Fat pad atrophy (or fat pad syndrome) is the reduction of the fat pad in the balls of the feet, which causes thinning of the protective cushioning that sits under the bones. More common in older people, it can cause significant pain when walking as the shock absorption from the fatty tissue is reduced.
Caused by age, collapsed long bones lead to increased pressure wearing out the fad pad over time, but the ongoing wearing of high heels & walking barefoot or wearing very thin soles shoes may exacerbate condition. Those with high arches may also suffer more as high arches create more pressure on the ball of the foot; those with rheumatoid arthritis causing clawing of the toes, and those with neuropathy (often caused by diabetes). And, although men and women can suffer equally, footwear choices make women more susceptible to developing pain and callouses on the ball of the foot.
WHAT HELPS?
🦶 Wear heels under an inch high
🦶 Avoid walking barefoot Wearing good supportive footwear , orthotics with adequate shock absorption
🦶 Talk to a foot healthcare professional about the variety of padding / metatarsal supports available. See less

Just returned from my holiday and my feet really needed some TLC from walking in the heat, being in the sea with the rocky surfaces. If you feel the same why not treat yourself to a Foot Healthcare session.

It is very rare to have both feet the same size; one of them is often bigger than the other. With that in mind, the shoes you wear can affect each foot differently. Do you have nagging pain in either or both feet? Regular maintenance of your foot health can alleviate it. I have home visits and clinic slots available. Get in touch below or call/ message 07831 662191.

FOOT HEALTHCARE DOMICILIARY VISITS covering routine foot care such as cut and file nails, corns, callus, Lacuna fungal nail treatment, foot massage, medical pedicure, thickened nails and more.
FOOT HEALTHCARE CLINICS IN LONDON COLNEY AND Verulam Pharmacy, King Harry Lane, St Albans.
In 2016, having qualified in beauty and providing natural hand and foot nail treatments for 15 years prior, I wanted to focus more on the medical side of looking after feet. This was borne from my own natural interest in health & wellbeing, together with clients often presenting with medical issues when booked in for pedicures. Combining this with my genuine and natural interest in helping to care for others, studying to become a Foot Healthcare Professional seemed the clear path for me. I studied with the Smae Institute in Maidenhead and was awarded the qualification MCFHP MAFHP with Merit.
