Wow what an incredible two days!

I travelled to Liverpool to attend The Foot & Ankle Show the UKs largest gathering for professionals dedicated to foot and ankle medicine and care, blending education, innovation and industry networking.

What did I receive/do...

• Clinical education – practical talks on foot and ankle conditions, treatments, rehabilitation and clinical best practice.
• Workshops & hands-on sessions – skills training and demonstrations.
• Exhibition hall – companies and organisations showcasing the latest products, tools and technologies for foot health.
• CPD credit opportunities – i earned continuing professional development points for my participation.


It was an absolute pleasure to meet some of the speakers in real life rather than via social media especially Foot.Expert who I have followed for a long time.
Thrivebusinesscoaching - katie you have completely changed my outlook on my business.
Bailey Instruments, thank you for my new tools, can't wait to try them.

Lovely bumping into a another FHP Lynn owner of Medi-Bliss who I met a few years ago up north on a course.

A special thank you to Louise Victoria Allen FHP owner of Serenity FootCare for attending the show with me. We have certainly networked, checked out the new companies, and most of all updated our knowledge to give our clients the best treatment.
Thank you to all the podiatrists I met over the last two days that don't look at FHPs as competition, and are supporting.

What an incredible trip 👣

Daryl came to try and have his nails clipped today, unfortunately I had to turn him away - I was fully booked 🐢

"My nails are too long. They are hurting my toes, iv had to cut my slippers."

The slippers are clearly too small. The large toe should have extra space in the toe box area to move around, let alone hanging over the edge.
This new client got these as a gift from a family member and didn't want to throw them, so cut holes.

When buying for family members, please make sure they have the correct size - but most of all, space around the toes, pointy slippers are the worst! Ingrown nails can start from Ill fitting footware.
As we get older, so do our feet.

To my clients,

It's hit that time - where I am struggling to get your regular '6-8 week' appointments in the diary. At the moment, it's looking around 10- 12 weeks. It's not because iv taken on too many clients.
I want to assure you that from May, I'll be back on track. Socially between March - May, I'm away 4 times & and Easter holidays thrown in.
Thank you for understanding.
If you wish you book more than one appointment in advance to secure your dates/times preferred, you're more than welcome 🙂

🌹 𝔽𝕖𝕓𝕦𝕒𝕣𝕪 🌹

Roses are red, love can't compete,
Nothing steals hearts like flawless feet.
This valentine, fall head to toe,
In pampered feet that steal the show.

Clients undergoing chemotherapy should not receive scalpel treatment because chemotherapy can significantly suppress the immune system and impair the body's ability to heal.

This increases the risk of infection, delayed wound healing & excessive bleeding from minor skin breaks.

Chemotherapy can have a massive effect on your feet, nails detaching/breaking, extreme splits in the skin, and dry/peeling feet.

For the patients safety, I do not use a scalpel during chemotherapy - however, I take extra safe measures during your appointments.

What is Morton’s Neuroma?

It’s a thickening/irritation of a nerve in the forefoot, most often between the 3rd and 4th toes. Despite the name, it’s not a true tumor—it’s more like an angry, compressed nerve.
Common Causes
Morton’s neuroma usually develops from repeated pressure or irritation on the nerve.

Main contributors:
👟 Tight or narrow shoes (especially high heels)
🏃 High-impact activities (running, court sports)
🦶 Foot structure issues
Flat feet
High arches
Bunions or hammertoes
⚖️ Excess body weight
🔁 Repetitive stress on the forefoot
Typical Symptoms

People often describe very specific sensations:

🔥 Burning pain in the ball of the foot
⚡ Sharp, shooting pain into the toes
🪨 Feeling like you’re “walking on a pebble”
🧦 Tingling or numbness in the toes
Worse when wearing tight shoes, better when barefoot.

Treatment Options
✅ Conservative (First-Line) Treatments
Most people improve without surgery.
• Footwear changes
• Wide toe box
• Low heels
• Cushioned soles
• Orthotics or metatarsal pads
• Reduce pressure on the nerve
• Activity modification
• Reduce high-impact exercise temporarily
• NSAIDs
• For pain and inflammation
• Ice & rest

𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝘼𝙢 𝙄?

Hey, I'm Sophie. I am not a chiropodist, or, podiatrist, or chiropractor 😅

I am a trained Foot Health Practioner & I have been trained for almost 9 years!

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝘀 𝗮 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿?

A Foot Health Practioner is a trained healthcare that provides routine, preventative, and maintenance footcare. Primarily keeping the feet comfortable and free from foot problems.

I/FHPs do not diagnose medical conditions or perform surgical procedures. My role is centered on foot health maintenance and early identification of issues that may require early referral to another professional.

As a Foot Health Practioner, we have core responsibilities...

👣 Routine Foot care - Nail cutting, managing thickened nails, and preventing ingrown nails. Removal of hard skin, reduction of corn, treatment of cracked heels. Advice of creams to use. Identifying skin conditions, fungal nails
& recognizing when a referral is required.

👣 Preventative Foot Health - I/we play a key role in preventing complications by monitoring foot condition changes, identifying early warning signs, or pressure points/ skin breakdown. Advising on foot hygiene, supporting individuals with limited mobility for the best way to do self care.
This is particularly important to high-risk clients such as diabetics or circulatory problems.

👣Basic Assessment & Observation - While I/we do not diagnose medical conditions, I am trained to observe the foot structure and skin conditions. Identify poor circulation, neuropathy, infection, and pressure damage.

I have a Foot Health Diploma, ongoing CPD training, and extra training every year to make sure I have the best knowledge of my clients.

You can find me on the Foot Health Register http://footreg.org/

Hope this gives people an insight on what I/we actually do 🙂

You visit.
You have a chat.
You drink your drink.

But did you check their feet?

I get phone calls from family members, and the first sentence is "i saw their feet for the first time & I was shocked."

I fined in older people (from experience) they don't want to trouble family/friends. They become embarrassed and tend to just cover them in their slippers when they have visitors.
Always remind the older people there's nothing to be ashamed about asking for help too big or too small of a job.
