I'm worried about cross-contamination. What measures do you take?

I insist on only the highest hygiene standards. I have a brand new state-of-the-art Enigma 8 litre autoclave, which is used to sterilise all instraments after they have been thoroughly cleaned in an ultrasonic bath. They are sterilised in seeled pouches so they are completely sterile right up to being used on your feet. I practice good hand hygiene and wear single use PPE.

You do not need to anything special in advance of a visit. I will pre-cleanse your feet with Clinisept+ Podiatry - a high standard cleansing antimicrobial foot care spray.

I have a metal allergy. Can you still treat me?

All my tools are made from high grade hypoallergenic steel. In the unlikely event you have an allergy to steel, please let me know in advance. 

Can you trim finger nails too?

Yes I can do that whilst I'm visiting you, for a small extra charge.
