What is a Foot Health Practitioner?
A Foot Health Practitioner (FHP) is qualified to provide routine care and maintenance for your feet. They can assess the condition of your feet and treat as appropriate and refer you if necessary.
Foot health practitioners are strictly regulated and required to undertake compulsory professional training each year to keep their skill and knowledge up to date.
Why seek help?
Looking after your feet is one of the most important aspects of personal care – whatever your age – patients include young and old, those with diabetes, arthritis, mobility and eyesight problems as well as those who enjoy giving their feet a treat. Feet are a crucial part of the body - they withstand and endure constant pressure throughout the day. It is advisable not to ignore foot pain and concerns but to seek an FHP at the earliest opportunity.
Foot problems are very common from corns, calluses and verrucae to fungal nail and skin conditions. What may appear as small and insignificant often leads to great difficulties with daily activities such as walking and exercise.
Particular health conditions including diabetes, arthritis and poor circulation may cause foot problem, but with regular care this can be prevented.
