All Change- for the Better!

I love running my clinic from my specially purposed home conservatory (28 Langdale Road, Carnforth). Lovely and light, with a separate entrance and accessible ramp, it enables me to provide a caring and professional service which clients find very comfortable and welcoming, as well as maintain a valuable work/life balance.

Slipping Into Summer

Because it’s worked so well, the builders are currently in making it an even better, dedicated, separate clinic space with a permanent roof to keep the heat in (and out!). So for a few weeks all appointments (Mon-Wed) will be held at Nether Kellet Congregational Church Hall, Main Road, Nether Kellet, LA6 1EP. Just 5 minutes’ drive from Carnforth, I chose it for its easy access and parking; a map is on my booking page [link]. I look forward to seeing you there- as we countdown to our smashing new clinic room!

Do Your Feet Deserve a Holiday?

Holiday or staycation, summer is a great time to give your feet some love- and if you’re showing them off in sandals, flip flops, or wriggling bare toes into warm sand, you want twinkletoes to be proud of. Holidays contain a surprising amount of trip hazards for your feet, from unsuitable footwear to spider bites. Hot, sunny weather causes feet to swell, sunburn, sweat and dry out- then add in salty water and stinging sand- so it’s important to stick to good foot hygiene and care routines.

Beating Varrucas

Beating verrucas!

What are verrucas? White-coloured warts with black central dots on the soles of feet that most people will have at some point (so check yours, as well as the kids’!)

Do I need to treat them? Left alone, they can squat for months or years, sometimes causing discomfort, and they are very infectious, so get rid- don’t spread!

How can I banish them? Your chiropodist or pharmacist can supply the appropriate creams, plasters and sprays. Follow the instructions- it can take up to 3 months.

And how to stop them returning? Prevention is better than cure, so always follow a good foot hygiene routine, check regularly, avoid sharing towels, flannels, shoes and socks with other people.

However busy, take a moment to enjoy autumn’s colours and kick some leaves about!
