Foot health education

Foot health education is the use of expert podiatry knowledge and opinion in order to encourage patients to look after their feet and manage any foot health problems.

What is foot health education?

Foot health education is a method of preventing foot health problems by empowering patients and carers with the information they need to care for their own feet and the feet of those whom they look after.

The purpose of foot health education is to encourage the public to manage their own foot health using methods of self-care and help from family members, friends and carers as a way of avoiding problems developing in the future or managing any existing conditions that have already arisen.

A podiatrist can provide information ranging from how to self-care and the most appropriate footwear to maintaining good foot hygiene.

Foot health education is focused on providing encouragement, confidence and reassurance.
