Most of us will not escape life without experiencing some kind of problem with our feet, and if smelly feet were the only thing we had to worry over, then life would be so much easier.  Our feet are stuck away into dark holes from one end of the day to the other, carrying our weight around, so it’s not unreasonable that from time to time they need a little care.  How many of you have a foot bath in the cupbaord never used?  When is the last time you had a foot rub? Have you ever bought foot massage creams?  The is a multitude of aromatherapy products for feet so why not look after them today?

Parents often take the time to have a baby’s first shoe professionally fitted but as the child develops, shoe fitting becomes less and less of importance.  the truth however, is that the bones in a child’s foot are developing right through up to adulthood, and properly fitting shoes are essential to reduce the likelihood of foot problems later in life.  Simple aids like heel grips and heel cups  as well as small lifts or arch supports, can give feet support as they develop.  And a good quality leather shoe helps the foot breath and reduces foot odur.  Often times, foot problems like fallen arches or flat feet, pronation and even bad foot odor can be traced back to poor footwear or bad early habits.

Almost everyone will at some time experience some disorder of the foot.  Smelly Feet, Athlethes Foot, Ingrown Toenails, or the dreaded Verruca are all very common, but are all very treatable.  Be it a simple Blister, Corn or Callus, to the more painful Hammer Toes (sometimes called claw toes) there are helpful tips and remedies here.  And if you were fit enough to cause yourself a sports injury, we will be discussing various supports and strappings and splints that are available.

We will cover a range of Medicimal Treatments, including Antifungus and Antiseptic creams and ointments, moisturisers for dry skin and cracked heels, and a variety of nail treatments.

Of course prevention is always better than cure, and, with the guidance of your local medical practicioner, a suitable foot orthotic or insole, together with good quality footwear,  can support your feet properly.  Of course insoles, are not just made for medicimal puposes, as there are a variety comfort insoles with extra cushioning, or fleece lined for warmth, or sports performance insoles, deigned to reduce heat and sweaty feet.
