Hairy feet aren't always bad feet. But then it depends on your perspective. If you worry about your feet. Seeing a podiatrist does make sense. And you don't have to go all the way to Middle Earth either. #podsfixfeet
I know I give 100% of my energy to getting people better using all the skills that I have. And this was brought home for me this week, when I had a really cool message from a patient. Yep, that gave me a nice warm feeling. #podsfixfeet
Private practice can be a bit lonely. So it's been great to work in clinic with one of my associates, Ian. He's a superstar. Really knows his podiatry. But it's a great chance to learn from each other. Support each other. And work together. #podsfixfeet#bettertogether
I'm not talking about that kind of tape. The kind of tape I'm talking about is the medical stuff. The stuff that we use to help with injuries. It's actually a relatively simple thing to apply & it helps us to understand how load on your body is causing problems #podsfixfeet
Unlike the Jedi. Podiatrists aren't mythical characters from a film. We're real. Very real. And if you have foot and leg pain we're very close by. #podsfixfeet
We see a lot of foot fungus. Loads in fact. Some subtle. Some not so subtle. But most we can help with. Advice. Changes. And some treatment from us makes a massive difference. #podsfixfeet#footmagic#isthatamushroominyourshoes
I'm a real fan of words. The right words can move mountains. The wrong ones can be destructive. The words we use are as important as the treatments we give. Because we are not just treating the feet and legs. We are treating the whole individual. #footandlegmagic#podsfixfeet
"Dave James, you're my hero" is something that gets said to me a lot. Why? Well, when you get people back on their feet. They can do the things they love to do. Walking, Running, Golf (if you really have to). And that does make me a hero. As are all podiatrists. #podsfixfeet
I used to think that podiatrists were heroes. But, seeing how we help people has made me realise that actually we're not. We're actually the guide. Who the hell is the hero? The hero is you. The patient. It's you that does the hard work in between appointments. #podsfixfeet
Walking is a complex process. A combination of nerves, muscles, and timing. When it works, man that's cool. When it doesn't, that ain't fun. Sometimes we guide you by telling you to walk this way. Which helps to change the load going through your body. #podsfixfeet#walkthisway

Yay, it's almost the weekend! There's immense pleasure in getting out with my dog. So if you have a dog, get out this weekend and enjoy! If you don't have a dog, get out this weekend and enjoy anyway! (If you're a dog - woof, growl, bark, good dog) #podsfixfeet#footmagic
