The Westoe Practice Information

Chiropody and Podiatry

Your feet bear the weight of your body, day in and day out. They are encased in shoes for hours on end and carry you around an average of 2,000 footsteps every day. Their condition affects your overall comfort and your mood, which is why The Westoe Practice at South Shields believe it is important to take care of them.

The Westoe Practice is a large centre for health and wellbeing situated in Elizabeth street, South Shields, adjacent to Westoe road.  The centre is run by Dean Glozier who has over 15 years experience as a Podiatrist and Complementary therapist who specializes in Biomechanics and Body Alignment.

Ingrown Toe Nail Surgery
The trained Chiropodists at The Westoe Practice, South Shields are qualified in Chiropody and Podiatry to administer local anaesthetic when undertaking foot care which requires a minor operation.

Diabetic Foot care
For clients with a diabetes condition, the need to have their feet checked by a trained Podiatrist or Chiropodist is most important.  At The Westoe Practice, the Podiatrist / Chiropodists can advise you on foot care and regular check ups to identify any potential foot problems.

Biomechanical Assessment
It is estimated that 75% of the population "overpronate" which means that the feet flatten and ankles roll inwards when walking and approximately 50% have one leg that is longer than the other. Our feet are the foundations of our body and if they are not functioning correctly or they are out of alignment, this has a knock on effect throughout the body, causing muscle and joint misalignment and ultimately aches and pains.
 
Within the Westoe Practice is the Body Alignment Centre.  Dean is one of only a handful of Podiatrists or Chiropodists in the country who now uses a state of the art 3d optical laser scanner and computerized foot analysis system as means of capturing in depth data from our feet.

MBT Footwear Specialist
Furthermore, The Westoe Practice is a stockist and only specialist fitter for MBT footwear in the area. MBT’s help correct poor posture and alleviate back and joint problems, offering a practical enhancement to daily exercise and fitness routines.  By wearing MBTs it is possible to tone and shape the body, recover from injury and improve your performance whilst carrying out normal daily activities.  Every step taken in a pair of MBTs has the effect of a mini fitness workout.
