Put your feet in our hands....
Your feet are the most forgotten about part of the body when it comes to health matters, but would it surprise you to know that in the course of one day you take between 8 and 10 thousand steps, thats a lot of work!
Feet contain 52 bones when fully formed, that is 25% of your entire skeleton, when they are out of alignment, then so is the rest of your body, so it pays to pay attention to your feet, they can tell you a lot about your general health, far more than you would think.
Why not spend a little time thinking about your feet and all they do for you, if you think something is not quite right or there is pain where you don't think there should be, then call or use the online booking system and make an appointment and we will be only too please to help and advise on treatments or excercises that could make all the difference to you and your feet.......

"I visited this clinic today because I have very dry skin on my feet and I thought I had a fungal infection in the toenails on my right foot.
Joanne Makarus looked after me so well and I left with much more attractive feet and the happy knowledge that I don't have an infection."
