Athletes Foot

Also known as Tinea pedis, this is a common fungal infection that affects the skin, particularly in the areas between the toes. Common symptoms include itching, burning, cracking and scaling of the skin.

It is primarily caused by fungi, which develop through direct contact with an infected person or through contact with contaminated surfaces, such as locker rooms, swimming pool areas and communal showers. The fungus also thrives in warm and humid conditions, making it more prevalent among athletes, and those who wear shoes that are too tight for an extended period of time.

If left untreated, the infection can spread to the toenails causing a fungal nail infection. Regular podiatry care can help you effectively manage Athlete’s foot, prevent complications and reduce the likelihood of the infection recurring in the future.

Why Foot Measurement Matters

I have been seeing Annia for about 10 years.

Annia is not only a highly qualified podiatrist – dealing with the  mechanics and ailments of the foot and lower leg – but she has a wealth of experience in making your feet feel comfortable and look so much better.

I have nothing wrong with my feet anymore – but am looking forward to seeing Annia just for some maintenance…

I would not trust my feet to anyone else!

Helen Smith- “She takes time to explain my treatment…”

I have been coming here since February. I have been treated be several different podiatrists but Annia is the best podiatrist I have been to. She understands all my footcare issues and has solved a lot of them! She never rushes and always takes time to explain my treatment. When I leave I always feel I am walking on air.

Amanda Ellwood- “I was given lots of advice…”

I can highly recommend Annia at Quantum Footcare for her professionalism and attention to detail. I had an initial consultation and completed a prescreening questionnaire prior to my visit. Ania spent time carefully examining my feet, checking blood flow and sensation. She also recommended an x-ray for a problematic toe, and sent a referral letter to my GP. I was given lots of advice and a treatment plan and came away feeling my feet had had a thorough MOT, much more so than any other podiatrists I have seen in the past. Thank you Annia, I look forward to my follow up!

Annette Walker- “..my feet have never been in such good condition…”

I received amazing care and service from Annia at Quantum Footcare. This was my first visit to Annia. I was made very welcome in her beautiful, clean and spacious clinic, which felt calm and professional. Although my main issues were toe nails and corns / hard skin, Annia quickly built rapport with me and uncovered that I have some pain as well as a suspicious lesion. After she had taken care of my main problems, she carefully examined the other aspects of my feet and gave me a full plan.The next morning she had written to my GP and asked them to consider further investigations.This visit...

Annia is a true professional and a credit to her profession.

Helen Roberts-“Walked out with brand new feet…”

“I booked in with Annia to have my toe nails trimmed and calluses removed but walked out with brand new feet!

She also checked the health of my feet and removed 2 corns I didn’t know I had. The whole treatment was relaxing from start to finish and she paid such attention to detail, even removing the unsightly hard skin around the nails.

My feet haven’t looked or felt this fabulous in decades. I can highly recommend Annia’s podiatry to anyone”
