🍂 My favourite time of year! 🍂

This is my garden just now. Huge trees, leaves everywhere, nuts dropping and plenty more still to come down. I think I’m going to have some cleaning-up shift on my hands in a week or so! 😂

But honestly, I just love these colours. There’s something lovely about getting outside, taking a wee walk and listening to the leaves crunching under your feet.

And it got me thinking… we probably don’t give our feet much thought until something starts to bother us.

They carry us through every season, every walk and all those everyday little adventures. So it’s worth giving them a bit of care and attention along the way. ❤️

Enjoy those autumn walks and take care of those feet! 🍁

Do you struggle to put your socks on?

Perhaps your hands are painful, bending down is uncomfortable, or you’ve found yourself avoiding socks altogether over the summer months and now it’s turned colder.

Today’s little demonstration is all about a simple piece of equipment called a sock aid.

My lovely model today has painful hands and has also had a hip replacement in the last couple of years. Getting socks on isn’t always as straightforward as it sounds when movement or grip is restricted.

A sock aid can help take some of the strain out of the job, allowing you to put your socks on while seated, with less bending and pulling.

There are different styles available, and it can take a little practice to get the hang of using one. It works for all sorts of socks however in this video the model uses extra wide diabetic socks due to her painful hands and inability to stretch the more standard fitting socks.

It’s a small thing, perhaps, but being able to manage everyday tasks independently can make such a difference.

Have you ever used one, or is this something you think might help you or someone you care for?

Sometimes it’s the little things that make life easier. ❤️

🍂 A wee October catch-up… 🍂

As October draws to a close, it’s lovely to look back at some of the things that have made this month special. ❤️

As an aside and not so special… those storms we’ve had? 😱🌬️ Let’s hope they don’t become too much of a regular feature! Our chairs blown about 😳in the video 🙈

Back to business …

I’ve had lots of lovely catch-ups with my regular patients and met some wonderful new faces too. One of my highlights was having someone who may be a future podiatrist shadow me at appointments. I really enjoyed sharing a little about my role as a Foot Health Practitioner and how we all have a part to play in helping people look after their feet. A huge thank you to those patients who agreed to support me with this👣.

I’ve also launched the first couple of posts in my Little Foot Health Notes series! On Facebook ⭐️If you’ve missed them, have a wee look back at “Are Mum and Dad still managing their toenails?” and the video featuring my lovely mum as my very own foot model, showing a simple way to dry your feet when you struggle to reach them yourself. ❤️

There are more little tips to come in November, all aimed at making looking after your feet at home that bit easier.

Now the clocks have changed, the darker evenings are here too. While some of us enjoy a cosy night in, I know these longer, darker evenings can feel a bit lonely for some. A wee phone call, a visit or just checking in could brighten a day more than you realise. ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who follows, likes and shares my page. Every share helps these little foot health tips reach someone who might find them useful.

Anyone who really knows me will know I enjoy a challenge and a target 😂. I’m sitting at 462 Facebook followers on my Foot Care page which I’m personally really chuffed by, but I’d love to reach 500 by Christmas.

If you enjoy my posts, please give the page a follow and share it with someone who might benefit from some of my little foot health notes. It would be lovely to grow this little community and help more people feel confident looking after their own feet.

Wishing everyone a safe, healthy and cosy November. Take care of yourselves and each other. ❤️

🍂 A wee thought for the week…

I’ve recently introduced a morning walk around the loch in Lanark into my routine, and my back is thanking me for it!

When you spend much of your working day bent over looking after people’s feet, you soon realise how important it is to keep your own body moving too. 😊

It got me thinking about those who might find walking difficult, or who spend much of their day sitting in a chair.

Movement doesn’t have to mean a long walk or a big exercise session. Sometimes it’s just a few gentle movements throughout the day.

🦶 Circling your ankles or gently moving your feet up and down.

🦵 Straightening one knee at a time, as far as is comfortable.

🙆‍♀️ Rolling your shoulders or gently circling your arms.

🪑 Sitting tall, taking a few comfortable breaths, then relaxing again.

Little movements can help break up long periods of sitting and keep your joints moving.

And if you’re caring for someone who spends much of their day in a chair, perhaps encourage them to have a wee stretch with you. It doesn’t need to be complicated. There are lots of utube videos you can use for inspiration.

It’s not about how much you do, but finding little ways to keep moving that work for you. ❤️

When you are up out your seat, try taking an extra minute on your feet if you can and take a few extra steps up and down the hall. It’s amazing how it will build up throughout the day and help with circulation and your strength.

👣 Little Foot Health Notes

Sometimes, something as simple as drying your feet can become a bit of a challenge, especially if bending down or reaching your feet isn’t so easy.

With the help of my mum, we demonstrate a simple way of using a large towel to help dry your feet while sitting down.

It’s about finding little ways to look after your feet that work for you whatever your age or ability.

😂Pop your sound on to hear my wee voiceover 🙈! If you’d rather not listen, I understand 😂 there will be no Oscar’s coming my way…. Although my mum’s demo is to be admired 🥰.

I’ve included the main points below.

✔️ Sit safely and take your time.
✔️ Use a large, soft towel to gently dry your feet.
✔️ Remember to dry between your toes if you can too.

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make a difference.

In the next episodes 🤣 I’ll show you some useful wee devices that will help you a little more to get on top of those pins!
