🎄 Christmas Jumper Day at InStep of Oakham 🎄

Today the team are proudly wearing their Christmas jumpers to bring a bit of festive cheer into the clinic — because healthcare does not have to feel cold or clinical, especially at this time of year.

While we are getting into the Christmas spirit, we are also reminding patients that FREE foot health consultations are currently available. This is an opportunity to have concerns assessed, ask questions, and understand your treatment options — with no obligation.

If you have been putting off getting foot pain, nail problems, skin issues, or circulation concerns checked, now is the right time to act before the Christmas rush.

Last winter, almost 4,000 people attended A&E in England with ingrown toenails.
Most of these could have been treated safely and effectively by a podiatrist.

At InStep of Oakham, we provide specialist care for painful ingrown nails – from conservative treatment to minor nail surgery where needed – helping you avoid long waits and keeping A&E free for genuine emergencies.

If you’re struggling with an ingrown toenail, contact us to discuss your options or to book an appointment:

NHS England reported 3,890 ingrown toenails presented at A&E last winter. Podiatrists are the experts in foot and lower limb care and can provide specialist care for ingrown nails, including minor surgery to resolve them. Check with your local NHS for podiatry access criteria or find your nearest private podiatrist at https://rcpod.org.uk/find-a-podiatrist and save A&E for the critical care.

Let's talk Biomechanics.. For Kids 🧒👶👧👦

It’s how our feet and legs move when we walk, run, and play!

For children, good biomechanics mean strong muscles, healthy joints, and fewer injuries as they grow. Because kids’ feet are still developing, the way they move now can shape their posture, balance, and comfort for years to come.

👟 Fun Fact:

Children’s feet aren’t just smaller versions of adult feet — they’re constantly changing! That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to how they walk and run.

💚 Top 3 Signs to Watch For:
✔️ Frequent tripping or stumbling
✔️ Complaints of foot, ankle, or knee pain
✔️ Walking on tiptoes or unevenly

If you spot any of these, it could be a sign of an imbalance in your child’s gait. A quick biomechanical check-up can help keep little feet strong, steady, and pain-free — supporting healthy movement as they grow.

👣 Healthy feet mean happy adventures ahead! 🌟
