DVT can happen to anyone, but some factors increase your risk, including:
✔️ Long periods of immobility (travel, bedrest, hospitalization)
✔️ Surgery or injury
✔️ Hormone therapy or birth control pills
✔️ Pregnancy and postpartum period
✔️ Family or personal history of blood clots
✔️ Cancer and certain chronic illnesses

Knowing your risk can help you take steps to protect yourself like moving regularly, staying hydrated, and talking to your doctor about prevention. For more information, visit worldthrombosisday.org

If you've experience a clot before, what risk factors do you wish you'd known?

The high street stores can (and should in my opinion) measure your child’s feet whilst weight bearing just politely request it, no joy just ask for the supervisor and explain, I successfully did this just yesterday 😊

Here’s a few reasons why….

Appointments available to book with Julie ☺️👣

👣 Meet Julie – The Newest Member of Watson Podiatry! 👋

We’re excited to be welcoming Julie to the team at Watson Podiatry from July!

Julie graduated from the Durham School of Podiatry in 2011 and brings with her a wealth of experience from running her own clinic and domiciliary service in Durham, working in Sunderland and Stockton.

After stepping away from podiatry in 2017 to pursue a family venture, Julie is now returning to the profession she loves.

In the meantime, she’ll be practicing as a Foot Health Practitioner with us.

We’re thrilled to have Julie’s experience, compassion, and dedication on board. Please join us in giving her a warm welcome! 💙
