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 Podiatry and a 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. Now! The question is how is it pronouced Chiro-podist or CHiro podist. Tje Latin for Chiro means hand 'to refer something done by hand usually. Pod means foot and iatrist means healer. 

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.                                     

Provide people with professional general footcare to help to avoid the development of problems that may have an impact on their health.

Podiatrists and Foot Health Practitioners make up the Alliance membership. The Alliance maintains the Accredited Register of Foot Health Practitioners. This register is the only register for Foot Health Practitioners that is accredited, or assured by the Professional Standards Authority for Health & Social Care. The Authority is appointed by Parliament to oversee the work of the Statutory Regulators and accredit health occupation registers that meet its standards.
