Foot Health
Smile Concepts are delighted to introduce Janet (Jan) Kitchen, our Foot Health Practitioner. Jan will be responsible for looking after your foot health care. It is vital to maintain the health of our feet, being as the average person uses their feet to walk around 150,000 miles in a lifetime – the equivalent to walking around the world five times. Moreover, the foot is one of the body’s most complex ‘machines’ with a total of 26 bones.
What is a Foot Health Practitioner?
A Foot Health Practitioner (FHP) is qualified to provide routine foot care and maintenance for your feet. They can assess the condition of your feet and treat as appropriate, or if necessary refer you to a specialist. Whatever your age, looking after your feet is one of the most important aspects of personal health care. Our feet are with us our whole lifetime and an increasing number of people need some form of simple foot care to maintain the wellbeing of their feet and ensure they remain mobile, with an excellent quality of life.
