😖 Stressed out? Your feet might feel it before you do.

It’s Stress Awareness Week, and sometimes tension shows up in unexpected places- like your feet!

Stress can cause:
🦶 Foot clenching
🦵 Tight calves
🔥 Muscle pain

✨ Taking a moment to slow down and care for your feet can help ease both body and mind. Remember, small acts of self-care make a big difference.

🤔 Confused about the difference between a podiatrist and a chiropodist? You’re not alone!

At MyFootMedic, we get asked this a lot. Here’s the simple truth: they’re essentially the same profession!

The term “chiropodist” is the older, traditional British title, while “podiatrist” is the more modern, international term that reflects the broader scope of our work.

📅 What changed?
In the UK, the profession officially adopted “podiatrist” as the protected title in 1993.
This shift recognised that foot specialists do far more than just treat corns and calluses.
“Podiatrist” better represents our advanced training in biomechanics, surgery, and musculoskeletal health.

Both titles remain legally protected in the UK - meaning all podiatrists and chiropodists must be qualified and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). ✅

What really matters isn’t the title but the qualifications and expertise behind it. At MyFootMedic, all our professionals are highly trained to care for your feet and lower limbs comprehensively.

Whether you call us podiatrists or chiropodists, our goal stays the same: to keep you healthy, comfortable, and active, so you can enjoy life without foot pain holding you back! ✨

🍂 As October brings cooler temperatures, your feet need extra care to stay healthy and comfortable! 💙 At MyFootMedic, we notice certain foot problems tend to increase as the seasons change.
Cold weather often leads to:

❄️ Dry, cracked heels and skin due to less moisture in the air
😣 Chilblains - painful, itchy swellings caused by poor circulation in cold conditions
🦶 Increased foot pain for those with arthritis as temperatures drop
🧦 Fungal infections from feet being enclosed in boots and less breathable footwear

⚠️ What if you do nothing? Cracked heels can worsen and even get infected, while poor circulation in cold weather may lead to serious complications, especially for people with diabetes.

Our autumn foot care tips:
✨ Moisturise daily with a urea-based cream (we stock these in clinic!)
✨ Warm cold feet gradually — avoid direct heat which can damage skin
✨ Wear insulated, waterproof footwear outdoors
✨ Choose breathable socks made from natural fibers like wool or bamboo
✨ Stay active to keep your circulation strong as the weather cools

Biomechanical issues may become more noticeable this season as you switch footwear and activity levels. If you’re experiencing new or increased foot pain, book a comprehensive assessment with us! 🙋‍♀️
