Podiatrist and Foot Health Practitioner

Foot Health Practitioners (FHP) work similiar to Podiatrists and Chiropodists, Foot Health Practioners can work independently from them as well either mobile or having their own clinic privately. Podiatrists work in the NHS and a FHP may refer clients to Podiatrists if they feel anything is not in their remit of training or experience. Foot Health Practioners can trim nails, file and burr feet and nails and apply dressings of varying degrees to Podiatrists and Chiropodists.

There's no difference between a Podiatrist and Chiropodist, but podiatrist is a more modern name. A podiatrist (Chiropodist) can help you with common foot problems, including ingrown toenails and bunions. A FHP can do all these too. 

The main difference between a foot health practitioner (FHP) and a podiatrist is FHP's usually complete a diploma program that includes 12 months of theory and 5 days to 2 weeks of practical experience. Podiatrists must have at least a degree-level qualification and be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Click more for differences in what a FHP and Podiatrist can treat.

What to expect

Initial treatment requires a form to be completed with me. Every treatment involves a foot assessment. An average treatment can cover everything from nail trim, par verrucas, reduce and debride callus and enucleate corns so feet feel much more functional and comfortable and ease ingrowing toe nails. Client ailments can range from arthritis, neurological problems, mobility problems, diabetes and much more. With an option of a specific Reflexology treatment based on your assessment of what is going on for you that day.  Nail file including Ram's horn nails (onychogryphosis), impacted and involuted nails. I will finish by filing and burring the nails and feet. I  apply necessary creams or dressings and can advice on treatment for Onychomycosis (a fungal infection of the nail unit). 

I can advice on footwear and provide temporary support to make walking more functional through a mix of reflexology and occasional props. 

There after, a regular treatment plan can be established to give an inclusive and often luxurious aim to create healthy prognosis, apply preventative methods whilst being synchronous with a mighty fine pamper! 

You will leave feeling refreshed and comfortable. 

    

Foot Health Practitioner combined with Reflexology

Clients can be assured that I have the instruments required to deal with a whole host of foot disorders. I love to enhance my clients outlook on their feet. Allowing your feet to have focused care and attention reaps so many far reaching benefits. I take pride to pamper feet whilst making sure that nails and feet are supported correctly not only aesthetically. I can offer advice regarding posture, gait and muscle attachments of the lower leg and foot with the added bonus of choosing to complete a treatment with some Reflexology. A short, precise treatment of Reflexology can sometimes be even more effective than a long one.

Reflexology works by sending messages via the nervous system to balance the whole body. This has, spiritual, mental and physical effects. Reflexology induces relaxation and is ideal in treating many conditions affecting the functional, hormonal, digestive, nervous, vascular, respiratory, renal and genital systems. To list a few, see continue reading.
