We all have been touched by this horrible disease one way or another…This is our first ever charity coffee morning and I am pleased to say was very successful. In addition to the coffee and homemade cakes we decided that a raffle would raise extra money. All the guests went home with a prize and a slice of a yummy cake (or two) for the loved ones that couldn’t attend.Thank you Val for hosting the Biggest Coffee Morning and Sharon for baking the cakes…and everyone else for helping me to raise £136!We will do it again next year🙂

GIVE YOUR TOENAILS A BREAK FROM POLISH
GIVE YOUR TOENAILS A BREAK FROM POLISH, NAILS NEED TO BREATHE!
It’s not a good idea to leave nail polish continuously on your toes all summer. They need a break.
The danger with keeping your nail polish on too long is that the pigment in the nail polish can soak into the top few layers of the nail and dry it When that happens, yeast, bacteria, mold and mildew can develop underneath the nail plate, which can lead to long-term problems. By removing the polish from your toenails, you expose the surface of your nails to the air. This literally allows them to breathe and keeps them healthy ☀️👣
If you think you may have fungal nail infection or any other foot health concerns give me, your Foot Health Practitioner in Thanet a call or message me to make a home visit appointment.
Enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend 👣☀️🌺

These Magic slides keep me pain free
You probably think I’m totally nuts spending £45 on a pair of sliders-look-a-like! Well, if you ever suffered with heel pain you know that you’d never compromise when buying footwear! I suffer with Plantar Fasciitis and cannot wear ‘normal’ shoes anymore! Thank you thank you#ShoeMed for keeping me out of pain 👣💓👟
PS the slides are designed for after sport recovery. I now am worried I might be addicted to them, really don’t want to take them off!!
Podiatrist or Foot Health Practitioner – whats the difference?
Podiatrist or Foot Health Practitioner?
Podiatrist and FHP’s both work in the same field, but do very different work. Let me explain the difference to help you decide what’s best for you.
Podiatrist, Chiropodist and Foot Health Practitioners are similar
Yes, it’s confusing isn’t it?
Most people know that chiropodists look after feet. It’s 2019 and things have moved along in the foot care game. We now have ‘Podiatrists’ and “Foot Health Practitioners’.
The simple way to understand it it to think that Podiatrists are the new Chiropodists and Foot Health Practitioners do the maintenance to keep feet healthy.

Are your feet ready for the summer?
The UK weather is slowly improving and people are beginning to enjoy the outdoors again.
Are your feet ready to be exposed?
Why not give your feet and toes a little love this year and treat them to some foot health care?
I want you to feel good about your feet and be confident that they are in the best condition that they be.
I have a range of services I can offer that could really help improve your summer.
Nail Cutting
Cutting nails correctly is important in preventing future problems. It can also be troublesome to people with failing eyesight or poor mobility.
Callus & Corn Removal
Corns are specific areas of pain and are mostly found on the ball of the foot, tops and between toes. Callus is a general layer of thick hard skin. Both conditions can be treated and relief from discomfort is immediate
Fungal Treatment
Fungal problems can affect skin or nails and can be unsightly. Skin can become itchy red and flaky, whilst nails can become brown and crumbling and thickened. The nails may need to be reduced for treatment to work efficiently.
Cracked Heels & Fissures
Although this may be seen as a cosmetic problem, severe cracks in the skin can occur through several layers of the skin. This can be very painful, and sometimes get infected.
Verrucas
These are caused by a virus. Sometimes appearing on high pressure areas of the foot these can be painful. Verrucas can be managed until the body recognises the virus and they disappear.
