Podology

Podology

Our Podology service is designed to help you recover from foot or ankle injuries and manage ongoing foot-related conditions by improving your foot health, balance, and mobility. For older individuals or those with chronic conditions, proper foot care can also prevent minor issues from escalating into serious complications, helping you maintain your independence and quality of life.

This service is particularly beneficial for those who struggle to visit an outpatient clinic, which may include patients with:

  • Foot or ankle surgery or injuries requiring post-operative rehabilitation
  • Chronic foot and ankle pain or musculoskeletal complaints (such as plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, arthritis, etc…)
  • Chronic health conditions affecting the feet (such as diabetes or poor circulation leading to foot ulcers or numbness)
  • Age-related foot problems or difficulty performing personal foot care tasks (for example, trouble cutting toenails due to limited flexibility or vision)
  • Reduced mobility, function, or balance (often due to foot or lower limb issues)
  • Difficulties getting around the home or outside (such as climbing stairs or getting out of a bed, bath, etc…)

Our Community Podologists begin with an in-home assessment of your needs and current foot health – including the condition of your skin, nails, and joints – as well as your gait, balance, and overall mobility. They will discuss your goals and evaluate any environmental factors in order to minimize risks of falls and other accidents.

What are the benefits of opting for our Podology Service?

Convenience

Receiving podiatry care at home eliminates the hassle of traveling to a clinic. This not only saves time and transportation costs, but also conserves your energy for the treatment session itself. For someone with foot pain or limited mobility, avoiding long walks or drives can be a huge relief, allowing you to focus on improving your feet without worrying about how to get to the appointment.

Familiarity

Especially when dealing with painful or sensitive foot issues, being in a familiar home environment helps you feel more comfortable and relaxed. This comfort can reduce stress and improve cooperation during treatment, which in turn encourages better results. A familiar setting also makes it easier to remember and perform any recommended foot exercises or routines, so you can build strength and confidence in your own surroundings.

Safety

Home visits allow our podiatrists to provide an accurate risk assessment of your living environment and give advice on creating a safer home setup – particularly important if you’ve had a fall or have balance issues. They can identify tripping hazards (like loose rugs or poor lighting) and recommend proper footwear or adjustments in your home to improve stability. Regular foot care and a safer environment go hand-in-hand to significantly reduce the risk of falls, giving you the practical skills and confidence to move around safely.

Post-Surgery

Podology care is key for a good recovery following an operation on the foot or ankle (such as bunion correction or ankle surgery). In many cases after foot surgery, your mobility is significantly limited, so traveling in general can be difficult. This is why rehabilitation at home is the best solution: a series of home visits ensures no time is wasted in starting your recovery. Our podiatrists will follow a personalised post-surgery program with you – from monitoring wound healing to guiding you through safe exercises – to help you heal properly and get back on your feet as efficiently as possible.
