Specialised Foot Care Treatments
From clinical maintenance to therapeutic interventions, my restorative treatments are tailored to support your general foot health for long-term comfort and wellbeing.
Fungal Nail & Athlete's Foot Treatments
Assessment and management of fungal nail infections and athlete's foot, including reduction of thickened nails and professional advice on appropriate treatment options. This service aims to improve nail health, skin condition and overall foot comfort. A comprehensive foot health check is included to assess the condition of your feet, nails and skin and identify any additional foot care concerns. Included in foot check.
Ingrown Nails
Conservative treatment to relieve discomfort caused by ingrown toenails, including careful nail trimming, reduction, and guidance to help prevent recurrence. NON-SURGICAL. Ingrown toenails can cause pain, redness and tenderness around the nail edge, making everyday activities uncomfortable. Early treatment can help reduce pressure on the surrounding skin, improve comfort and lower the risk of infection developing. Included in foot check.
Cracked Heels & Fissures
Treatment to reduce hard skin and manage cracked heels and heel fissures, helping to improve comfort and restore healthier skin. Professional foot care focuses on removing excess hard skin, reducing pressure and supporting the natural healing process. Cracked heels can become painful if left untreated and may worsen over time. Aftercare advice is provided to help maintain skin condition, improve hydration and reduce the risk of future cracking. Included in foot check.
