All of these life choices or impairments can result in foot issues as 85% of the world population can attest to. So tell me do you have painful feet or heels? Do you have unsightly or even painful hard or rough skin? Cracked heels? Thickened nails? Are you prone to ingrown toenails? What about athletes’ foot?

All of these conditions can become really quite debilitating if left untreated and can start to affect the rest of the body as we alter the way we walk to compensate for any discomfort felt which in turn means that other areas of the body start to hurt as well like a domino effect. But the good news is they can all be improved with the right foot care.

So what is a pedicure? I hear you ask. Besides being relaxing, in simple terms it is a bit like a facial but for the feet, it is a treatment process that maintains and/or improves the condition of the nails and feet. This can include processes such as trimming and filing of the nails, softening and trimming of overgrown cuticles, hard skin treatment, foot soaking, exfoliation, moisturising and massage to name a few, so what are the benefits of having a pedicure?

Having a regular pedicure not only gives a well-groomed appearance but it frees the nail from the cuticle and wall preventing hangnails. The toe nail edges are kept short, smooth and straight reducing the risk of ingrowing toe nails or nail lifting from shoe impact (especially for runners and hikers), good regular nail care will also prevent minor damage like splits and flaking whilst helping to strengthen the nails and improve dry nails.

When your feet are seen on a regular basis the condition of them will be improved but more importantly the therapist is in a great position to be able to spot any changes and potential for infection which is especially helpful for those that can’t get to their feet to inspect them.
