford offer professional footwear assessments to help you:

✔ Walk comfortably
✔ Reduce pressure and friction
✔ Support natural movement
✔ Stay active and pain-free

Small changes in footwear can create big improvements in how you feel every day.

Bedford - you treat your face and your hair… but what about the part of you that works the hardest?” 👣

During Self-Care Week, it’s easy to focus on skincare, haircare, and relaxation, but your feet deserve the same attention.
They carry you thousands of steps a day around Bedford, at work, at home, and everywhere in between.

If you’ve been meaning to show them a little love, here’s a simple ritual you can do tonight:

✨ The Ultimate 15-Minute Foot Reboot

🛁 1. Warm foot soak
Use warm water with Epsom salts or a couple of drops of essential oil.
Great for softening skin and easing tension.

🧽 2. Gentle exfoliation
Use a mild scrub to remove dead skin.

💆 3. Moisturise & mini-massage
Apply a urea rich foot cream and massage it in. Add a few slow ankle circles to loosen stiff muscles.

🧦 4. Lock in hydration
Pop on cotton socks to help the moisturiser absorb fully.

✨ That’s it! Simple, soothing, and your feet will feel completely refreshed.

If you’re dealing with persistent aches, hard skin, nail problems or anything that doesn’t quite feel right, our podiatrists are here to help.

Bedford - ever noticed your feet smell a bit… cheesy? There’s a real scientific reason for it!” 🧀👣

Foot odour isn’t just your imagination - it’s caused by specific skin bacteria that thrive in warm, moist environments.
The key culprit? Brevibacterium. The same bacteria used to make Limburger cheese.
Yes, really. That classic “cheesy smell” happens because the bacteria on your feet produce the same compounds found in certain cheeses.

So if your shoes (or someone in your house!) occasionally smell like a deli counter… now you know why.

But here’s the good news 👇

🦶 Foot odour is treatable, and we help Bedford patients manage it every week.
We can assess:
• Excessive sweating
• Skin and nail hygiene
• Footwear influences
• Bacterial/odour causes
• Effective at-home management

If foot odour is affecting comfort or confidence, we’re here to help - kindly, professionally, and without judgement.

It’s Stress Awareness Week, and sometimes tension shows up in unexpected places- like your feet!

Stress can cause:
🦶 Foot clenching

🤔 Confused about the difference between a podiatrist and a chiropodist? You’re not alone!

At MyFootMedic, we get asked this a lot. Here’s the simple truth: they’re essentially the same profession!

The term “chiropodist” is the older, traditional British title, while “podiatrist” is the more modern, international term that reflects the broader scope of our work.

📅 What changed?
In the UK, the profession officially adopted “podiatrist” as the protected title in 1993.
This shift recognised that foot specialists do far more than just treat corns and calluses.
“Podiatrist” better represents our advanced training in biomechanics, surgery, and musculoskeletal health.

Both titles remain legally protected in the UK - meaning all podiatrists and chiropodists must be qualified and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). ✅

What really matters isn’t the title but the qualifications and expertise behind it. At MyFootMedic, all our professionals are highly trained to care for your feet and lower limbs comprehensively.

Whether you call us podiatrists or chiropodists, our goal stays the same: to keep you healthy, comfortable, and active, so you can enjoy life without foot pain holding you back! ✨

🍂 As October brings cooler temperatures, your feet need extra care to stay healthy and comfortable! 💙 At MyFootMedic, we notice certain foot problems tend to increase as the seasons change.
Cold weather often leads to:

❄️ Dry, cracked heels and skin due to less moisture in the air
😣 Chilblains - painful, itchy swellings caused by poor circulation in cold conditions
🦶 Increased foot pain for those with arthritis as temperatures drop
🧦 Fungal infections from feet being enclosed in boots and less breathable footwear

⚠️ What if you do nothing? Cracked heels can worsen and even get infected, while poor circulation in cold weather may lead to serious complications, especially for people with diabetes.

Our autumn foot care tips:
✨ Moisturise daily with a urea-based cream (we stock these in clinic!)
✨ Warm cold feet gradually — avoid direct heat which can damage skin
✨ Wear insulated, waterproof footwear outdoors
✨ Choose breathable socks made from natural fibers like wool or bamboo
✨ Stay active to keep your circulation strong as the weather cools

Biomechanical issues may become more noticeable this season as you switch footwear and activity levels. If you’re experiencing new or increased foot pain, book a comprehensive assessment with us! 🙋‍♀️

🤔 Wondering what exactly a podiatrist does?

At MyFootMedic, we’re specialists in foot and lower limb health, but our expertise goes far beyond treating corns and toenails!

A podiatrist is a highly trained healthcare professional who diagnoses, treats, and helps prevent conditions affecting the feet and lower limbs. Here's just a snapshot of what we do:

🦶 Skin & nail conditions: Corns, calluses, verrucae, and ingrown toenails
🚶‍♀️ Biomechanics: Analysing how your feet and body moves and bears weight during walking or running
🦵 Musculoskeletal issues: Sporting and non-sporting injuries and pain, such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, bunions and knee issues linked to foot function
🧦 Diabetic foot care: Preventative care, monitoring and treatment, essential education
🦻 Orthotic therapy: Custom insoles to improve foot function and reduce pain
🏃 Sports injuries: Helping you recover and enhance performance

😣 Ignoring foot pain can lead to compensations in how you move, often resulting in discomfort in your knees, hips, or back, and limiting your quality of life.

✨ Our goal? To keep you healthy, comfortable, and active, doing the things you love without being held back by foot pain.
