STROUD can now boast a brand new clinic dedicated to foot health.

Stroud Foot Clinic at Phoenix House in London Road, Thrupp, opened its doors on January 6, with the first patient Mrs Yvonne Springate receiving free treatment and a bouquet of flowers.

The clinic is a collaboration between podiatrist Geoff Boldero, foot health practitioner Denise Blake and clinic manager Kath Morrison.

It also offers a comprehensive range of podiatry and foot health services.

Local author Jilly Cooper cut the ribbon for the official opening day at the end of January in front of an audience of friends, family and patients of Geoff, Kath and Denise.

Glasses were raised as attendees appreciated the extensive refurbishment of the facility and latest high tech equipment, including the latest silicone moulding system for creating custom insoles.

Anyone who requires an appointment should contact the clinic on 01453 706123.
