FOOTNOTES
BESPOKE ORTHOTICS
Bespoke Orthotics are custom made insoles designed specifically for your unique foot shape, gait and lifestyle requirements.
As well as correcting your gait, they are used to treat conditions such as:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Bursitis
- Arthritis
- Over pronation (flat feet)
- Supination (high arches)
- Hypermobility
Even though you can walk, any poor alignment or uneven pressure distrubution could eventually lead to discomfort in not just your feet, but also your knees, hips, and lower back. A gait abnormality isn’t just discomfort with walking, it can also lead to a range of physical and emotion issues if left uncorrect.
Your feet are the foundation of your entire body. Bespoke orthotics provide the absolute best targeted support and relief for your individual condition(s).

YOU DESERVE THE BEST AND SO DO YOUR FEET
PRE-WINTER NAIL CARE
As cosy footwear replaces summer sandals it is esential that we don’t forget about our nails.
NOW is an ideal time to get them winter ready with a podiatry appointment to:
- Professionally trim and shape your nails – this will provide comfort as well as help prevent ingrowing toenails, an issue that is more likely to occur when toes are confined in enclosed shoes.
- Remove any calluses and corns – to ensure your comfort and prevent dry skin catching on socks.
- Check for fungal infections like athlete’s foot or fungal nail – enclosed shoes can create a warm and damp environment which fungal infections need to thrive. Early detection can prevent infections from spreading and causing further complications.
Alternatively, treat yourself to one of our therapeutic treatments which, in addition to the above, also includes a relaxing and moisturising massage and/or a soothing warm wax treatment.
A professional podiatry appointment now can prevent discomfort later.

ENSURE YOUR TOES EMERGE FROM WINTER LOOKING JUST AS FRESH S THEY DID IN SUMMER
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY – A BREAKTHROUGH TREATMENT FOR PLANTAR FASCIITIS
Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common causes of stubborn heel pain, with many cases proving resistant to conservative treatment like rest and stretches.
More and more clinicians are now using ShockWAVE as their preferred treatment for subborn heel pain because:
- It is up to 91% effective
- It is non-invasive
- It does not require any rest time post treatment
- It can be conducted in a series of quick 30-minute appointments
It works by sending high energy acoustic waves into the affected tissue. These waves:
- Stimulate blood flow
- Accelerate tissue repair
- Reduce imflammation
All of which are very effective at relieving the chronic pain of plantar fasciitis.
SWIFT TREATMENT FOR STUBBORN VERRUCAE
Swift microwave treatment offers an impressive 83% success rate, making it one of the most effective treatments available for subborn verrucae.
This non-invasive therapy works by using targeted microwave energy to treat verrucae at their source. This stimulates the body’s natural immune response, targeting the root cause of the verrucae virus from the inside out.
Other benefits of this innovative treatment include:
- Quick and convenient sessions
- No anaesthetic required
- No post treatment downtime
- Suitable for most patients (please speak to your podiatrist for confirmation that you are a suitable candidate)
- Long term relief – Swift helps eliminate not just the wart but the virus that causes it. That means a lower chance of recurrence.
Call us on 01722 340057 for more information or to book an appointment.
New patients will require a diagnostic appointment prior to treatment.
HELLO SWIFT,
GOODBYE VERRUCAE
Had podiatrist who visited at home for my mother’s treatment but she has now moved from the area so, having been to TFH a few years ago managed to arrange a double appointment for Mum and myself. Jo treated both of us and was very patient with Mum and explained everything to us both as she went along – so nothing was a mystery! Both of us left with light feet and look forward to our return appointments.
