What is Podiatry?
Podiatrists are university-trained experts in the foot and lower limb (foot, ankle, and leg). They work with the whole body from the foot’s perspective upwards to help prevent, diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate medical and surgical conditions of the feet and lower limbs.
Our Podiatrists regularly undertake further courses to enhance and develop an ever-expanding skill set best suited to aid our clients in achieving their goals in the comfort of their own homes.
