Velvet Foot Care is always adhering to strict mandatory standards that are the same as for hospitals. To avoid infections of any kind, tools are kept professionally sterilized and packaged for each client individually, and the nurse is always wearing personal protective equipment (PPE).
In addition, the following procedures will apply:
● We request that clients report any symptoms of illness prior to treatment (if possible via phone), and agree to their temperature being taken at the beginning of treatments.
● Clients are required to wear a mask upon arrival. A disposable non-medical mask will be provided at no cost if necessary.
● Please help reduce the workload of disinfecting cash, and choose to make all payments via e-transfer (or cheque) if possible.
Call Cara via phone at 250-538-8180 to book appointments or ask further questions. New clients welcome.
Looking forward to seeing you, and thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
Healthy feet are important to all aspects of our life.
Feet are complex. Injuries of feet or toes can happen at all ages. The same is true for some deformations and problems with nails, skin, and bones.
It is normal that some problems become more pronounced with age.
Often our regular routines are not enough. Where health conditions are a concern, a professional foot care nurse can help.
Avoid pain and immobility. Prevent problems with your feet. Have them looked after if there is a health issue.
Be safe and be healthy.
