Testimonials

“As a dance teacher my feet are basically my living, after suffering from plantar fasciitis for over two months and doing all the usual recommended exercises I finally decided that self care wasn’t going to sort the issue and booked an appointment - within a day I was able to walk properly and although not fully pain free yet I’m fully confident with Sally’s help and advice I will be soon - thank you so much Sally you are magic 😉🧙🏻‍♀️”

“Sally is the best!! IF YOU HAVE AN INGROWN TOENAIL, SALLY IS THE ONE THAT CAN HELP YOU! Mine was so hard to remove without anesthetic because cannot be reached deep down and if that did not work, I had to remove the entire nail.

She’ s so patient and so delicate to not feel any pain and I didn’t, thank you so much for caring so much about it, Sally! You are amazing! 💯

I was surprised when I have seen my ingrown toenail removed without any pain! 🥹❤️❤️”

“I researched Lakeland Sports Podiatry and decided to book an appointment with Sally. Upon arrival it was very evident that Sally was welcoming, happy and a cheerful person. Upon assessment, Sally quickly diagnosed my condition. Sally gave clear information as to what caused my problem and how to alleviate my pain through a series of different exercises. Over the weeks my pain reduced considerably. Sally is very knowledgeable in her subject and I am glad that I booked with her. I would recommend Sally to anyone with a foot problem as she definitely put a spring back in my step. I can’t thank her enough."

"Sally was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. She immediately identified my Achilles Tendonitis and the cause thereof. I was confident with her advice and course of exercises and would totally recommend."

"I reached out to Sally on short notice with an urgent concern regarding ongoing numbness in my feet and legs. I suspected it might be related to an infection in my toenails. Sally promptly assessed my condition, ruled out the infection, and swiftly arranged an NHS referral, which ultimately led to the necessary treatment for my issue. Additionally, I had been dealing with persistent toenail problems, and after my initial appointment with Sally, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was pain-free. This was a significant relief for me, as I had been apprehensive about potential discomfort. I wholeheartedly recommend Lakeland Sports to anyone in need of professional care. . Thank you, Sally, for your exceptional assistance."

“I was really impressed with the professional friendly service I received from Sally. I would recommend her thorough and friendly approach to anyone if they had an issue with their feet, particularly sports related."

"After several years of trying to treat corns myself (with not a lot of luck) using corn plasters etc... I thought I would get them sorted by a professional. This was a wow moment for me as 45mins later they were taken out, toes sorted and any corn pain gone. All I can say is don't be like me and self treat. Sally was great, knows her stuff on corns, so go and get them sorted. You won't regret it. The price is good too and a great service."

“I had an ongoing old ankle injury on top of the need for orthotics due to pronation which I had previously been subscribed by another podiatrist. I first saw Sally on 1st Aug 2023 and had 5 subsequent appointments to build up my leg muscles and increase my ankle flexibility. I am pleased to say I am now pain free in my ankle which is a first for a long time. Sally recommended a different type of orthotic which I am now using and it is far more comfortable and gives more stability than the previous ones I had. She is very professional and I would recommend her to anyone.”

“Professional and friendly, highly recommend”

“I came with plantar fasciitis which I'd suffered for 3 months - unable to walk more than 100yrds, wracked with pain and losing hope. Sally provided me with insoles, exercises and shoe recommendations. Within a week i was walking without limping and had hope. Two weeks and i could walk 1.5 miles. Early days but I'm optimistic about recovery, you cannot put a price on freedom of movement. Fully recommend and Sally is lovely!”

“Sally was great. Sorted my Achilles in a couple of weeks.”

“I have been being treated by Lakeland Sports Podiatry for problems with my feet and ankles for 8 months. The treatment has been amazing and my feet are better than they have been in years. I wouldn't go to anybody else.”

“I contacted Lakeland Sports Podiatry following a toe injury and was able to see Sally within the next day. She knew exactly what to do and her treatment provided immediate relief. She was very diligent and also carried out full care of my feet during the appointment. Highly recommend!”

“I've had a few treatments with different podiatrists over the last few years. Sally has been the best! I would highly recommend her service. What a lovely lady. Friendly, so comforting and was amazing with my 9 year old son who came in with me.”

“Sally was recommended to me by a friend. When I first saw her I had constant foot discomfort/pain and had stopped all weight bearing activity. Sally was very reassuring and positive and expertly adapted me some of the shelf insoles which combined with some well chosen exercises (which she emailed me so I didn't have to remember them) within a week or so started improving my condition. I could have stopped there and I might have been okay but I'm very glad I chose to remain under Sally's care for a little longer as with further exercises, encouragement and psychological pain management advice I have continued to progress and my feet and legs feel healthy and more resilient and I can wear a wide variety of footwear (& she says I should in due course be able to manage without the insoles) and do all my normal sports and activities. Sally is the fourth podiatrist I have seen over the years and hands down the best. I travel for some distance to see her and it's definitely worth it, I highly recommend her.”

“Excellent professional, friendly service. First visit has resulted in a significant improvement.”

“I left Lakeland Sports Podiatry feeling really happy that my persistent foot pain could be sorted out. Sally was thorough in finding the sources of the pain and has provided me with some daily exercises.

She was extremely encouraging and I left with a spring in my step.

Superb service.”

“After many weeks of walking in The Lakes, my feet required some much-needed TLC to address some minor issues.

The experience with Lakeland Sports Podiatry was superb from start to finish. Sally is a consummate professional. If I am ever in the area again and the need arises, I wouldn’t dream of looking elsewhere.

Since my appointment I have been out enjoying the fells once more and totally pain free. Many thanks indeed Sally.”

“Sally is super friendly and took great care of my feet as I’ve upped my mileage running/hiking. Thanks Sally!”

“I was anxious about my visit to see a podiatrist, and embarrassed about the state of my feet. I need not have worried. Sally put me at my ease immediately with her warm and cheerful welcome. She is professional, highly skilled and very gentle. My problems were all resolved without any discomfort, and I was impressed by her knowledge and clinical expertise. I left with my feet feeling and looking much better than they had for years.”

“Very friendly, 1st class and gentle service”

“I had been suffering with an ingrowing toe nail for a few weeks which was not improving. I contacted Sally and she booked me in at a convenient time (currently travelling so wasn't in the area long) Sally is extremely professional and friendly so put me at ease and delt with the issue quickly and painlessly. I didn't need the follow up appointment and have had no pain or problems since. So glad I didn't put it off longer. Thank you Sally!”

“My experience with Sally at Lakeland Sports Podiatry could not have been any better. Her caring, friendly manner, detailed advice and the brilliant improvement with my feet and ankles makes me feel that a 5 star maximum is not enough for a review.

Thank you Sally.”

“I had been suffering from foot and ankle pain for a number of months. I have 2 dogs and am a keen fell walker but was finding it increasingly difficult and painful particularly when walking down hill as my feet/ ankles were soo stiff that they would not flex to the degree required. I tried my local physio for help and she referred me to Sally at Lakeland Sports Podiatry as she felt I needed to see a specialist. Sally quickly identified the nature of the problem and set me a number of excercises to get my feet and ankles moving freely again whilst building up the muscles in my legs to support the process. I had 3 sessions with Sally over 3 months and am now almost completely pain free and fell walking is not an issue any more. My mobility has improved dramatically as a result and I now have a full list of simple exercises to keep it that way going forward.”

“We have both been visiting Sally for about 4 years for regular foot care maintenance. She is knowledgeable and professional, caring and friendly. We always feel so much better after a visit.”

“Sally is extremely good - helpful, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Strongly recommended! I love her new clinic too!”

“My elderly mother (now 93) had been suffering from painful feet, despite regularly seeing a chiropodist. We decided that a change was needed to help Mum regain her mobility & on searching Google, found Sally.

Since first visiting Sally (in her superb facility near Penrith), we have seen Mum’s foot health increase dramatically, through the removal of numerous corns & hard skin. This has indeed greatly improved Mum’s comfort, desire & ability to walk.

Sally is a highly qualified professional with expert knowledge that goes far beyond the limits of a regular podiatrist (see her website for details). Equally importantly, Sally is a very friendly, upbeat, welcoming & caring person, with whom you’ll feel comfortable the moment you’re with her.

Thank-you Sally for your care & expertise in getting Mum back on her feet - the difference you have made is remarkable.”

“Sally is fantastic. What sets her apart is how she tailors her approach to you, not just handing out a standard set of exercises but really thinking through what will work for your body and lifestyle.

I felt listened to and supported throughout. Highly recommend Lakeland Sports Podiatry if you're looking for care that’s both professional and personal.”
