Podiatry clinic of the year

Established in 1995 by Hilary Nossiter and her husband, The Forest Foot & Health Clinic is a podiatry clinic and surgery offering foot care and physiotherapy services. Podiatry assessment includes taking a holistic view

of the presenting foot problem, with the option of in- house cross-discipline referral to treat any joint, muscle or postural related problem. In February 2020, Jane Kraushaar and Christopher Gillingham purchased the practice and are continuing to build on the excellent reputation and high standards developed over the past 25 years. Jane and Christopher also own another award winning clinic – New Milton Foot Clinic.
