Good morning!
I arrived back in the UK the early hours of this morning after a much-needed holiday with my family 🏖️✈️

I’ve seen lots of calls, messages and emails on my phone since I’ve been away and I will be getting back to everyone over the next few days 👣

Please bear with me! I’m still on Greek time! 😂

👣✨ Thickened Nails ✨👣

I've seen so many thickened nails this week, I thought I'd do a little information post!

Thickened toenails are very common, especially as we get older, but they can affect people of any age.

There are lots of reasons why nails can become thickened, including:
• Previous trauma or injury to the nail
• Fungal nail infections
• Repeated pressure from footwear
• Certain medical conditions
• Natural ageing

Whilst thickened nails can sometimes be a cosmetic concern, they can also cause discomfort and lead to problems if left untreated. As the nail becomes thicker, it can create increased pressure on the nail bed and surrounding tissues, making shoes uncomfortable and, in some cases, leading to skin breakdown or ulceration.

The good news is that your Foot Health Practitioner can help. Using specialist equipment, thickened nails can be safely reduced and thinned down, helping to relieve pressure, improve comfort and make nails much easier to manage.

If you're struggling to cut your nails, they're becoming uncomfortable, or you're simply concerned about them, don't ignore them. See you local FHP. Your feet will thank you! 😊

👣 Please read 👣

My apologies to anyone who has called or messaged me in the last 5 days.

Due to a bereavement I have been spending some time with my family, which has meant that work has temporarily taken a back seat.

I will work through the messages soon, but please bare with me through this difficult time.

Many thanks
Heather

📚🦶🏻Today is a learning day for me! 🦶🏻📚

I'm attending The Primary Care Show today and tomorrow, taking the opportunity to learn from a range of lectures and discussions covering feet, foot conditions, patient care, and the latest developments in treatment.

👣 As a Foot Health Practitioner, continuing professional development (CPD) is an important part of what I do. It helps me keep my knowledge up to date, stay informed about new research and treatment approaches, and ensure I'm providing the best possible care for my patients.

👩🏻‍🎓 There's always something new to learn in foot care, and I genuinely enjoy taking the time to expand my knowledge and skills. The more I learn, the better equipped I am to help the people who trust me with their foot health.

Looking forward to a couple of interesting and informative days!
Let’s see how many free pens and leaflets I end up coming home with! 😂

✨👣 New chair day! 👣✨

If you’ve been to see me in clinic recently, you’ll know just how excited I’ve been about finally getting a new clinic chair 😂

I’ve also had a little move around in the clinic, added some bits to the walls, and given everything a freshen up, so I’m all set and ready for patients this week.

It’s starting to feel nice and cosy, and I’m hoping my patients feel the same!

Here’s a little video tour of the clinic for anyone who’d like a peek inside! 👀✨

🦶✨ A day full of corns! ✨🦶

It’s definitely been one of those days where corns have been the theme, so I thought I’d share a little info about them!

Corns are areas of compacted, hardened skin that build up and press into the foot, usually caused by ongoing pressure or friction. They often appear on the toes or soles, and even very small ones can dig in and become quite painful 😣

The good news is they’re usually quick and straightforward to relieve with the right treatment. Seeing a Foot Health Practitioner means they can be safely reduced, helping to ease discomfort and get you back to walking comfortably again 👣

If you’re noticing any sore spots, tenderness, or areas of hard skin that don’t feel quite right, it’s always worth getting them checked sooner rather than later.

School run done ✅
Ready for a new week ahead, adding a splash of colour on the way with my new work shoes (Skechers obviously 😉) 🌈👣
