People come to Feet for Life for many reasons. In the simplest instances it may be for simple advice about problems or for a foot check-up. Some people come to us for a ‘medical pedicure’ –a 30 minute general foot treatment, a very popular service, comprising of nail trimming, cleansing, removal of hard skin/corns and sanding of areas. This is completed with full moisturisation of the foot, application of powder and nail oil with massage.
