What does a Foot Health Practitioner do?

A Foot Health Practitioner (FHP) is a trained professional who helps people care for their feet, especially when problems make everyday life uncomfortable. They bridge the gap between basic foot care at home and more specialist medical treatment.

Here’s what a Foot Health Practitioner typically does:

• Routine Foot Care – Trimming and thinning toenails, reducing thickened or fungal nails, and managing problem nails that are painful or difficult to cut.

• Corns & Calluses – Removing hard skin and treating corns to relieve discomfort and make walking easier.

• Cracked Heels – Gently reducing dry, hard skin and supporting healing so the feet feel more comfortable.

• Ingrown Toenails – Managing painful or recurring ingrown nails to reduce irritation and prevent infection.

• Foot Pain & Pressure Relief – Using padding, strapping, or simple orthotic advice to ease discomfort and improve mobility.

• Diabetic & High-Risk Foot Care – Monitoring and caring for feet that need extra attention due to reduced circulation, sensitivity, or healing ability.

• Education & Advice – Offering guidance on footwear, self-care, circulation, and keeping feet healthy day-to-day.

At Pure Sole Wellness, the focus goes beyond just treating symptoms. Care is holistic—helping people feel more grounded, balanced, and confident in their movement. Healthy feet support foundation, balance, mobility, and circulation, which are all essential for overall wellbeing
