Elder Foot Issues & Solutions
Comfort, balance and mobility-focused foot care that supports staying active and independent.
Overview
As we age, feet naturally lose some of their cushioning, flexibility and circulation, which makes everyday foot care more important, not less.
Addressing changes early helps protect comfort, balance and independence, rather than simply adapting quietly as symptoms build up over time.
- Thinning of the fat pads that cushion the sole
- Reduced circulation, sometimes felt as cold feet or slower healing
- Thickened, brittle toenails that are harder to trim safely
- Arthritis-related stiffness, swelling or joint pain
- Reduced balance, often linked to foot pain or poor footwear

Frequently Asked Questions
When to book a check: any wound that’s slow to heal, sudden changes in colour, temperature or sensation, a noticeable change in balance, or an increase in trips and falls are all good reasons to get assessed.
Foot pain, poor-fitting footwear and untreated foot conditions can all affect balance; addressing them is often a helpful part of a wider balance strategy.

A regular annual check is a reasonable starting point; your clinician may suggest more frequent visits depending on your circumstances.
