Free foot screenings for people with diabetes are still available from certain podiatrists nationwide this week. Due to the demand, in our practice we will still offer them during next week too.
Last week I was invited to the Headquarters of ESKOM our Electricity Supply Commission, to talk about footwear selection and the effects of high heels, amongst other things!
From the outset it was clear that ESKOM is very concerned about safety – we were briefed on where and how to get out of the venue should there be a 'problem' – before the talks began.
81 pairs of feet belonging to podiatrists and University of Johannesburg podiatry students will hit the road tomorrow, in the 702 Walk the Talk.
Look out for the UJ caravan where you can receive advice and screening for any foot problems before or after the walk.
Walking is probably the easiest and cheapest form of exercise available to us. The 702 Walk the Talk takes place on 25 July and 50,000 entrants are expected to hit the streets of Johannesburg.
