Checking your skin regularly could save your life.

The importance of checking for melanoma – including your feet 🦶

Melanoma is a serious type of skin cancer that can develop from an existing mole or appear as a new mark on the skin. When caught early, treatment is often very successful — which is why regular skin checks are so important.

Many people forget to check their feet, but melanoma can develop:

• On the soles of the feet
• Between the toes
• Around the heels
• Under or around the toenails
• On the tops of the feet and ankles

Because we don’t always look at the bottoms of our feet, changes can that can go unnoticed 👣

When caring for your feet, take a moment to check the skin on your soles, heels and between your toes. If you struggle to see the bottoms of your feet, use a mirror or ask someone you trust to help.

If you notice any unusual or changing lesions, always contact your GP promptly. It’s better to get it checked and have reassurance.

Early detection saves lives — and that includes your feet 💚

You've tried every foot cream on the shelf, but your heels are still rough, cracked, or dry by lunchtime. Sound familiar?

Here's the truth: not all dryness is the same, and NOT ALL CREAMS are built to fix it.
If your feet are dealing with deep cracks, stubborn calluses, or dryness that just won't quit, a standard moisturiser isn't going to get you there. 👇🏼

Foot massage is so underrated!

After successfully experiencing last week’s routine, it’s time to elevate your practice and introduce a touch more intensity! 😊

Now, embrace a gradual boost of 10-15% in pressure over the course of 1-2 weeks of consistent daily massage.

Fun Fact: Routine massage can greatly enhance circulation, invigorate muscles, alleviate tension, and soothe discomfort.

Navigate this guide to embark on a daily regimen:

1. Gentle Toe Tugs
Begin by delicately pulling each toe. With one hand holding your foot, use the other to softly tug each toe, slightly increasing the pull for 10-20 seconds per toe.

2. Upper Foot Bliss
Focus on the top of your foot, particularly the spaces between the metatarsal bones. Start at the arrow’s apex in the image and gently slide your finger down to the toe joints. Spend a wholesome minute here.

3. Sole Serenity
Start near the heel and work your way toward the forefoot, using your thumbs or a small golf ball. Make a mental note of any tender points – these are key for the next phase. Dedicate 1-5 minutes here.

4. Targeted Relief
If you’ve identified any sensitive spots, it’s time for specialized treatment. Apply firm pressure with your thumb while alternating between pointing your toes up and down. Focus on each discomfort point for up to 30 seconds, allocating a maximum of 3 minutes for all points on each foot. Exercise caution if you have specific conditions.

5. Upper Foot Rejuvenation
Remember, this section plays a pivotal role in refining your squat. Check previous posts for detailed insight. Devote 45 seconds per foot for ideal results.

6. Final Flourish
Grasp your foot or ease into a crossed-leg position to gently flex and extend your toes. This graceful movement should unfold leisurely. Previous exercises should make this phase more accessible.

Consistently practicing this routine twice a day can grant your feet newfound suppleness!

A little note about appointment costs 💚

I understand that, as a patient, it can sometimes feel like you’re paying “just for the appointment” or “just for the treatment on the day.”

In reality, a foot health appointment reflects much more than the time spent in the chair.

Your appointment cost also covers things you don’t always see, such as:

🦶Professional training and ongoing education
🦶Strict standards of hygiene, sterilisation and infection control
🦶Specialist instruments, equipment and clinical-grade products
🦶Insurance, DBS checks and professional compliance
🦶Accurate clinical notes and secure record keeping
🦶Preparation and thorough clean-down before and after every visit

All of this is essential to providing safe, consistent and professional foot care, and to ensuring every patient receives the time, attention and standards they deserve.

Thank you, as always, for supporting small healthcare businesses and professional, considered foot health care 👣✨
