Why does foot shape matter? 👣

The comfort of your feet relies on various aspects of how well your footwear fits your feet.

Length, width, material, fastening type and foot shape are all key factors in ensuring that your feet and toes have enough room to naturally spread, without pinching, squeezing or rubbing.

Refreshing my padding and taping skills! 😃
I'm pleased to have just completed CPD (continued professional development) on padding and taping. Both padding and taping can help provide temporary biomechanics correction, relocate pressure from painful areas, shield and protect areas of the feet and so support both acute and chronic issues, so they're really useful for helping some of my clients' feet.

As a fully qualified foot health professional I always aim to keep my own knowledge current to enable me to treat my clients' in the best way possible and also to know when I need to refer clients' on.

I provide professional, friendly foot care in the comfort of your own home in Thorverton, Silverton and surrounding villages. Call me on 07740 333743 or email ClaireNFootCare@gmail.com if you'd like more information.

This is a crazy number! Foot health professionals and podiatrists can give you advice and treatment for ingrowing toenails. They can be extremely painful and the earlier they are seen the better. Often they can be managed conservatively if caught early and if surgery is needed then a podiatrist can help.

NHS England reported 3,890 ingrown toenails presented at A&E last winter. Podiatrists are the experts in foot and lower limb care and can provide specialist care for ingrown nails, including minor surgery to resolve them. Check with your local NHS for podiatry access criteria or find your nearest private podiatrist at https://rcpod.org.uk/find-a-podiatrist and save A&E for the critical care.

It’s World Diabetes Day today. If you have diabetes it’s particularly important you take care of your feet.

Some basic steps for diabetic foot care:
1. Check your feet every day including between your toes - If you can’t see your feet use a small mirror or ask someone else to take a look for you.
2. Wash your feet - Wash your feet daily and dry carefully, particularly between your toes.
3. Wear properly fitting socks and footwear - Shoes and socks that fit correctly will help keep your feet healthy.
4. Moisturise your feet - Moisturise daily but avoid putting cream between your toes.
5. Get expert advice from a healthcare professional.

Diabetics are more at risk of complications that can lead to significant foot and lower limb issues. As a foot health professional I am qualified to look after diabetic feet.
