Podiatry/Foot Health

In most cases treatment will be started at your first appointment, and you will require follow up appointments.  Many options will be explored like: chemical therapy ( salicylic acids ), cryotherapy and needling.

As humans we are either static (at rest) or dynamic (moving). Therefore, we assess you in the same ways, we lie you flat and examine your normal joint positions (range and quality of motion) from the hips down and watch you walking or running (called gait analysis)

From these assessments we can see how you walk or run and whether or not the position your joints function in is responsible for causing symptoms such as bunions, corns, calluses, knee pain, ankle pain, shin splints, etc. If the symptoms are caused by abnormal (pathological) function we can attempt to treat the cause of the symptoms.

There are many ways that include: physiotherapy, simple exercises, special taping and strapping, special insoles called orthoses or a change in footwear. To make the orthoses we take a plaster of paris cast and send them to a laboratory with your prescription (the analysis of your mechanics determines the type of insole you require). The orthoses are worn in your shoes or trainers (if prescribed for sports problems) and maintain your feet in their ideal position reducing the need for the body to compensate, therefore, reducing the symptoms you experience.

Professional Callus peels are applied to thick, hard skin and allowed to work for 10-20 mins,  meanwhile toenails are trimmed and cleaned and cuticles are lifted and pushed back off the nail plate.  Once the peel has been left on long enough the softened skin is then gently scraped and buffed away to reveal softer, more pliant skin. To finish you will receive a lower leg (trousers permitting) and foot massage to increase circulation and relax those tired muscles.

Elim is a medical grade pedicure treatment which uses state-of-the-art ingredients to remove hard skin and calluses from the feet. Including foot sanitiser, callus removal, exfoliation, mud mask, warm towel wrap, foot perfection massage and gold spritz. Nail polish included (not gel!!!!!).

Struggling with an ingrown, involuted or excessively curved toenail?

Titanium wire nail correction is a gentle, non-surgical technique designed to gradually encourage the nail to grow into a healthier, flatter shape.

A very fine titanium wire is carefully attached across the surface of the nail. Its natural spring tension creates a gentle lifting force at the sides of the nail, helping to reduce pressure on the surrounding skin and guide the nail as it grows.

This treatment may be suitable for:

Ingrown or recurring ingrown toenails

Involuted or excessively curved nails

Nails that continually press into the surrounding skin

Clients looking for a conservative approach to nail correction

The wire is small and discreet and can normally be worn comfortably inside everyday footwear. Nail correction is a gradual process, so depending on the severity and shape of the nail, further applications or adjustments may be required.

Treatment suitability and results vary depending on the individual nail and underlying cause.
