– After removing your shoes and socks, we will examine your feet for skin, nail or structural deformities.
– We will also take a look at your shoes to make sure that they fit well and are suitable for you.
– After this, we carry out a Neurological assessment (checking for loss of feeling) and a Vascular assessment (checking for reduced blood circulation).
Based on this assessment, you are given advice on how to properly manage your feet and how often they should be assessed.
