Who I am and where I started out
Hello my name is Emma, I am a highly qualified multiskilled professional with a passion for helping people to stay mobile and on their feet.
I hold a level 4 Diploma in Foot Healthcare which I obtained in Birmingham, at the College of Foot Health Practitioners.
I pride myself on offering a warm and caring surrounding's where clients can relax and feel at ease whilst having their treatments carried out.
I have spent the past 20 years in the NHS, predominantly in operating theatres as an Operating Department Practitioner and a deputy sister where I specialised in orthopaedics.
I have a wealth of surgical experience and knowledge of anatomy and physiology pertaining to the human foot by using this knowledge it under pins all of my tailormade treatment plans, which caters for each individual.

I aim to be a Trusted Foot Care Specialist
I believe that a comprehensive assessment of the foot is crucial for promoting optimal foot health across all ages. I will assess and evaluate various aspects of foot structure, function, and biomechanics, ensuring that any underlying issues can be identified and addressed.
By understanding the unique needs of each patient—whether they are a child, an adult, or a senior individual I will endeavour to tailor my approach to your foot care, whilst accommodating different mobility levels and activity demands.
During the assessment, I will examine foot posture, alignment, and the range of motion, as well as assessing gait and balance. This thorough evaluation is essential for identifying common foot problems, such as bunions, plantar fasciitis, and flat feet, which can significantly impact mobility and overall well-being.
By gaining insights into a patient's biomechanics, I am able to offer personalized recommendations for orthotics, and targeted exercises to improve comfort and function.
Additionally, education plays a vital role in the process. I try to encourage patients to engage in self-care practices, such as regular foot inspections and appropriate hygiene, to maintain foot health. For patients with specific conditions—like diabetes or arthritis—proactive measures can prevent complications and enhance quality of life.
Ultimately, a detailed foot assessment empowers individuals of all ages to take charge of their foot health, promoting better mobility and reducing the risk of injury or chronic pain.
