podiatry

(Available on Thursday afternoons and evenings)

Taking good care of your feet is important to your long term foot health and mobility.  Incorrect fitting shoes and continued pronation/supination can cause many problems, including many painful complaints such as foot, ankle, knee and back pain.

Customised insoles are designed specifically to the needs of each individual foot, tailored in every way to ensure that your feet, ankle and body alignment are maintained in a neutral position and your muscles and joints are protected. By doing this, the foot is able to function correctly and the posture of your body improves.  The ankles straighten, the knees assume their natural position and alignment of the back improves – allowing the body to function normally.

prosthetic toenails/modern toenail correction/wilde-pedique

(Available on Thursday afternoons and evenings)

The Wilde-Pedique’s system is a one component, light cured, Acrylester resin developed specifically for corrective and restorative toenail treatments. It has hypoallergenic characteristics with no specific contra-indications to its usage, along with durability and a high quality finish that does not discolour. Wilde-Pedique is an effective treatment for clients who have:

Nails damaged by trauma, thickening of the nails (Onychauuxis), corns under the nail plate (Subungal) and for those who may have an infected nail matrix (fungal) and who may be taking, orally, a systemic fungicide to deal with any internal infection. The overlay is also effective with scaly surfaces, in-growing toenails, ridges, deformations, masking discoloration and for protecting newly growing toenails. The resin, which is an elastic gel, adjusts to the movements of the nails and feet and will protect the bone beneath the nail plate area by acting as a scaffolding and shock absorber.

The resin is especially ideal for important occasions like weddings and parties where a nail can be applied as a temporary measure to skin if the whole nail has been lost. For a special effect the nail can be finished off with Wilde-Pedique’s in-built French Manicure; which does not chip immediately unlike modern day nail varnishes.
