We might think of stress as something that lives in our busy heads or racing hearts 🌀

But every day here in the clinic we see it where it eventually lands: in our bodies.

Stress can impact us in many ways with varying signs and symptoms, from physical pain to mental exhaustion. Too often we live with these discomforts that become our 'normal'.

Read more about how we can support you through periods of stress from head to toe in this week's blog: https://www.holistichealthhackney.co.uk/stress-less-it-starts-at-your-sole/

750,000 women. 💔

According to the latest RCOG reports, the gynaecology waiting list in the UK is now so long it would stretch from London to Exeter.

At Hackney Podiatry & Health, we find this unacceptable. Women’s health has been sidelined for too long, and as a woman-owned clinic, we are here to provide the proactive care you deserve.

From Acupuncture and Colonic Hydrotherapy to specialist Pre/Post-Natal Massage, we provide care that doesn't involve a years-long wait. Even Podiatry here is different: Tracy builds cyclical health info into your plan, because age and hormones impact your whole body.

If you're feeling lost and stuck on your way forward, Tracy offers free 15-minute consultations to help you navigate your options and regain control.

It's World Health Day 💗

And as your local multi-disciplinary health clinic there's a lot we could say today, but as a Podiatry-led practice we want to start from the bottom: your feet.

Here at Hackney Podiatry & Health, we believe that your feet are the foundation of your entire well-being. A Foot Health Practitioner or Podiatrist doesn't just treat symptoms: we safeguard your mobility, ensure your independence, and look at the whole person behind the feet.

The best care can be received when a patient feels seen and understood. We know that foot health is a vital part of your overall vitality, and our care looks like:

👣 Barefoot Education to develop proprioception (your body's sense of where it is in space) which is essential for balance and preventing falls as you age.

👣 Hormonal Support for those navigating perimenopause, where changes in ligaments can lead to plantar fasciitis or bunion flare-ups.

👣 Personalised Biomechanical Assessments to identify the ‘ripple effect’ where foot pain might be causing your lower back pain or headaches.

👣 Specialised Care for children’s growing feet, neurodivergent patients, and those in hormonal transitions who require a flexible, sensitive approach.

Whether you are a runner or a new mother, we tailor our strategies to your unique life stage so that you can stay active and independent.

Don’t wait until discomfort limits your lifestyle - invest in your longevity today.

It's Stress Awareness Month - and beyond awareness, this month we're putting our practitioners and therapies front and centre as a reminder of the great impact they can have on patients' lives and wellbeing.

First up, a message from our busy Foot Health Practitioner, Amy 👣

"April is Stress Awareness Month, a great reminder that stress doesn’t just affect our minds, it can have a real impact on our bodies, including our feet. As a foot health practitioner, I often see how stress can contribute to issues such as muscle tension, poor circulation, and even changes in the way we walk or stand, which may lead to discomfort or pain. Taking small steps to manage stress- like staying active, practicing relaxation techniques, and wearing supportive footwear can make a meaningful difference to both overall wellbeing and foot health.

In my role, I have also seen firsthand how improving foot health can help reduce stress. For example, a patient once came in with persistent foot pain that was affecting their sleep and daily activities, leaving them feeling increasingly overwhelmed. Through routine care and advice on appropriate footwear, we were able to ease much of their discomfort. As their pain improved, they reported feeling more relaxed, sleeping better, and better able to cope with everyday life. They were able to get back to exercising/ running. This highlights how looking after your feet is an important part of looking after your overall wellbeing, especially during times of increased stress."

👣 You can book in with brilliant Amy every Thursday in our bright and welcoming Broadway Market clinic:

We've entered 'British Summer Time', the blossom opposite the clinic has returned and al fresco dining season is rearing its head on Broadway Market.

It’s hard to spring forward when your internal battery is at 10%. If you’re struggling with midday slumps or feeling unusually exhausted by a jog through Victoria Park, your Vitamin B12 levels might be the culprit.

Solve the pain puzzle with a Biomechanical Assessment 🧩

Ever thought your chronic headaches or lower back pain could be linked to how you walk, stand, sit on the sofa or get into your vehicle?

During this comprehensive assessment with our Lead Podiatrist, Tracy carefully examines your entire body - from head to toe. She often likens this process to solving a complex jigsaw puzzle, piecing together the physical habits a patient has developed over time, and identifying how these contribute to their pain.

Whether you're training for a marathon or just looking to increase your step count this spring - if you're struggling with long-lasting pain, this could be the appointment for you.
