Pre-appointment notes
Please note that although we can attend to multiple different ailments in one appointment, it may take a series of appointments to resolve or effectively maintain your ailments.
Severity of ailments will dictate position in the queue of treatment – over treating could cause more trauma than not treating.
Please remove nail polish (including gel polish) prior to your appointment. We do not have the facility to remove this and nails cannot be assessed with polish/gel present.
Please do not wash or soak feet for at least 2 hours before your appointment – this is important so that feet can be assessed in their natural state.
