About Feet In Focus

Feet In Focus was established in 2004 by HCPC-registered podiatrist Mathew Vaughan to bring a complete range of high-quality podiatry, chiropody and musculoskeletal care to the heart of Cardiff city centre. From everyday footcare to complex biomechanical problems, we offer professional, evidence-based treatment with a friendly, personal approach.

Our Cardiff clinic

We pride ourselves on professional yet friendly footcare. From simple issues such as corns and ingrowing toenails through to complex body and foot-posture problems. Our ground-floor, city-centre clinic is equipped with sophisticated video gait analysis, letting us film and analyse the whole body walking or running; from the front, side and rear in slow motion, to identify even the smallest problem.

Every one of our podiatrists is registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and belongs to the Royal College of Podiatry, with ongoing professional development so you always receive current, evidence-based care.

Getting into the clinic. The clinic is on the ground floor, but there are a few steps up to the entrance, with a handrail. If steps are difficult for you, please call us on 02920 644900 before your visit and we will do what we can to help.

Read our guide for new patients to find out what to bring and what happens at your first appointment.
