🍂 Fun Friday Fact: Your walking style changes on slippery autumn surfaces! 👣

As summer starts to fade and wet leaves begin appearing on pavements, your body has a clever way of helping you stay upright.

When the ground feels slippery, we naturally tend to:

👣 Take shorter steps
🐢 Walk a little more slowly
⚖️ Keep our feet flatter to the ground
🧠 Make tiny adjustments to balance without even thinking about it

Your brain, muscles and feet are constantly communicating and adapting to the surface beneath you.

And with autumn approaching, it is also a good time to check that your everyday shoes still have plenty of grip. 👟🍂

👉 Fun question for this Friday:

Which autumn hazard catches you out most often?

🍂 Wet leaves
🌧️ Slippery pavements
🪵 Muddy paths
😇 None, I am always prepared!

💛 Another happy pair of feet! 💛

I had the pleasure of treating this very nervous young lady after her feet were unfortunately trodden on during a night out, causing damage to her toenails.

One of her toenails had partially detached from the nail bed and was causing her quite a lot of discomfort. I carefully removed the acrylic polish and gently treated the detached nail, taking extra time and care to make sure she felt as comfortable and relaxed as possible throughout. 🥰

She was absolutely over the moon with the result and couldn’t thank me enough for being so gentle. 💕

A few days later, she messaged to let me know that her toes were feeling so much better and thanked me again.

It’s moments like this that remind me just how much I LOVE my job! 💛🙏👣👣

Making people feel comfortable, cared for and confident about their feet is what it’s all about. ✨

🌿 Practising What I Preach: Self-Care, Recovery & Natural Wellbeing 🌿

While managing a shoulder injury recently, I've been reminded how important it is to listen to our bodies, seek the right support, and allow time to heal. It's the same advice I often give my patients—whether you're dealing with foot pain, mobility issues, or recovering from treatment, taking care of yourself isn't a luxury, it's a necessity.

As part of my own self-care journey, I've also been enjoying creating a natural pain-relief balm using nettle-infused oil, beeswax and eucalyptus essential oil. I love exploring natural ways to support comfort and wellbeing alongside professional treatment.

What do you do to look after yourself when your body tells you it's time to slow down?

Fun Friday Fact: Your big toe has tiny “helper bones” 👣🫘

Did you know there are two small pea-shaped bones under the big toe joint called sesamoid bones?

They may be tiny, but they have an important job.

A few quick facts:
🦴 They help the big toe move smoothly
🚶 They support push-off when you walk
👟 They can feel irritated if there is too much pressure under the ball of the foot
👠 Thin soles, high heels, or lots of time on hard floors can make this area feel more noticeable

It is a good reminder that even the smallest parts of the foot can make a big difference to comfort and movement.

👉 Fun question for this Friday:

Where do your feet feel pressure first?
Heel 🦶
Ball of the foot ⚽
Toes 👣
Arch 🌉
