Spotlight on NHS Tayside MSK podiatry. Great team 👣

We are celebrating Team Tayside by shining a light on some of our fantastic teams who work across a wide range of services and departments.

Today the spotlight is on the Musculoskeletal (MSK) Podiatry Team who are based in Ninewells Hospital and cover the whole of Tayside.

MSK Podiatry focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and management of conditions affecting the foot, ankle, and lower limb that are related to the musculoskeletal system.

The MSK Podiatry Service provides specialist assessment and conservative management for a wide range of lower limb musculoskeletal conditions.

The service offers advanced interventions including diagnostic ultrasound, ultrasound guided corticosteroid injections, extracorporeal shockwave therapy, manipulation therapy, and personalised stretching, strengthening and insole therapy programmes.

The service encourages self management and provides clear signposting to additional support services, including pain management, smoking cessation programmes, exercise initiatives and weight management pathways.

By supporting and enhancing multidisciplinary care pathways, the service helps reduce demand on other departments while improving patient function, mobility, and overall quality of life.

Speaking about the service Paula McDonald, Advanced Practice Podiatrist in MSK/ Podiatry Service Lead, Specialist Pathways and Practice Development explains, “Although we are a small team, equating to just two full time posts, we consistently deliver a broad and ambitious remit, grounded in robust evidence and a commitment to person centred care."

Business in Blairgowrie is building and I do still have space for new patients there. So feel free to book online.

This is why exercise is important.

🦵 Your Calves – The “Second Heart”

Did you know your calves work like a second heart? Every time you walk or move, your calf muscles squeeze the veins in your legs, pushing blood back up to your heart.

This pump helps blood fight gravity and keeps your circulation strong. Without it, your heart would struggle to move blood from your feet to your chest.

That’s why regular movement is so important. Walking, stretching, or even standing up helps your calves keep blood flowing.

If you sit too long, this hidden heart weakens, raising risks like swelling, tired legs, or blood clots. Keep moving—it keeps your body healthy.

Diabetes can cause other health problems that can become serious if not picked up and monitored or treated in the early stages. Getting regular checks on your feet is just one of the health checks you should be receiving. Read more at https://www.diabetes.org.uk/about-diabetes/looking-after-diabetes/care-to-expect

Just heels.

During the months of June, July and August I will be offering a ‘just heels’ treatment for £60.
This treatment will be tailored specifically to your heel’s needs. Callus will be removed followed by a foot mask to add much needed moisture to the area then cocooned in warm bootees. A summer essential.

I thought I’d share this. Make a coffee and have a read it’s very insightful.

Some people scrub them every day while others say letting water run over them in the shower is enough. Here’s what experts say: https://bbc.in/41LTumM
