How chiropody can help
Why foot care is important


Mobility and independence are essential to the quality of life and should not be considered a luxury.

It is often the case that we are guilty of neglecting our feet, and letting our foot care routine lapse in the winter months, by hiding our feet away.Skin gets very dry in winter so it is important to moisturise your feet at least once a day.

An important part of foot care is to maintain a steady temperature and not expose your feet to extreme heat or cold.
A good sensible fit for shoes is important and you should have your feet measured at least once a year. It is also recommended that you don’t wear the same pair of shoes every day. Toenails should be cut regularly, straight across, not too short and not down at the corners.
Prevent problems before they occur by visiting your qualified Chiropodist.
