A note for GP's
We’ve published a patient communication to help them help themselves to healthier feet, in a preventative way, before problems start.
Feet that ‘feel’ good inspire and support movement. So why aren’t more people ‘foot healthy’ and moving?
‘Out of sight, out of mind’:
Sadly, this is very true for one’s feet. Human beings ignore their feet until there’s a problem. As you know, the results can be chronic problems with ankles, knees, hips, back and neck, which can impact overall health and wellbeing.
Cramming more into your 10-minute consultations isn’t the answer – Patient behaviour change is.
At Fitter Feet for life, we would like to help you educate your patients:
- To see and recognise the signs of a developing problem,
- and To have the confidence to say something and seek your advice sooner.
Patient awareness and participation in the care of their own feet is key to healthier feet.
