“‘It feels like I’ve got glass in my foot’ — I hear this all the time…”

“A lot of clients come in thinking something is stuck inside their foot 👀
But more often than not… it’s actually a corn.

Corns can create a sharp, stabbing pain—especially when walking—because of the pressure building in that area.

The key is not just removing it… but understanding why it formed in the first place.

That’s where proper treatment (and prevention) comes in 👣✨”

Cuticles are not “extra skin” — they’re protection.

And this is something I see far too often in clinic…

Clients coming in with:
• Painful nail infections
• Swelling around the nail
• Changes in nail growth

All linked to one common habit — cutting the cuticle.

The cuticle acts as a seal between your nail and skin.

Once that seal is broken repeatedly, it opens the door for:
→ Bacteria
→ Fungal infections
→ Ongoing inflammation

Now this isn’t about blaming nail techs — there are amazing professionals out there.

But it is about awareness.

Because healthy nails should always come before aesthetics.

✨ You don’t need to cut cuticles to have beautiful nails
✨ Gentle care > aggressive prep
✨ Long-term nail health matters

If you’re someone who regularly gets your nails done…
this is something to start paying attention to.

Save this for your next appointment 🤍

Your regular pedicure shouldn’t be removing ingrown toenails.

Ingrown nails may seem small, but removing them incorrectly can cause:

1️⃣ Infection – if the nail spike isn’t removed properly
2️⃣ Recurring pain – when the root cause isn’t addressed
3️⃣ Damage to the nail or skin

A podiatrist or foot specialist is trained to safely remove the ingrowing nail, relieve the pressure and guide you on how to stop it coming back.

✨ This is one of the many things included in a medical pedicure that a regular pedicure cannot provide.

Healthy feet > temporary fixes.

Podiatrists and nail techs don’t need to compete — we need to collaborate 👣🤍

If you’re a podiatrist, here are 3 things I truly believe matter when working alongside nail techs:

1️⃣ Respect their skill set — nail techs are incredible at maintenance, aesthetics, and building strong client relationships.

2️⃣ Refer when medical care isn’t needed — not every client needs ongoing podiatry. If their feet are healthy, let them enjoy their nail appointments.

3️⃣ Educate, don’t criticise — collaboration works when we support each other, not talk down.

At the end of the day, it’s not podiatrists versus nail techs — it’s podiatrists and nail techs.

Because when we work together, clients get:
✨ Safer care
✨ Better results
✨ Healthier feet

I work with nail techs all the time — and I love it.
So many of you reach out for advice, and that’s exactly how it should be.

Podiatrists and nail techs can absolutely work together 👏🏽
It’s not about competition — it’s about knowing when to refer and keeping clients safe.

✨ Safer clients
✨ Better outcomes

Let’s work together — not against each other.

Let’s talk foot dermal fillers 🪄🦶

You may have seen my recent post where I was injecting into the feet — and yes, it was done very intentionally.

Dermal fillers are an innovative podiatry treatment designed to add extra cushioning under tender areas of the foot, especially where the natural fat pad has reduced over time.

✨ We use hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body
✨ Helps cushion painful pressure points like corns
✨ Can improve comfort, mobility & support
✨ Ideal for those where traditional care hasn’t been enough

This isn’t about trends — it’s about evolving foot care and offering solutions that actually support your lifestyle.
