One of our recent patients, a dedicated firefighter 👨‍🚒, came to us struggling to get his boots on, the pain from an ingrown toenail had become unbearable. After a careful examination, we discovered a sharp spike of nail buried deep and pressing into the skin. Using precision nail nippers, we gently removed it — and the relief was instant.

Now, he’s back on his feet, ready to jump on the truck and keep our community safe. 🚒

Sometimes, even small problems can stop heroes in their tracks — but expert foot care gets them moving again. 💙

We love prescribing each pair of custom orthotics for our patients. After a detailed foot scan, we can see exactly where the issues are, from pressure points to movement imbalances, and create a personalised orthotic that supports the foot, absorbs shock, and cushions every step.

Phits Orthotics aren’t just for elite athletes (though they are used by professionals like Sir Mo Farah, Lily Partridge, and Charlotte Purdue). They’re ideal for everyday life, whether you’re managing foot or heel pain, arch issues, or knee discomfort.

Why our patients love Phits Orthotics:

✅ Precision fit, accurate to 0.1mm
🌱 Eco-friendly and sustainably made
👟 Slim, lightweight, and durable
💪 Pain-relieving, performance-boosting, and preventative

With the right support, you can take those first morning steps without pain, stand comfortably all day, or enjoy walking and running again, knowing your body is fully supported.

Tis the season for christmas parties, dancing, and those high heels that have been waiting in the wardrobe! ✨

But while heels can elevate your outfit (and your confidence), they can also take a serious toll on your feet if you’re not careful.

At Essex Footcare, we often see the after-effects of a night in heels, from blisters and bunions to long-term tendon and joint problems caused by repeated strain and poor support. The good news? You don’t have to suffer for style!

Here are a few of our top tips for stepping out safely and stylishly this festive season:

👠 Go for block or platform heels for better stability and less pressure on your toes.
🌇 Try shoes on later in the day when your feet are slightly swollen for a true fit.
🦶 Use gel inserts, heel grips, or blister pads to protect your feet.
⏳ Pack a pair of flats for the journey home
🧘‍♀️ Soak, stretch, and massage your feet to release tension and prevent stiffness.

If you find that foot or heel pain lingers long after the party’s over, don’t ignore it, pain is your body’s way of saying something’s not right. Our podiatrists can help identify the cause and get you back to feeling your best.

A gait and motion assessment can improve your day-to-day life if you are suffering from foot pain like Joanne. She kindly wrote this review for our Basildon clinic.

“I would absolutely recommend - the staff are really friendly, professional and put you at total ease. I was suffering from pain in my left foot to the point where it was affecting my day-to-day life. I visited Sushila and she was so reassuring, thoroughly assessing my problems and sorted me out with a pair of orthotics to try. I then returned for them to be checked and a general foot health session. Since this appointment, I continue to attend regularly and I am so happy - my feet are no longer painful, my skin has improved. My nails are now cut properly and are being treated with the appropriate lotions, which are regularly assessed and altered accordingly. I welcome the advice I receive from Sushila - I have swapped to wearing bamboo socks and such a simple change has made a huge difference. Please dont waste time and money trying to self treat/cure - pop along and see these guys. You will be relieved and amazed with the results”

At Essex Footcare, we’re more than a foot clinic, we’re your partners in comfort, confidence, and wellbeing.

As we get older, or if we’re living with diabetes, our feet often tell the first signs of change in our overall health. Subtle shifts in balance, reduced circulation, or changes in sensation can increase the risk of falls, ulcers, or other complications, often before any pain begins.

That’s why proactive foot care is so important. At Essex Footcare, we take a preventative approach. Our pressure analysis and gait scanning technology can detect imbalances, circulation concerns, and areas of high pressure long before they cause problems. By identifying risks early, we can help protect your feet, preserve your mobility, and give you confidence in every step you take.

👣 Stay steady. Stay mobile. Stay confident.

Because with the right support, you can keep doing the things you love safely and comfortably.

We’re here to help you every step of the way. 💙

Step Into the Future of Foot Care 👣

Pain shouldn’t be part of your everyday routine, and finding out why it happens shouldn’t be a mystery.

At Essex Footcare, we’re excited to introduce Gait & Motion Foot Scanning Technology, a groundbreaking tool that helps us understand exactly how your feet move and why pain might be occurring.

Using over 4,000 precision pressure measurements, our system captures every detail of your step, from how your heels strike the ground to how your toes push off. The scan creates a detailed 3D map of your feet, accurate to 0.1mm, revealing the subtle movements and pressure points that often go unnoticed in a traditional assessment.

The best part? It’s quick, completely painless, and only takes a few minutes to complete. As you walk across the pressure plate or treadmill, the scan measures balance, stability, and motion in real time. The results give our podiatrists clear insight into:

✅ How your joints move with each step
✅ Where your feet experience the most pressure
✅ Any imbalances or weaknesses that could be contributing to pain or fatigue

Armed with this information, we can design a treatment plan that truly fits you, whether that means custom Phits Orthotics, exercise advice, or simple changes that make a big difference to how you move.

💙 It’s real science creating real comfort, helping you walk easier, move better, and live without pain.
