MEDICURE 
Think of a Medicure as a starting point for foot health. It's the “teeth cleaning to Dentistry” - We give your feet a check over, clean up the nails and skin to have to fresh feel again, and let you know of anything you need to do at home or further treatments. It’s also lovely to have done before a holiday, many patients say they feel they want to ‘float’ out of the clinic.
