🛑 STEP AWAY FROM THE CORN PLASTERS! 🛑

Today, I saw a patient who was in absolute desperation and severe pain. The culprit? A standard over-the-counter corn plaster.

It’s a story we see far too often. You feel a painful lump on your foot/toe, pop down to the chemist, and buy a packet of medicated plasters thinking it’s a quick fix.
But here is what they don’t tell you: most corn plasters contain salicylic acid.
This acid doesn't know the difference between the hard corn and your healthy, delicate surrounding skin. When applied, it can easily shift, causing:
⚠️ Severe chemical burns
⚠️ Raw, open wounds
⚠️ Intense, throbbing pain (often much worse than the original corn!)
⚠️ A high risk of infection
For anyone with diabetes or poor circulation, using these can be incredibly dangerous.
The safe, pain-free alternative?
As Foot Health Practitioners, We can gently, safely, and painlessly remove the corn right in the clinic, giving you instant relief without damaging your skin. We will also figure out why the corn formed in the first place.

If our feet keep our brain going… we better get walking. Are your feet in a good condition to walk ?

🧠🚶‍♀️ Move Your Body, Grow Your Brain 🚶‍♂️🧠

For decades, we believed the adult brain couldn’t grow new neurons. We now know that’s simply not true.

Research published in “Frontiers in Neuroscience” shows that aerobic exercise can stimulate the growth of new brain cells in the hippocampus — the part of the brain responsible for memory and learning. One of the key reasons? A powerful protein called BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), often described as “fertilizer for the brain.”

The amazing part is that it doesn’t take extreme workouts to benefit.

✨ Walking
✨ Dancing
✨ Swimming
✨ Gardening
✨ Pilates or Yoga
✨ Any movement you enjoy

Regular movement increases blood flow, oxygen, and the brain-supporting chemicals your body needs to stay sharp, resilient, and healthy.

If your mind has been feeling foggy, slower, or more fatigued lately, your body may simply be asking for movement.

Every step you take is a vote for a healthier brain. 💚

At Jill Drew Physiotherapy Clinic, we believe movement is medicine — not just for your muscles and joints, but for your mind too.

What kind of movement brings you joy? Tell us below 👇

Do You Have Painful or Curved Nails?

We are currently looking for 2 patients who are booked in with Vicki and may benefit from nail bracing. This is new treatment to Sole at Heart from this week, that we believe is going to make such a difference to your painful nails.

There will be no extra cost added to your treatment. We simply ask for your consent to allow us to take clinical photographs for social media purposes.

Nail bracing is a gentle, non-invasive treatment designed to help reduce pain and discomfort from involuted or curved nails by gradually encouraging the nail to grow into a flatter, more natural shape. It can help relieve pressure, improve comfort, and reduce the likelihood of recurring nail problems.

This treatment may be particularly beneficial for anyone experiencing painful, curved, or ingrown-prone nails.

If this is something you may be interested in, please let us know prior to you appointments so we can ensure enough time is allowed.

Did you know that, on average, a person walks the equivalent of five times around the entire world in their lifetime? 🌍👣

It’s one of those facts that makes you stop and think about something we do every single day without even noticing.

We rely on our feet every single day, but they’re usually the last part of the body we think about caring for. They carry us through everything work, travel, exercise, long days on our feet and we tend to only notice them when something starts to hurt.

It’s a bit unfair when you think about it. No other part of us does so much with so little attention.
A little reminder: our feet don’t just “work”… they work hard, quietly, every day. And they deserve care before they start asking for it. 👣

Don’t wait until your feet are screaming in pain before giving them the attention they deserve 👣

So many foot problems can be prevented or treated early with regular foot health check-ups. Corns, cracked heels, fungal nails, verrucas, ingrown toenails and painful pressure points often start as small issues but when ignored, they can quickly become painful and harder to manage.

At Sole at Heart Foot Clinic, we’re seeing more people waiting until they are in significant discomfort before booking an appointment. Unfortunately, by that stage treatment can take longer.
Appointments are in high demand..We are currently fully booked into June, which shows just how important it is to plan ahead and keep on top of your foot health regularly rather than waiting for pain to begin.

Your feet carry you every single day,preventative care matters 💙

Regular check-ups can help:
✔ Prevent painful conditions
✔ Detect problems early
✔ Improve comfort and mobility
✔ Keep nails and skin healthy
✔ Support diabetic foot care
✔ Reduce risk of infection

Listen to your feet today for a healthier tomorrow.

💪 Your muscles don’t know how old you are — they only know how often you use them. 💪

One of the most important things we can do for our health at ANY age is to keep our muscles strong and active. Strength training isn’t just for athletes or younger people — it’s essential for maintaining independence, balance, mobility, bone health, and confidence throughout life.

As we age, we naturally lose muscle mass and strength, but the good news is that our bodies respond incredibly well to regular movement and resistance exercise, no matter when we start.

Helpful strengthening activities can include:
✔️ Walking hills or stairs
✔️ Resistance bands
✔️ Bodyweight exercises like sit-to-stands or wall push-ups
✔️ Pilates or yoga
✔️ Weight training with dumbbells or machines
✔️ Swimming or aqua exercise
✔️ Gardening, carrying shopping and everyday functional movement

The key is consistency — small amounts done regularly can make a huge difference over time.

At Jill Drew Physiotherapy, we help people of all ages build strength safely and confidently, whether you’re recovering from injury, managing pain, or simply wanting to stay active and independent.

It’s never too early — or too late — to get stronger. 🌿
