Frequently asked questions

Everything you might want to know about home-visit foot care with Footcare By Lina. Still curious? Just give me a call.

What is a Foot Health Practitioner?

A Foot Health Practitioner (FHP) is trained to provide routine, conservative foot care — things like trimming and tidying toenails, reducing hard skin and callus, easing corns, and caring for cracked heels. I'm a member of the College of Foot Health Practitioners.

Are you a podiatrist or chiropodist?

No. “Podiatrist” and “chiropodist” are protected titles for HCPC-registered professionals. I'm a qualified Foot Health Practitioner providing routine foot care. If you need medical diagnosis or treatment, I'll always recommend you see your GP or an HCPC-registered podiatrist.

Do you really come to my home?

Yes — I'm a mobile service. I bring everything needed and treat your feet in the comfort of your own home, anywhere across Greater Manchester. There's no travelling, parking or waiting room for you.

How much does a visit cost?

It depends on what your feet need and where you live, so the fairest thing is a quick chat. Just call or email and I'll happily talk you through it with no obligation — there are no hidden charges.

Can you help with diabetic feet?

I'm happy to provide routine foot care and keep an eye on things for clients living with diabetes. For anything that needs medical assessment or treatment, I'll always recommend your GP or a registered podiatrist, and I'm glad to work alongside them.

How do I book an appointment?

Simply call or text 07440 208 697, or email lina@footcarebylina.com. Tell me what's bothering you and we'll arrange a time that suits you.

How often should I have my feet cared for?

Many clients like a visit every 6–8 weeks to keep nails and skin comfortable, but it's entirely up to you and what your feet need. I'm happy to set up a regular slot or see you as and when.

What areas do you cover?

I cover Manchester and many surrounding areas including Didsbury, Chorlton, Withington, Sale, Stockport, Trafford, Salford, Prestwich and more. If you're not sure, just ask.
