Footcare Services
Did you know the average 60 year old will have walked around the Earth about 4 times
Good Footcare is essential for everyone but people with Diabetes, Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis need to be extra careful. Serious complications such as foot ulcers or amputations are avoidable and you can also avoid pain, distress, reduced fitness for everyday life, time lost at work and loss of earnings by simply putting a care plan in place.
Aim to have a foot assessment with a Podiatrist at least once a Year
