👟 “So… you just cut toenails then?”
One of the biggest misconceptions about podiatry is that it’s all about just feet
The truth? It’s about people❤️👦🚴♀️👱♂️👱♀️🤸♀️
👟🩴🥿Every time I help someone put their shoes on, it’s about so much more than footwear
✨ It’s helping someone stay independent.
✨ It’s giving someone the confidence to get out and socialise again.
✨ It’s helping grandparents run around with their grandchildren.
✨ It’s supporting someone training for their next marathon.
✨ It’s reducing the risk of falls and keeping people moving safely.
✨ It’s helping people continue doing the things they love.
What we’re really doing is helping people maintain their freedom, mobility, confidence and quality of life. 🙌
And while we’re on the subject of shoes… 👟
📋If you have an older relative, take a quick look at the shoes they’re wearing.
🚩 Are the soles worn smooth?
🚩 Are they slipping them on without fastening them properly?
🚩 Are they too loose, too tight, or falling apart?
🚩 Do they have enough grip and support?
Something as simple as the right footwear can make a huge difference to comfort, confidence and fall prevention
Feet are just the starting point ✅
That’s why I love being a podiatrist👣💜
