      Assessment

      A Medical History form will be completed prior to your visit. At your appointment you will be asked what your concerns are regarding your feet and your medical history will be discussed and an overall assessment of the feet will be taken. If you require subsequent visits I will check that your medical history is up to date and continue to monitor your foot health.

      Treatment

      Once we have discussed what is required and agreed the necessary action I will carry out the appropriate treatment. An appropriate foot cream or heel balm will be applied at the end of your treatment. I can also make devices to offload pressure, e.g. silicon moulds to help separate toes.

      Foot care advice – a few tips

       

      • Try to check your feet regularly (daily if you have Diabetes) to look for any changes.
      • Practice good foot hygiene, drying your feet well, especially between the toes to help prevent athletes foot.
      • Moisturise the skin on your feet (except between your toes) with foot cream or heel balm (this will help keep this area of skin intact). Filing dry or hard skin will also help.
      • If you suffer with corns, do what you can to offload pressure by wearing properly fitting shoes, non-medicated corn pads or other padding to minimise pressure and friction.
      • If you get corns between your toes, do what you can to keeps toes apart by wearing well-fitting shoes, toe spacers and keeping the area between your toes dry.
      • File nails to help prevent them getting too long or uncomfortable, if you or someone else is in your household are able.
      • If your nails put pressure on the skin when they get to a certain length, try filing or easing the skin away from the nail. Soaking them or wearing a toe cap might help as well as wearing shoes that do not put pressure on the toes.
      • If you do use any devices for your toes/feet remember to remove them at night.
      • If you notice signs of infection such as pain, redness, heat, pus etc, try using a warm salted foot soak but seek advice if this does not solve the problem.
      • Try exercising your feet while sitting down by wiggling your toes and pointing and lifting your feet etc (if you are able).
      • If you develop foot pain or other changes in your feet, it is important not to ignore them. Please feel free to get in touch for advice over the phone. 
      • Diabetes UK www.diabetes.org.uk also has some useful information on looking after your feet.

    • Location

      Tisbury foot clinic (Tisbury Foot Care on map) is situated on the High Street in a red brick building on the opposite side to the garage (Tisbury Motor Company on map) and next to the Victoria Hall which is on the corner of the High Street and Park Road. Parking is available on the street outside, round the corner on Park Road or there is a Free car park on The Avenue near the Fire Station next to the public toilets.

      There are three steps with a handrail up to the door and you will see a sign for the Osteopathy clinic. Alternatively you can avoid the steps by going round the back off of Park Road up a driveway between Elizabeth Hall and the entrance for Tisbury Doctors Surgery. You will see a double garage with a pathway to the left where you will then go through a wooden gate round the side of the building to the front entrance avoiding any steps. If you let me know that you will be using this entrance I will leave the gate open for you.

    • HEALTHY FEET screening questions

      *Track and Trace/NHS Covid 19 app

      In the eventuality that I (the practitioner) get symptoms of Covid-19 within 48hrs of having close contact with you during an appointment and then later test positive, I am obliged under law to provide your name, telephone number or email and the date and time of your visit to the test and trace service. Please note that by attending the appointment you give consent for this.

      Telephone screening:

      I will telephone you on the day of your appointment to check that you are fit and well and that everything is alright from a Covid perspective for your appointment to go ahead. (including no high temperature, cough or loss or change in taste or smell). I am continuing to rearrange appointments for when you are better even if you just have cold-like symptoms. This is because the main symptoms in vaccinated adults often include headache, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat and fatigue.

       

      These pre-screening questions and procedures are to keep both you and myself safe.

       

      Just as we regularly visit the dentist, hygienist and opticians, we also need to consider our feet, particularly those who are getting older, are less mobile or are experiencing

      problems or concerns about their feet.

      Healthy feet help us to get the most out of life!
