Foot Care Service

Foot care in later life is very important to your general health and well-being. Nails may become toughened and difficult to cut which can lead to feet becoming painful and uncomfortable as a result of nails not being cut regularly.

In later life skin can become thin and lose elasticity, feet can also lose strength and balance by not walking or standing enough. Having healthy feet can help you: get out and about, avoid falls and stay mobile.

 

This service offers:

  • Regular nail cutting surgeries throughout West Cumbria
  • We recommend cutting nails every 6 weeks
  • Basic Advice on foot care
  • Time permitting within a session a massage of the feet
  • Checks on suitable footwear
  • If necessary we can make a referral for help with foot care problems (e.g. corns or bunions) and we work closely with the NHS Podiatry service.
