Things I’d NEVER do as a student podiatrist… but hear people doing all the time 👀🦶

🚫 Wear completely dead runners
🚫 Ignore foot pain for months
🚫 Walk barefoot on tiles all day
🚫 Keep exercising through sharp heel pain
🚫 Buy shoes based ONLY on looks
🚫 Wait until I “can’t walk” to get help

Your feet put up with a LOT before they finally start hurting, so when pain shows up, don’t ignore it.

Small habits now can save you from bigger problems later!

Which one are you guilty of? 😭

Flat feet? This is your starting point 👣

Welcome to Part 1 of our flat feet series, where we focus on building strength from the ground up.

This exercise is called the towel scrunch. It targets the small intrinsic muscles in your feet that support your arch (often weak in flat feet).

All you need is a towel!

Place your foot flat on top and use your toes to slowly scrunch the towel towards you. Try to keep your heel down and avoid lifting your whole foot, the movement should come from your toes doing the work.

It might feel a bit awkward at first, or even crampy, that’s normal. These are muscles you probably haven’t used properly before.

Aim for:
2-3 sets
10-15 scrunches
Repeat on each foot

Consistency is key here. Done regularly, this can help improve foot strength, support your arches, and reduce strain through your feet and lower limbs over time.

Save this to stay consistent and follow along for Part 2

This is why we don’t recommend self-treating corns 🚫👣

What started as a “small corn” became an open ulcer after home treatment.

Corns form due to pressure, and cutting, shaving, or using over the counter acids can easily break the skin, increasing the risk of infection, delayed healing, and serious complications (especially for people with diabetes or poor circulation).

If something hurts, keeps coming back, or looks different, it’s worth getting it checked properly.

Corns might seem minor, but they’re your feet’s way of signalling that something isn’t quite right. They form from repeated pressure or friction, often caused by shoes that don’t fit properly or underlying foot mechanics.

If ignored, they can turn into painful spots that make walking uncomfortable and even affect your posture. In this video, we carefully remove the corn, ease the pressure, and give guidance on preventing them from coming back, whether that’s adjusting footwear, adding cushioning, or correcting foot movement.

Treating corns isn’t just cosmetic, it’s about keeping you walking comfortably and protecting your feet in the long term.

Think it’s “just hard skin”? Think again.

That painful spot on your foot that feels like you’re walking on a pebble…
It could be a "corn"
And they don't just magically disappear.

Most people keep:
❌ Rubbing it with pumice stones
❌ Buying “corn pads” from the chemist
❌ Ignoring it until every step hurts

But here’s the truth 👇
Corns and calluses are usually your body’s warning sign that something is putting TOO much pressure on your feet.

The good news?
They can often be removed quickly, safely, and painlessly by an experienced podiatrist👌

Learn:
✅ The difference between corns & calluses
✅ Why they keep coming back
✅ What causes them
✅ The safest treatment options
✅ How to stop the pain for good

Achilles heel pain that won’t go away? It could be Achilles tendinopathy.

If you’re noticing stiffness first thing in the morning, pain just above the heel during or after exercise, or tenderness along the back of your ankle, your tendon may be under more strain than it can handle. This is common in runners, gym goers and anyone on their feet all day.

In this video, we’re demonstrating Achilles taping to help offload the tendon and reduce strain during activity. Taping can be a great short-term support strategy, but long-term improvement comes from addressing the root cause.

At Healthy Life Foot Clinic, we assess your biomechanics, footwear and activity levels, then tailor treatment with strengthening programs, orthotics if needed, hands-on therapy and shockwave for more persistent cases.

Don’t ignore ongoing heel pain. Early treatment means faster recovery and a lower risk of rupture.

Sharp or aching pain through your arch? 👣

Whether it’s first thing in the morning or after a long day on your feet, arch pain is NOT “normal.”

It can be linked to plantar fasciitis, foot posture, muscle weakness, fatigue, or footwear that isn’t doing you any favours.

The good news? The earlier it’s assessed, the easier it is to treat, and prevent from coming back.

If your arches have been bothering you lately, it might be time for a proper check-up👀

Heel pain with your first steps in the morning? That sharp, bruised feeling that eases as you move but flares again after sitting isn’t random.

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes we see at Healthy Life Foot Clinic. It’s usually linked to overload, tight calves, long hours on your feet or unsupportive footwear, and it rarely settles properly if you just push through it.

The good news? When treated early, it responds really well. The key is reducing strain, strengthening properly and fixing the underlying cause, not just masking the pain.

If this sounds like you, it’s worth getting it checked before it becomes chronic!
