—Hi I’m Rebecca, and I am a Podiatrist

About Me
A graduate of Plymouth University, I currently split my week working as a Diabetes and Wound Care Specialist, building the skills and knowledge to assess and treat the diabetic foot, with the remainder of the week working for myself, providing a variety of foot treatments in the comfort of peoples’ own homes.
As I said, I am a Podiatrist; but in essence a Podiatrist and Chiropodist are the same thing. Just like a Chemist and Pharmacist are the same, but as with both professions, the ‘P’ titles are internationally recognized.
People often ask me why feet?
The answer is simple… everyone has them and most of the time we take them completely for granted until something goes wrong. I have therefore chosen a career where I can help people stay mobile, active and pain free, plus provide a little extra something to make them look pretty.
— What can I do for you?

General Foot Care Treatment - £40

All treatments are customised to the individual and include a detailed foot assessment, nail care, safe surgical removal of hard skin callus and/or corns finishing with application of foot cream. Prices are as standard but can vary to reflect your needs. Why not contact me to discuss a personalised treatment plan?

Medical Pedicure (Medi-Pedi)

The medical pedicure is a fusion of health and beauty. Performed on a dry sole the medi-pedi combines a general foot care treatment, with particular care paid to the shape and cuticle, and finishes with buffing of the nails using LCN boost care for a high shine. The treatment is completed with a lower leg and foot massage to reduce tension, moisturize and illuminate the skin on your feet.

Medi-Pedi plus Laqish Nail Polish

Fancy something extra special? Why not have a medi-pedi to shape and prepare the nails before an LCN light curing nail polish is applied to enhance the appearance of the nail? Quick drying, no smudges and utilizes a medical application of polish to reduce the likelihood of cross contamination. LCN products are also not tested on animals.

Diabetic Foot Check - £50

Diabetes is a complex disease, which requires regular foot checks to identify and prevent problems. A diabetic foot check will include a general foot care treatment, vascular and sensory testing, tailored education, information leaflets and a letter to your GP to inform them of your current Diabetic Health Status. A Diabetic Foot Check should be carried out annually or if you think you are experiencing changes in your foot health.

Biomechanical Examination

Abnormal walking patterns and foot deformity can cause pain in your feet hips knees and lower back. A detailed assessment of your gait, muscle strength and footwear can help identify problems. Treatment can be prescribed in the form of footwear, stretching and strengthening and/or orthotics (insoles) if required. Suitability and cost of custom-made or prefabricated orthotics will be discussed as part of your treatment strategy.

Speciality Treatments

Prendē Podicure Wax Therapy - Feel the therapeutic and healing effect of a warm wax therapy containing essential oils to help decrease the build-up of callus, moisturize dry skin and ease foot pain and stiff muscles.
Wilde-Pedique Restorative Toenail Treatment - Light cured gel system to aid the treatment of mycosis (fungal infection), to replace damaged or non-existent nails caused by trauma, and to cover growing or thickened nails.

Rest assured, I am a registered Podiatrist with the Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC), which is the regulatory body that sets standards to protect you and as such my prices reflect my level of training. Where appropriate my practices are evidence based with up to date equipment. I offer home visits across most of the Bay, Teignbridge and South Hams area.
I can also supply treatments for residents within residential or nursing homes, depending on the number of residents and complexity of their needs this can be offered a discounted rate. I can offer evening and weekend appointments to suit your needs.
