Happy Easter, Happy Spring, Happy Happy Everything………to all of my wonderful patients, have a lovely long weekend wherever your feet take you 👣 🐣 🐰

Fun Foot Fact for the First of the month……
What do your shoes tell you about your Feet? 👣
Look at the soles and heels of your shoes, they will tell you a story. Why do they always wear out in the same places? 👟 👞 👡
The wear pattern is the clue to how you walk and where you place the most pressure as you do. This will usually coincide with the area you have problems in your feet. Problems such as:
🦶 Hard Skin or Callus
🦶 Corns
🦶 Heel Pain
🦶 Aching Arches
🦶 Knee & Lower Back Pain

If you are suffering from repeated symptoms of any of the above conditions, it may be worth getting an assessment from a Foot Health Practitioner, I can advise you on footwear as well as treating the condition. An appointment is much more than having your toe nails clipped. 👣 Tel or Text 07467 093215

Fun Feet Fact for the First of the Month……
Did you know your fingernails grow faster than your toenails? Have you noticed that a damaged big toenail takes forever to grow out?

The reasons…….
Fingernails can grow up to twice as fast as toenails. This is because toenails receive less blood flow, because they are further from the heart and they experience more pressure from walking and footwear.

A toenail journey entails:
1 - 4 weeks: a thin protective layer forms over the nail bed.
2 - 3 months: you will notice the start of new nail growth.
6 - 9 months: the nail will be approximately half way grown.
12 - 18 months: complete regrowth of the toenail.

Toenails grow at around 1mm per month, therefore it will take approximately 12 months for a blackened or discoloured nail to grow out.

A long time isn’t it. Be patient keep them trimmed regularly and seek advice if needed! 👣

Fun Feet Fact for the First of the Month…….
Having Cold Feet can change the way we walk. The tiny blood vessels in our feet tighten as our feet get colder. This makes the muscles and joints feel stiff so our walking pattern changes making it more likely to slip or cause strain.

Be careful with your chunky thick socks! If the socks make your footwear too tight, it will reduce circulation making your feet feel colder, always make sure you have room to wiggle your toes 🦶
Wear Warm, Dry, Well-Fitting Footwear with Breathable Socks 🧦 and keep your feet happy in February.

Be Aware…..Numb toes are not a winter normal, they are a warning sign. Tingling, burning or numb toes can be a sign of circulation problems. People who suffer from Diabetes or Vascular problems need to be extra vigilant in the cold weather. Always check your feet 👣
