What Are Your Feet Worth?

We spend hundreds on face creams and skincare, invest in ergonomic chairs, and queue for sports massages when our backs ache — but our feet? They’re the unsung heroes. They carry our weight, take the impact, and move us through life — mostly without thanks. This post introduces the medical pedicure as more than a luxury. It’s a quiet form of body maintenance. Preventive. Restorative. And essential, especially if you take your health and mobility seriously.

What Most People Get Wrong About Footcare

A cosmetic pedicure is like polishing the bonnet of your car — while ignoring the engine.

Yes, the toes may look prettier.

But pain, posture, infection, and performance all begin with function, not aesthetics.

A medical pedicure addresses:

Ingrown toenails

Calluses and pressure points

Cracked heels

Fungal infections

Skin integrity and foot posture

All in a sterile environment, overseen by a foot health specialist.

This isn’t self-care fluff. It’s bodywork.

The Real Value of a Medical Pedicure

A standard pedicure costs £20.

A medical one? Around £85–£120.

Yes, it’s more.

But so is driving with good brakes.

You walk over 3 million steps a year.

That’s about 100,000 miles in a lifetime.

Try that with untreated bunions, poor balance, or nerve damage — and see how far you get.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Isn’t a regular pedicure good enough?

It may look good yet it won’t correct deeper issues like ingrown nails, fungal build-up, or skin fissures. Beauty salons aren’t clinics. Aesthetics without hygiene is risk.

2. What happens during a medical pedicure?

Your feet are assessed, cleaned, treated, and restored by a specialist. No polish, no frills. Just evidence-based care in sterile conditions.

3. Who should consider one?

Anyone with foot pain, diabetes, arthritis, high step counts, or simply a desire to walk without wincing. Also ideal for runners, hospitality workers, and frequent travellers.

4. Is this just another wellness trend?

No. It’s closer to dentistry than to beauty. Regular maintenance now prevents painful interventions later.

5. How often should I get one?

Every 6–8 weeks is a good rhythm. Think of it like servicing your car — catch issues early, stay mobile longer.
