Who wants to talk about feet?
From my experience there are only a select few that do. Either they are Podiatrists or foot care professionals and they will talk to you about your feet until they are blue in the face. Or there is another type of person, but this blog is not aimed at them!
Good foot health is essential for your movement and mobility. There is nothing worse than putting your foot down on the ground and having a pain somewhere remind you that you need to see somebody. It’s not even like it is a pain that will go away as it nags at you every step that you take.
In this blog, we will explore some of the things that you can do to keep your feet healthy and well.
The foot is a complex part of your body and is made up of muscles, joints, bones and tendons which all work together to help you bend, flex and move your foot. There are so many things that could go wrong with your foot just from these, not counting all the other conditions that you could have.
With the summer coming upon us and the weather improving, we will be using (and showcasing) our feet more often, so good foot health is essential!
Here are Xavier’s Top Tips for Healthy Feet:
If you have any doubts about the health of your feet, our friendly podiatrists in our Sittingbourne and Maidstone clinics will be more than happy to answer any questions that you might have.
Wishing you great foot health!
What is Pulmonary Rehabilitation?
"Xcel Health is amazing! My son (age 8) first had treatment there and amazing and big improvements. So helpful. I am having treatment for my ankle and walking issues with Xavier. The pain has gone from 10(being the worst) to 4 and that’s in four appointments. I can now walk without pain, put shoes without pain and now go back too exercise!! I can even go running without pain. Xavier is great and makes me feel comfortable and explains everything in detail."

"I have just had my third session with Xavier and am beyond delighted with my experience of Xcel Health. Xavier is a tremendous physio but what has struck me most about the whole process is the welcoming nature of the entire team.The guys clearly care about the mental health side as much as the physical and are easy to talk to and extremely empathetic.I would recommend Xcel to anybody, outstanding service!"

"I was pretty confident I knew what the problem was when I arrived for my first appointment. It turned out to be something completely different.Xavier explained everything really well without going too technical. I like to understand what’s going on and how to fix it so it was really refreshing that Xavier did that without needing to ask him. I have exercises to help support my recovery but not just a bit of paper or a video to watch, Xavier asked me to do each exercise before I left so that I could feel what muscles I’m trying to engage and He could make adjustments to my positioning so that I get the most out of my effort."
