Foot problems are very common and can affect everyone of all ages. From corns and callus to bunions and hammertoes, what can often appear as something small
and insignificant, can pose great difficulties with footwear and many daily activities like work and exercise. An FHP may be used if you have mobility and/or flexibility
issues or simply don’t have sufficient hand strength to operate nail clippers. It could be that your eye sight is not sufficient for accurate nail cutting and once a nail has
thickened it can be very hard to cut. The service offered is to ensure your feet are healthy and in the best possible condition, whatever your age. An FHP can deal
with all of these issues for you, with regular footcare, foot problems can be prevented.

•
