What is a foot health assessment?

A foot health assessment takes just a few minutes and is generally completed on an initial appointment and then thereafter every few months, depending on the level of health risk. It’s a very useful measure, particularly for diabetic clients and anyone at risk of neuropathy, etc. The test comprises of a series of simple tests on the feet and lower limbs to evaluate the quality of skin, nails, circulation, sensation and mobility. The reason we do this is to discern whether there is a potential health risk, the level of that risk, which offers us a marker for future tests to gauge whether there has been any deterioration since the previous test.
