Whether you require immediate, gentle relief from a stubborn corn, expert care for thick or painful nails, or a professional assessment for diabetic foot safety, our HCPC-registered specialists are here to restore your comfort and confidence.

Complex Biomechanical Pain

Decades of clinical experience, delivered with genuine empathy

At our practice, we believe that high-quality footcare should be completely stress-free, deeply reassuring, and entirely pain-free. We treat you as a whole person, not just a pair of feet.

Exceptional Professional Standards

Our lead podiatrist, Clare Flintham, is the joint proprietor of the clinic and brings nearly three decades of clinical practice to your care. With over 20 years of NHS experience supporting podiatric surgery teams and diabetic foot clinics, Clare’s expertise is unmatched.

Transparent & Structured Pricing

To keep our fees clear and honest, we separate our treatments logically. Podiatry fees cover routine skin, nail, verruca, and general care. Plus complex musculoskeletal assessments (such as heel, joint, and nerve pain) which require more diagnostic time and clinical mapping.

Honest Footwear & Self-Care Education

We don't just treat your symptoms and send you on your way. We sit down to explain the root causes of your symptoms and share practical, realistic tips on daily moisturising, natural fibre socks, and rotating your shoes to prevent problems from returning.

Reclaim your active days from standing strain

If your role involves spending long, exhausting hours standing on hard floors—whether you are an NHS nurse, a retail worker, a builder in heavy safety boots, or a busy parent—even minor foot problems can quickly become disabling. You shouldn’t have to limp through your work shift or miss out on weekend family walks.

We specialize in providing immediate, pressure-relieving comfort. By gently clearing painful skin restrictions, thinning thick nails, and offering tailored footwear advice, we help you get back on your feet quickly. Our goal is to ensure you can stand comfortably, walk easily, and live life with complete freedom.

Preparing for your first footcare appointment

To ensure we provide a safe, relaxing, and highly effective environment for your first visit, here is what you need to know:

Appointment Duration: A typical initial Podiatry treatment lasts between 30 to 45 minutes. This gives us ample time to take a full medical history, discuss your concerns, and perform your hands-on care.
What to Bring: Please bring a complete list of any medications you are currently taking. This is essential for ensuring we perform all clinical treatments safely.
What to Wear: No special clothing is required, as we only need easy access to your feet and lower ankles.
Medical Questionnaire: Optionally download and print our medical history questionnaire to bring to your appointment to determine the effectiveness of any treatments we may use.

Frequently Asked Questions About Footcare

What is the difference between Chiropody and Podiatry at your clinic?

In the UK, the titles mean the same thing. The term changed from Chiropody to Podiatry in the early 1990’s. The term Chiropody is still used, although it is less common now.

Does corn and hard skin removal hurt?

No. Removing corns and hard skin is a highly gentle, non-invasive process. Our podiatrists use precise, sterile techniques to gently shave away dead skin layers. Because this skin does not have active nerve endings, the treatment is generally pain-free, and most patients report a feeling of immediate relief and comfort the moment they stand up.

Do you offer diabetic foot screenings?

Yes. Diabetic footcare is a highly specialised focus at our clinic. We perform thorough neuro-vascular screenings to assess blood circulation, nerve sensation levels, and skin integrity, helping patients living with diabetes safely protect their mobility and prevent long-term complications.

Ready to walk without physical limits?

Putting off an appointment often means letting a minor, painful corn or nail niggle develop into a frustrating limp. Whether you want to enjoy a long walk with your family, stand comfortably through a demanding work shift, or simply walk without pain, our team is ready to support you.
