Looking after your feet shouldn’t be the last thing on our mind
With growing waiting lists, local authority clinics and hospitals are increasingly struggling to meet the needs of patients’ foot care requirements. Appointments are seemingly shorter and sometimes symptoms can be overlooked.
Often patients have no option than to seek help and advice for day to day foot care from the private sector. Foot Health Practitioners (FHP’s) play a pivotal role in delivering this service, with many NHS practices referring their patients on, more so now than ever before.
With 80% of the body’s mal-alignment being caused by underlying foot health issues it is clear to see the massive impact that this causes over time. Feet are sadly the most neglected part of the human body but play an extremely significant role. Good foot care is crucial to maintaining a pain free, mobile, independent, happy and healthy lifestyle.
Many people living with sustained pain in ankles, knees, hips, back and neck can be a consequence of the body’s posture compensating due to the biomechanics of the feet. Day to day foot issues like hard skin, corns, ingrowing toenails, fungal nail, collapsing or fallen arches can also contribute to these occurrences.
Foot Health Practitioners can often instantly relieve many years of pain with diagnosis of the underlying cause and a personalised treatment plan.
