🍂👣 Seasonal Foot Health 👣❄️

As the seasons change, so do the challenges for our feet!

With Autumn rolling in, we get cooler weather, rainy days, and the return of closed-toe shoes - and that’s when we start to see more foot problems popping up. 🍁👟

Did you know that around 70% of people in the UK deal with foot issues linked to wet, slippery conditions at this time of year? 🌧️👣

NICE also notes a 25% rise in ankle sprains during Autumn, so those damp pavements really can catch you out! 🤕🦶

As we move into Winter, things don’t get much easier. The NHS reports a 30% increase in cold-related foot problems, while RoSPA found that icy conditions cause around 30% of all winter slip-and-trip accidents in the UK. ❄️🧊

🩸It’s Diabetes Awareness Month!

It’s so important to know what to look for and where to go to get help 💙

Diabetes is a condition where the body can’t properly regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels - either because it doesn’t produce enough insulin, or because the body doesn’t use it effectively.

Over time, high blood sugar can affect many parts of the body - including your eyes, nerves, kidneys, heart, and feet.

That’s why regular foot checks and good daily care are so important❗️

Throughout this month, we’ll be sharing:
 👣 What signs to look out for in your feet
 💡 Top tips for keeping them healthy

Stay tuned and follow along to keep your feet - and your health - one step ahead 💪🏼

Things my Osteopath hears a lot… 👂🏼✨

1️⃣ We hear this one a lot!
Don’t wait for things to get worse - nip it in the bud early.
Our goal is to keep you moving, feeling good, and doing the things you love for longer 💪🏼🏃‍♀️

2️⃣ It’s great that you’re curious about your symptoms! 🤔
But Googling can often lead to worst-case scenarios and make you feel worse than necessary.
During your appointment, we’ll ask specific questions, carry out tests, and explain what’s really going on 🩺✅
Let us do the hard work - that’s what we’re here for 🔍🙌🏼

3️⃣ We hear this a lot - you’re not alone! 😌
Doing your rehab outside of appointments is what really helps you feel better, faster 🏋️‍♀️✨
Try making your exercises part of your daily routine - even a few minutes a day can make a big difference 💫

4️⃣ Your back is strong! 💪🏼
What you’re feeling is usually joint stiffness or muscle tension, not something “out of place” 🌀
We sometimes use a technique called HVT (or what most people call a “click”) to restore movement and ease discomfort 🤲🏼
That clicking sound? Just a small release of gas within the joint - not bones being put back in ✅
