Professional footcare from the comfort of your own home
We understand that it can be difficult for you to attend one of our clinics for treatment and are pleased to offer a Home Visiting Service. Ideal for those who have mobility issues or who prefer not to venture out during the Pandemic.
All practitioners at First4feet are fully DBS checked and experienced in visiting clients in their own homes. If possible, we prefer a ground room where you can be seated on an upright chair such as a dining room or kitchen but will adapt treatments to your specific mobility needs where required.
It is not necessary for anyone else to be present during your appointment, such as a family member, but if you prefer to have someone with you that is fine. We will need any key codes or access codes in advance; and ask that we can obtain this information when you first book a home visit to help keep us on schedule throughout the day. If we are delayed for reasons such as traffic, we will keep in touch and let you know.
COVID-19
As a result of the pandemic we want to assure you that any visits to a domestic home will still meet the strict standards that are in place at our clinics. This includes wearing a mask, plastic apron, gloves and using alcohol gel.
Our priority is to put you at ease and alleviate any foot care issues you may be experiencing.
Treatment
Any treatment will be identical to that offered in our clinics. We may need access to a plug but will bring A PAT tested extension lead with us. We may need access to a kitchen sink and will wrap and dispose of any waste appropriately in your kitchen or bathroom bin afterwards.

Our Footcare Services
Full Foot Treatment
​
One of the most popular treatments offered across all First4Feet Foot clinics, a Full Foot Treatment will not only leave your feet feeling in tip-top condition but most importantly it can identify any issues before they become too serious and enable any required treatment to begin promptly
Toe/Finger Nail Cutting
If you struggle to cut your toenails and fingernails, possibly due to a difficulty in maintaining a safe grip of the clippers, or struggle to reach your toenails we can help. The process of how to cut toenails differs slightly from that of how to cut fingernails.
Nursing Home Visits
Are you struggling to find a reliable practitioner who can provide exceptional treatment for your residents? Do you need someone who takes the time to understand every patient and their needs, but also understands the pressures on you and your team?
