The best way to prevent foot problems is to wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes, maintain good foot hygiene, and avoid walking barefoot in public places. Regular exercise and a healthy diet can also help keep your feet in good condition.
A Foot Health Practitioner is a trained professional who specialises in diagnosing, treating, and managing various foot and nail conditions. They provide expert foot care to promote healthy feet and address common issues such as skin and nail problems.
Toenails generally need trimming every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on how quickly they grow. Regular trimming helps prevent issues like ingrown toenails, infections, and discomfort.
The frequency of visits to a foot health practitioner depends on your individual needs. Generally, more thorough routine check-ups are recommended every 6 to 12 months, especially if you have ongoing foot conditions, diabetes, or other health concerns affecting your feet. If you experience pain, injury, or any foot-related issues, more frequent visits may be necessary.
Yes, a Foot Health Practitioner can provide routine foot care for patients with diabetes, including toenail trimming and skin treatment. However, any complex or high-risk foot issues should be managed in consultation with your healthcare provider.
If you are immunocompromised, please inform your practitioner before your appointment. They can take appropriate precautions to ensure your safety during treatment and tailor the care accordingly.
Please do not soak your feet immediately prior to your appointment. If soaking is necessary for your condition, your practitioner will advise you during your appointment.
Yes, I can trim your fingernails as part of your foot care appointment.
It’s generally best to have clean, dry feet. Please try to avoid applying lotions or creams on your feet on the day of the appointment. If you have any specific foot concerns or issues, note them down to discuss during your visit. Also, ensure your space is clear for a smooth and efficient appointment.
Yes, we will ask about your medical history, including any health conditions, medications, allergies, or previous foot issues. This information helps us provide the most effective and safe treatment tailored to your needs.

A corn is a small, thickened area of skin that develops as a result of repeated pressure or friction, often on the tops or sides of toes. They are usually hard, central, and can be painful when pressed. Corns commonly occur due to ill-fitting shoes or abnormal foot mechanics.
A callus is a thickened patch of skin that forms in response to repeated friction or pressure, typically on the soles of the feet. Unlike corns, which are usually smaller and have a central core, calluses are broader, flatter, and can cause discomfort if they become thick.
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the toenail grows into the surrounding skin, leading to pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes infection. It most often affects the big toe and can result from improper nail trimming, shoe pressure, or injury.
This is a condition where fungi infect the nails, causing them to become discolored (often yellow or brown), thickened, brittle, and ragged. Fungal infections can be persistent and may require multiple treatments to resolve.
A verruca is a small, rough growth on the skin, commonly found on the soles of the feet. It is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and is contagious. Verrucas can sometimes be painful and may spread to others if not treated properly.
Thickened nails often result from fungal infections, but can also be caused by aging, psoriasis, trauma, or certain medical conditions. They may appear discolored, brittle, or distorted and often require treatment to restore nail health.
Cracked heels are typically caused by dryness, a lack of moisture, or prolonged pressure on the heel area. Other factors include standing for long periods, obesity, eczema, or skin conditions that lead to thickening and fissuring of the skin.
You can cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before your appointment time.
After this, you will be charged 50% of the cost of the appointment, as it is too short notice for me to fill the space.
If I have to cancel your appointment due to any unforeseen circumstance I will reschedule your appointment for as soon as it is convenient for us both.
Thank you for understanding.
