Healthy Feet, Happy Life: Why Seniors Shouldn't Ignore Their Foot Health


Let’s be honest, our feet don’t always get the love they deserve. They carry us through life, yet we often forget about them… until they start causing problems. And as we age, those problems can become more common and more serious.

At Perform Podiatry, we’re passionate about keeping your feet healthy, mobile, and pain-free, especially in your later years when staying independent and active matters more than ever.

Why Foot Health Becomes More Important with Age?

Think about it: our feet take thousands of steps a day over decades. Wear and tear, chronic conditions like arthritis or diabetes, and changes in circulation can start showing up for many older adults. Additionally, foot issues can mean more than just discomfort, they can affect balance, mobility, and overall confidence getting around.

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to live with it. We’re here to help!

How We Care for Feet at Perform Podiatry?

We understand that every foot (and person!) is different. That’s why our care is always personalised, thorough, and tailored to what the patient requires.

👣 Thorough Foot Assessments- Your journey starts with a comprehensive check-up. Whether it’s bunions, heel pain, toenail issues, or nerve-related discomfort like pins and needles, we’re here to get to the root of it and offer real solutions.

💉 Expert Diabetic Foot Care- Living with diabetes? Your feet need extra attention. We help you stay ahead of complications by treating small problems before they become big ones.

🧾 Personalised Plans- From orthotics and footwear advice to physical therapy or minor procedures, your treatment plan is designed just for you. Our goal? Help you move better and feel better, without unnecessary fuss.

🧼 Prevention and Education- We love to teach our patients how to care for their feet between visits. From choosing the right shoes to easy foot-strengthening exercises and skincare tips, we’re all about helping you stay proactive.

Take the Next Step

You deserve to move confidently and comfortably, no matter your age. Whether you’re looking for preventative care, have a long-standing issue that needs sorting, or just want a second opinion, we’re here to help.

Walking Shoes vs Running Shoes: What’s the Difference And What Should You Be Wearing?

If you’re unsure whether you should wear walking or running shoes when exercising, this article is for you.

We explain the differences between walking and running shoes and how to determine which one is best for your feet. When it comes to buying a new pair of shoes, most people walk into a store expecting to just “find something comfy.” Then, suddenly, you’re asked: Are you looking for walking shoes or running shoes? And that’s where the confusion begins. Because for many people, the answer isn’t that simple.

You could walk a lot – to work, around the block, chasing after the kids, or while catching up with friends. You could have also just joined a gym or registered for the Couch to 5km. Or you could be a walker who just wants the option to go for a run if the mood strikes. So, which shoe do you pick?
