Marion's Foot Care

25/02/2026

Taking care of your feet can get harder as we get older or if we have mobility issues. That is exactly why I offer a mobile service.

​You do not need to struggle or worry about traveling. I bring everything needed for a complete home visit directly to your living room.

​From nail trimming to hard skin removal I make sure your feet are comfortable and healthy. I always bring a warm smile and make sure you feel completely relaxed and looked after during my visit.

​Send me a message if you or a loved one could use a little help.

Happy Monday. It is a beautiful bright start to the week and I am back on the road.

​As a mobile foot health care practitioner I absolutely love my Monday mornings. Getting out and about to see my wonderful clients for their home visits is the best way to start the week.

​I always look forward to catching up with everyone. Please pop the kettle on if you are my first visit today and we can have a lovely chat over a cup of tea while I sort your feet out.

​If you see me driving around Norwich today give me a wave. And if your feet need some attention just send me a message to get booked in.

This is really interesting

Catherine Gooday, Principal Podiatrist, has been appointed as a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of East Anglia as part of a collaboration with our Trust to expand our research activity.

Catherine said: “I am the first NMAHP (Nurses, Midwives, Allied Health Professionals), in Norfolk to be appointed to one of these roles. I am excited to get started and it is a brilliant opportunity for others to see what it is possible to achieve when you become involved in research.”

Up to 100,000 people develop a diabetic foot ulcer every year. Living with foot ulcers can cause people to experience physical, social, psychological, and financial issues. Foot ulcers can lead to serious complications including infection, hospitalisation and in some cases amputation. Treating foot ulcers costs the NHS in England £1 billion per year. Making sure that we have the right strategies in place to prevent foot complications and effectively treat foot ulcers that do develop is extremely important.

Catherine added: “This role will mean I will have dedicated time to work with people who have experience of diabetic foot ulcers to understand what is important to them. Through this I will be able to co-develop research studies to find more effective ways to prevent and treat foot complications.

“At the moment I am focusing on two research ideas. Firstly, an application for funding to investigate the most effective way to ‘offload’ a diabetic foot ulcer. Current UK practice is to reduce the pressure on diabetic foot ulcers with removable knee-high boots. There is some evidence to suggest that removable ankle-high boots may be as effective as knee-high devices in healing foot ulcers, and that these boots maybe more comfortable to wear. A large definitive trial is needed to provide the evidence to support any change in practice.

“I am also working with a small team to explore whether neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the leg improves blood flow to the foot and whether this increases ulcer healing.
“This appointment gives me the ability to expand my research further and work with colleagues across the Norwich Research Park. Through these collaborations I hope to develop research studies to understand more about the mechanisms of foot ulcer healing and how individuals’ general health and wellbeing contribute to the development of diabetic foot ulcers and whether they heal. Understanding why and how foot ulcers develop could lead to finding more effective or new treatments.

“It's a really great time for everyone to get involved in research. Our Trust is at the forefront of expanding research opportunities. I think that research offers us the opportunity to improve experiences and outcomes for service users and ensure a sustainable healthcare system.”

I was recently sent this lovely video and the poem really made me smile. It felt perfect to share, especially after bumping into the local dog walkers this week.

Whether you are out walking the dogs in the Norwich rain, or just trying to stay warm on the school run, a dry robe really is a lifesaver. We all know how unpredictable the weather can be, and staying warm is so important.

As a foot health care practitioner, my main focus is always making sure your feet are comfortable and pain free. But I also want to make sure you are looking after your whole self during these chilly months. I always love arriving at a home and seeing my clients tucked up nice and warm.

Please enjoy the poem, and I hope it brings a little bit of joy to your day. If you have been out in the cold and your feet are needing some extra care, please do reach out. I would be more than happy to arrange a time to come and see you.

Stay warm and take care.

As a mobile foot health care practitioner, I spend a lot of time driving around Norwich. I see a lot of people out working in the community.

Recently I bumped into the lovely team from Paws in Motion Dog Walking. They handed me one of their cards and we had a great chat.

We talked about how much time we all spend on our feet. They spend all day walking local dogs, and I spend all day making sure people can walk comfortably.

They were kind enough to share my home visit services on their page, so I wanted to return the favour.

If you need someone reliable to take your dog out for a stroll, go and check out their page. I will tag them below.

And if your own feet are hurting on your dog walks, you know who to call.

I had a lot of questions about my kit after my last post.

​It takes a bit of organization to fit a whole surgery into one bag but I have got it down to a fine art now.

​You can see here that everything I need for a full treatment fits inside. I have the drill, the sterile instruments, and the dressings all ready to go.

​You stay in your armchair and I do the rest.

​I have a few slots left for home visits next week if you want to get booked in.

We all know that feeling.

You get through the door, kick the shoes off, and the relief washes over you.

​But if you are counting down the minutes until you can take your shoes off, that is a warning sign.
​Healthy feet should not hurt, even after a long shift.
​That pinch, the burning sensation, or that hard skin rubbing against your heel... it does not go away just because you are barefoot.

​I can fix the root cause in a standard home visit.

​You stay on that sofa. I will sort your feet out.

Send me a message to book your slot for next week.

VERRUTOP SUCCESS STORY👏

This lovely client had suffered with mosaic plantar warts for most of their childhood, spending hundreds of pounds trying all of the over the counter treatments they could possibly try with no success. Does this sound like you? Get in touch today and book in your first Verrutop session.

ℹ️ Verrutop is a new type of wart treatment. Unlike Cryotherapy or other invasive chemical treatments, Verrutop does not act by freezing or burning the tissue. Instead it denatures the viral protein and desiccates the wart tissue, which then falls off the skin, leaving intact skin underneath.

💥 Consistency is key here….regular appointments to debride the lesion and apply the Verrutop, essential daily after care in between appointments (just surgical spirit daily at home!) and this success story could be you.

🔑 Key point to remember is, verrucas are a strain of the HPV virus, so there is no 100% guarantee of full eradication with ANY verruca treatment. However Verrutop’s effectiveness is 90% with an average of 3 sessions and a maximum of 6. So the odds are extremely high!

Can't reach your feet anymore?

​It happens to the best of us. Nails get thicker and backs get stiffer.

​If you are struggling to cut your own nails, please don't use kitchen scissors. It isn't worth the risk of a slip.

​I come to your home so you don't have to move a muscle.

​Message me to book a slot for this week.
