It's Okay

The festive season – It’s the most wonderful time of the year, yes?
For a lot of people, it can be the hardest time of the year for many reasons.
You can feel anxious, overwhelmed, sad, lonely, angry and so many other emotions.
Take time out to check on friends, family and neighbours.
We often don’t know anyone else’s battles but a kind word or an “are you okay?” could mean so much to them.


It’s okay to be anxious
It’s okay to be sad
It’s okay to need time alone
It’s okay to cry
It’s okay to reach out to others
It’s okay to talk
….and it’s okay to ask for help

We offer an excellent counselling service with our experienced Counsellor, Angela.

Tension in your tootsies? Don't get your tinsel in a tangle....

Take breaks, stretch your ankles and feet. Numbness is a sure-fire sign that your feet need a break. Don’t grin through the pain. Instead, pop a cute pair of fold up flats in your bag and the moment the coast is clear, put them on and enjoy being on your feet again.
If problems persist contact your local podiatrist for some advice.


Give yourself a massage (or book an appointment at WeaverHouse). Rub your feet, shins and calves with moisturising lotion. This will bring nourishing blood to the achy area which helps ease pain.


If you’re only wearing heels once in a while, then you shouldn’t see any lasting effects. However, if you are, give us a call on 01270 629933

Festive Feet

When you're flat out on the run up to Christmas you need to make sure your feet are prepared too. Continuing on from our last blog, make a note of the following top tips from our Podiatrist, Michael. 

Get in training, mix up your shoes and alternate each day between flats, low heels and high heels to give you and your feet a break. Flats can be festive too!



Use cushions, pads or gel insoles that fit into your shoes to make your feet more comfortable. They may not make you a better dancer but they will keep you out there for longer.


Save your super high heels for special occasions and try to wear heels of no more than 3cms or less. Also, the wider the heel the better the stability, so your ankles are at less risk too. A lower heel puts less strain on your muscles and joints and also helps you keep a better posture.

If you’re only wearing heels once in a while, then you shouldn’t see any lasting effects.
