Lots of parents worry about flat feet, here’s the latest evidence which shows for the majority it’s nothing to be worried about.

Recent evidence suggests it’s normal for young, healthy and active children to have flexible flat feet. And these flat feet will get less flat over time.

How much do you know about Podiatry? Here's five things we bet you weren't aware of!

1) Podiatrists don't only treat feet, but conditions and diseases of the lower limb too!

2) A podiatrist can help your running, cycling, posture - they will analyse your footwear, gait and muscle biomechanics and can help correct any issues with form, or that are giving you pain.

3) The foot accounts for 25% of the bones in the human body!

4) Podiatrists can prescribe certain medication and deliver local anaesthetic.

5) Podiatry has an extremely high employment rate, both on the NHS, privately and abroad!

You can study Podiatry at QMU both at undergraduate and postgraduate level - here's Assistant Lecturer and Podiatrist Neil Pomfret in action in our clinic!
