Welcome to Celine McCready BSc Hons DPodM MSCh SRCh State Registered Podiatrist specialising in Chiropody, Aromatherapy and Reflexology.
Reflexology
The ancient healing art of reflexology has been known for many thousands of years. Congestion or tension in any part of the foot mirrors congestion or tension in a related part of the body. For instance, the head is the first zone, for example by manipulating the big toe you also treat the head. Treating the whole foot can have a relaxing and healing effect on the body.
How can reflexology help you?
The body has the ability to heal itself. Following illenss, stress, injury or disease the body is in a state of "imbalance". Reflexology can be used to restore and maintain the body's natural equilibrium.

Orthotic Devices
Orthotic Devices are based on detailed measurements taken by a Chiropodists. They normalize the anatomical relationship between the different segments of the foot and thus correct the way the foot functions when it moves.
If your foot does not rest properly on the ground, your body will compensate for it and this will put strain on the joints elsewhere, conversely, you may have a sore back or hip and when you alter the way you walk your feet begin to hurt.
Orthotics devies can help eliminate not only foot complaints, such as corns, callous, plantar fasciitis (inflammation of the sole of the foot) and metatarsalgia (pain in the ball of the foot), but also pain in the ankle, knee, back, neck and shoulder.
Before prescribing arthotics chiropodists carry out a biomechanical assessment that involves seeing how the patient stands and moves.
How your feet affect you!
If your feet are sore you're sore all over. This is particularly so for the elderly and those who suffer from diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and poor circulation. Mobility and independence are essential to the quality of life and should not be considered a luxury. Unfortunately, for many, immobility is common cause of painful feet.
A visit to Celine McCready could dramatically improve mobility and help maintain fit, active and pain free feet.
With its 26 bones, 33 muscles and over 100 ligaments, the foot supports and helps balance the entire weight of the body. Proper care and attention are as important at an early age to ensure correct growth, as they are later on in life to keep feet functioning well.
