Foot Care for All
Offering Value Podiatry
The past and now giving back
Our philosophy
Dependable Service
As some Podiatrists move away from offering routine foot care, At Solecare Podiatry, we pride ourselves in offering all aspects of the profession. From trimming toe nails, to callus and corns, we will be there meeting the needs of all Cantabrians. Happily settled in our new clinic proudly serving Avonhead, Ilam, Riccarton, Russley and wider Christchurch.
Hands on training
Our Podiatry degrees were a mixture of hands on and classroom study, we were lucky to have received 1500 hours of clinical experience; treating members of the public at the University clinic and within UK hospital settings. The BSc with honours degree covered key areas, vital for our everyday case loads and prepared us for a fulfilling career ahead.
Good value podiatry care for all of our patients, old and new
At Solecare we very hard to keep the cost of our services at a reasonable level and less than other providers. To do this we save on overall running costs, but not sacrificing overall quality and standards. For example: we send free email appointment confirmations and reminders instead of texts that have a cost, not having a full-time receptionist, shopping around on consumables or not being located in an expensive mall or state of the art building. By watching these small things, it's enabled us to keep fee increases to a minimum and make our service more accessible for all.
Helping the next generation
As a profession, Podiatry is a vital cog in our nations healthcare needs. However, accroding to a wide reaching government study, we are losing newly qualified practitioners at a concerning rate. From 2025 Solecare Podiatry, will be offering mentorship and practical help for under graduate/ new graduate Podiatrists. We were blessed to receive a first class education, that focused on hands-on skills, we'd like to pass these on to the next generation. Weekend workshop sessions with hands on practice of manual podiatry skills. Contact us for more information.
