Foot Mobilisation Therapy (FMT)

Pain in the ankles, feet and toes which can be caused by arthritic changes, injury or illness. What is often happening in these areas is that the soft tissue surrounding the joints have developed increased tone which restricts movement and can make the areas tender to touch and hurt when we stand or move and sometimes even when we are at rest. One of the techniques to improve the movement of these joints and to reduce the feelings of pain is Foot Mobilisation Therapy (FMT). This involves a gentle manipulation of the joint by increasing the range of motion and increasing the messages of pain relief to the brain.

Nail Surgery

We always try and treat ingrowing toenails conservatively but sometimes the only way to solve a recurring problematic toenail is to remove part or all of it completely. It may sound a little daunting but it really is quite straightforward. We put some local anesthetic into your toe to numb the pain completely, take the problematic part of the nail away and dress it with a large bandage which is replaced by a much smaller dressing a couple of days later.

Nail surgery is performed on a Saturday morning at a price of £360 and then £100 for each additional toe nail to be removed at the same time.
