๐Ÿ‘ฃ Fun Foot Fact Friday

Did you know?

Your feet can produce up to half a pint of sweat a dayโ€ฆ but they have no sweat odour of their own.

The smell only happens when sweat meets bacteria.
So technicallyโ€ฆ
Itโ€™s not your feet that smell, itโ€™s the party your feet host. ๐Ÿฆ ๐ŸŽ‰

At The College of Foot Health Practitioners, we teach our students how to help patients manage foot odour, fungal infections, and moisture control with simple, effective treatments.

๐Ÿ’ก A little foot care goes a long way, especially for keeping the party under control.

๐Ÿ‘Ÿ Footwear Fit Check: Are Your Shoes Helping Or Harming?

Quick check you can do today:
โœ… There should be a thumbโ€™s width of space at the end of the shoe
โœ… You should be able to wiggle all your toes
โœ… No rubbing, pinching or red marks after wearing
โœ… Shoes should feel comfortable from the start, not after "breaking in"

Tight or poorly fitted shoes can lead to corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, heel pain and long-term posture issues.

At The College of Foot Health Practitioners, we teach future Foot Health Practitioners how to spot shoe-related problems and give patients practical, real-world advice that keeps them comfortable, active and confident.

๐Ÿ’ก Take a moment today to check your shoes. Small changes can prevent big problems.

๐Ÿฉบ What Insurance Do I Need as a Foot Health Practitioner?

If youโ€™re starting or growing your practice, having the right insurance cover is just as important as having the right skills.

In our latest blog, we explain everything Foot Health Practitioners in the UK need to know about:
โœ… Public liability and professional indemnity insurance
โœ… Personal injury and loss of tools cover
โœ… Product and employersโ€™ liability
โœ… How the right policy protects your business and your patients

Good insurance means peace of mind, so you can focus on delivering excellent care.

๐Ÿ‘ฃ Fun Foot Fact Friday

Did you know?

Many young children go through a phase of walking on their tiptoes as they learn to balance and explore the world around them. In most cases, toe walking is completely normal, and children grow out of it by the age of two or three as their muscles and coordination develop.

However, if toe walking continues beyond early childhood, it can sometimes be linked to tight calf muscles, neurological conditions, or simply a habitual walking pattern that needs gentle correction.

At The College of Foot Health Practitioners, we teach students how to recognise when toe walking is part of normal development and when it might require further assessment or referral.

๐Ÿ’ก Every step tells a story, especially in growing feet.

๐Ÿฆถ Fun Foot Fact Friday

Did you know?

Keeping your feet warm at night can help you fall asleep faster and enjoy better-quality rest.
When your feet are comfortably warm, the blood vessels expand, a process called vasodilation, which signals to your brain that itโ€™s time to relax and sleep. Cold feet, on the other hand, can make it harder to drift off.

At The College of Foot Health Practitioners, we know that foot health affects much more than just mobility. From circulation and comfort to posture and rest, healthy feet contribute to overall well-being.

๐Ÿ’ก Looking after your feet means looking after your whole body, even while you sleep.

๐Ÿ‘ฃ Fun Foot Fact Friday
Did you know?

Your feet are constantly sending messages to your brain, helping you balance and move safely even when you are not looking at them.
This sense is called proprioception, and it allows your body to understand where it is in space. Every step, stretch and shift of weight is guided by thousands of nerve receptors in your feet working together with your brain.
At The College of Foot Health Practitioners, we teach students to understand how foot function connects to posture, balance, and movement. Recognising when this communication is disrupted can help prevent falls and improve patientsโ€™ confidence and independence.

๐Ÿ’ก Healthy feet keep you grounded, quite literally.
