Wonderful Story and exemplary life!
Instep Footcare always encourages staying active!

The importance of weight training and doing 'things' by ourselves: shopping, carrying bags pushing the trolley, gardening will simple strengthen the muscles and encourage bone remodelling thus preventing osteopenia and osteophorosis.

And if we add on structured exercises like Pilates/ less abled bodies - chair- Pilates, weight lifting under instructor's supervision - you will most likely become like Jean, a remarkable older fit lady!

Ah, and let's not forget your Feet! Regular exercises will encourage tiny receptors in your feet responsible for Balance/ Proprioception to stay alert and prevent those hips from breaking!

At 81, Jean Stewart was frustrated by her growing frailty, so she decided to get active. Now 96, push-ups, kettlebell squats and pushing a weight-loaded sledge keep her strong

🦋 Thyroid Awareness Month (UK) | Foot Health Matters 👣

January is Thyroid Awareness Month, and many people don’t realise that thyroid conditions can affect foot health too.

Are you taking drugs such as Thyroxine?
An underactive thyroid can reduce sweat production, leading to anhydrotic (very dry) skin, thickened heels and painful fissures (cracks). These cracks can become sore, split and even bleed if left untreated.

At Instep Footcare Services in East Hoathly, we regularly help patients manage dry, cracked feet linked to medical conditions such as thyroid disorders. We also help you to self care!

👣 Signs to look out for:
• Very dry or flaky skin
• Cracked or split heels
• Hard, thickened skin
• Discomfort when walking

💡 How we can help at Instep Footcare Services:
✔ Professional removal of hard skin
✔ Treatment and management of heel fissures
✔ Advice on appropriate foot care products
✔ Ongoing podiatry care to keep your feet comfortable

If you have a thyroid condition and are struggling with dry, cracked feet, you don’t have to put up with it.
