Foot Care - Elderly

With over a quarter of your body’s bones in your feet and the average human walking over a thousand miles each years, it’s safe to say your feet carry you around for many years and our goal is to keep them carrying you for many more years to come!

For this reason, we endeavour to keep our seniors moving by making them comfortable with taking care of their feet.

Quite often, as one ages, nails thicken, skin can become more fragile and arthritic or painful conditions in the feet can arise. Impaired circulation and existing medical conditions such as diabetes or arthritis can make it difficult for seniors to maintain their foot health. For this reason, general foot care is imperative for our elderly population to keep them healthy, moving and in great shape. All they need to do is come in, sit down and relax! We take care of the rest.

At our clinic, we provide a range of services for our Gold Card holders- with the benefit of a 10% Gold Card Discount!
