Foot care clinic in Broadheath, Altrincham

I’m Ola Pankiw, a fully qualified, registered foot health practitioner with a clinic in Broadheath. I cure common foot and lower limb problems, much like a chiropodist or podiatrist. I work with private clients, helping them to manage common foot problems and keep their feet healthy and happy. Treatment at Footrespect is so much more than a pedicure. 

Are callouses, corns or nail problems causing discomfort and impacting daily life?

Are your feet or lower legs in constant pain, making it difficult to walk?

Is it getting harder to bend down and cut your own toenails?

Your feet are so important, good foot health maintenance is essential to keep problems under control. For some people it’s a challenge to keep feet in tip top condition, especially as you get older. Without professional care and attention, neglected feet can cause discomfort and make it difficult to walk or do your favourite activities.

My job is to make sure the people of Altrincham and surrounding areas have pain-free, comfortable and attractive feet. After a single visit with me, your feet will feel lighter, better and quite possibly a size smaller!

Orthotics made easy with Footrespect

Insoles (orthotics) made easy

Insoles (orthotics) relieve persistent pain in the feet, ankles, knees or hips, allowing you to live your life more normally. Life enhancing results are common with the correct insoles (orthotics).

A full orthopaedic consultation identifies the root cause of your pain. One session is often all it takes to eliminate pain once and for all. You purchase the recommended insoles (orthotics) online yourself. This method is straightforward, fast and cost-effective.

Get back to being you within a couple of days!

Foot care and maintenance

Imagine how great your feet could feel with regular foot care treatments. I offer routine and one-off appointments for toenail cutting, hard skin removal, corn and callous removal, veruccae care, and treatment and prevention of ingrowing and fungal toenails.

Regular foot health maintenance is important for supporting diabetic foot health. It also relieves aching feet, toes and heel pain.

Lots of clients choose to combine their appointment with a foot massage.

Treat Feet Pain with Foot Respect

Foot, ankle and lower limb massage

I took both my 86 year old mum and myself for an appointment with Ola and had a great experience. Ola was welcoming, professional, caring and very knowledgeable. My mum had a problem with her toes, that other people had diagnosed incorrectly, and Ola resolved the situation immediately. Can't recommend Ola highly enough. If you have any problems with your feet, go see her.
Response from the owner:Nic it was ace to have u & mum here 🥰 Wasn’t it hot! 🥵 I’ve seen your mum’s situation a few times so know it well. Thku for looking after each other; you’re both in great shape. Now stay cool and hopefully we don’t reach 35 degrees again this year 🔥
Sophia
Visited the Altrincham Clinic as my big toe nail had cracked very high up after a weight fell on it. Ola was great and carefully removed the nail. Really glad I visited as it fixed the problem and put my mind at ease. Highly recommend
Response from the owner:Sophia! Fancy dropping 15kg on your toe! Your relief when I took your nail off was precious. Go and enjoy life, gorgeous lady 👩🏻
Marilyn H.
My partners foot was very painful so we went to see Ola at the broadheath hall. Ola was extremely helpful and although his treatment took a number of weeks Ola never gave up on what was a very frustrating problem. Her help has been so very good and although we eventually found a solution we couldn’t have done it without her help. She even went shopping for his problem and her help and input has been and continues to be excellent.
Response from the owner:Success at last, Marilyn! That was a nasty wound/ulcer in a v awkward position. You both did great work sticking at the regime. I’m relieved he’s healing & feeling better 😅 It’s a very long night for everyone when you can’t sleep 😞 Now enjoy life pls, both of u 💞
Sue G.
I would highly recommend Ola at Footrespect. Ola has been looking after my feet for the last 2 years, and they have never looked so good! As an ex dancer that's saying something! I have had a troublesome corn and hard skin on my heels which is now under control at last. My feet look twenty years younger, I wish I did!. Thanks to Ola,
Response from the owner:Thx so much for reviewing, Sue. I can rest now knowing your feet are freshly done for your mega jaunt around Spain. Have a ball, sweet friend 💃🏼 🌞 🍹 I'm JEALOUS 😭
Ruth B.
I was able to get a last minute appointment with Ola who diagnosed the issue and resolved it quickly. So pleased to be free of pain and to be seen so promptly. Ola’s services are highly recommended. It’s a 10 from me!
Response from the owner:Ah, Ruth, glad we got rid of it. You’re too active & busy to let a sore toe hold you back 💪🏻 Keep looking after your health pls, darling 💞
Sara F.
Ola treated both my daughter’s verrucas and my ingrown toenail, and we had such a positive experience. I was especially nervous about my daughter’s appointment because she’s only 10, but Ola was absolutely brilliant with her. She made her feel completely at ease, explained the whole process clearly as she went along, and was so calm and reassuring throughout. They had a great chat and my daughter was really happy! I was also worried about my toenail because I had a trip coming up involving lots of walking and was convinced it was going to get worse, but Ola sorted it in just one appointment. She is incredibly skilled, explains everything she’s doing, and you really feel you’re in safe hands. Communication was excellent from start to finish and I honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
Response from the owner:Sara I feel 10 foot tall after that review 🤩 Your daughter is a gorgeous brave warrior, takes after her mum 👍🏻 I’m glad we busted her verrucae & your ingrowing nail. Have a superb family holiday, gang. I’m JEALOUS! 💞
Emma L.
Brilliant service. Had been in pain because of a corn on the side of my foot and was starting to have difficulty walking because of it. Ola managed to relieve it immediately. Thank you so much!
Response from the owner:It’s great you’re out of pain, darling. Corns HURT! And yours was a hard, mean little blighter! Enjoy your relief. Thanks for booking me, Emma & thanks for reviewing 🙏🏻
Nicole C.
Would highly recommend coming here to see Ola. Great communication, friendly and excellent at her job nothing is ever too much. She has helped me with my feet over the years and i wouldn't go anywhere else. Everything is explained with each treatment and aftercare if needed. Good location and parking available
Response from the owner:What lovely comments, Nicole, thank you. I’m glad you came in again, just to be sure. Hopefully the insoles I prescribed bring relief & you’re now also aware of prevention. Keep trucking on your cute, titchy feet 🦶🤩
Stuart R.
Excellent service, went in with an in growing toe nail and Ola resolved the issue with no problems. Highly recommend her for any foot related issues.
Response from the owner:Wow, bro, you held it together like trooper during treatment 🙌🏻 Glad work & family all good; pls send my love to all as usual 🌸
Alex W.
My son has visited Ola twice, with a very painful ingrowing toenail. On both occasions Ola has seen him at very short notice, going out of her way to ensure she saw him to ease his discomfort as quickly as possible. During the appointment, she was wonderfully understanding, caring and efficient. Dealing with the problem quickly, whilst ensuring he was feeling ok and offering plenty of reassurance. I can't thank Ola enough for her service and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much for reviewing, Alex. I couldn’t bear the thought of him on that sore nail any longer! 😬 He was v cool-headed having it removed 🤛🏻 Hope he enjoyed the party. Keep at it folks, you’re a lovely family 💞
Sarah P.
My daughter and I came to see Ola as she had been struggling with verrucas for years. We'd tried everything from shop bought solutions to having them frozen at the GP. Every time they came back and we'd almost given up hope. We went to Ola and within 3 months they were gone. Ola listened, gave advice and a strict routine to follow. I can't recommend her enough. A total legend in the feet world (and as a lovely human too).
Response from the owner:That’s ace news, Sarah. Verrucae are pesky so I’m glad she’s finally rid of them. Thanks for doing the work with her; you clearly stuck to the plan 🤛🏻 Hope it stays that way now. Take care, gorgeous ladies 💞
Denny M.
Olga is a real gem, did what she could to solve my issue, while explaining that it was going to take some changes on my behalf to really solve the issue. I am so grateful to be ‘nearly’ pain free, and looking forward to more improvements. Relaxed environment, and a lady who obviously cares for her clients, highly recommend paying her a visit.
Response from the owner:How kind of you to review, Denny. So glad you feel the benefit of your treatment and I hope the toe box advice makes a difference too. Pls come in again when you're back in Blighty. Your Canadian aura was uplifting - hurrah! x
Lisa R.
I have been going to see Ola for quite a few years and she is brilliant, my feet feel amazing after, truely loved and we’ve got to look after our feet. But more than that, she really cares, is kind funny and truly one of a kind 😊
Response from the owner:Aw, Lisa. U have lovely little feet, like the rest of you. Thx for reviewing, darling, I know it’s effort. Have a great Christmas with the familam 🎄
Emma C.
Saw Ola today with sore toes, explained that I had ingrown nails, Ola was very kind and took me through what she would do to ease my pains, the procedure was uncomfortable but Ola was very pleased with the outcome and so was I, would highly recommend Footrespect and Ola for any foot or nail problems Thanks Ola 😊
Response from the owner:Emma you’re TOUGH! Delighted we removed the blighters 🙌🏻 Did you show your mum?! 😂 Can’t believe how long you’d soldiered on…. Take care of those little wounds for couple of days now. Hopefully you’ll have comfy feet for a good while now. Pls do let me know how you get on, darling? Thanks for booking, very grateful 🙏🏻 👣
Eleanor N.
I’m a runner who had a sore toe due to an ingrowing toenail. After an initial chat and examination, Ola immediately knew what to do, was friendly and professional and within 30 minutes my problem was resolved. What I particularly liked was her knowledgeable and practical approach. I’m so pleased I chose her and cannot recommend Footrespect highly enough.
Response from the owner:You were brave, Eleanor. Fancy running on that toe for weeks! Hope that’s an end to it for now; be cautious for a few days pls. Take care, cool lady 👱🏼‍♀️
Rachel H.
I went to Ola for an ingrown toenail, and honestly, couldn’t recommend her more! From the moment I arrived, she made me feel completely at ease and talked me through each step of the process so I knew exactly what was happening. She was super gentle and professional, and I felt instant relief as soon as the treatment was done. She also gave clear aftercare instructions and it took no time to heal. Thank you so much, Ola!
Response from the owner:Hey, Rachel. So glad it got sorted in time for the Mcr Half Marathon. Runner respect! 🏃🏼‍♀️ You’re a great patient & look after your health well, keep up the good work, darling 👣 🤩

My husband and I have been patients of Ola at Food Respect for some time. Each visit has been amazing. Ola is SO professional and does a fantastic job. Other chiropodists We have been to have treated our feet superficially. Ola does her job to perfection, treating every aspect if our feet problems. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is absolutely wonderful, a treasure to behold. I feel I am walking on air after her so professional treatment. As an added bonus, she has such a warm and friendly personality and makes us so welcome. Its such a pleasure to have her in our lives. Angela and Nael

susan F.
I was diagnosed with lymphedema , wasnt familiar with it Received a leaflet from a local ‘Foot’ person who offered many different foot/ leg services Made an appointment and had the usual Nail services but also had leg / foot massage After the services cream was applied. The difference it made was amazing. The podiatrist researched the issue and found some leaflets which outlined the whole process for the leg problem Go on a regular basis , have the massage and it really helps. Increased the circulation and mobility
Response from the owner:Thx for this review, Sue. You’re slowly improving which will make all the difference to your lifestyle & frame of mind. Now I need to get to the Wheatsheaf on your recommendation! 🍷 🍽️
Lesley B.
I would highly recommend Foot Respect. I’ve had several appointments with Ola for general foot care and also lymphatic drainage massage to help with swollen ankles. Ola is a real professional and is always full of useful advice. She is also a lovely lady who really cares about her clients.
Response from the owner:I'm dead pleased you're feeling the benefits of your treatments, Lesley. It's important to feel well overall and you're doing a great job staying ahead of your wellbeing. Glad you both had a great summer and THANK YOU, always, for booking me. God bless, darling.
Pauline C.
I am a lady in my eighties. Until recently I have always been able to look after my feet but have been finding it increasingly difficult to cut my toe nails etc and I have been having trouble with a painful corn. After receiving a leaflet from Footrespect both my husband and I decided to arrange a visit. We were most impressed by Ola's friendly, caring and professional treatment and advice. It was a real treat to come away with comfortable and pain free feet. We will certainly visit Ola again as we feel that her friendly care and professionalism will help to prevent possible foot problems in the future. Both my husband and I have no hesitation in recommending Ola's care and attention for the health of your feet and for your general well being.
Response from the owner:I'm delighted Footrespect fulfilled your requirements, Pauline. None of us seem to realise how important things are 'til they go wrong. We take things for granted... I'm glad your holiday went well and that you both enjoyed summer. I'm festooned with apples and damsons at the moment I picked in Stamford Brook. Free food - hurrah! See you soon, fave people!

My mum and I visited Ola for the first time recently. She immediately made us feel at ease with her fabulous personality, it were as though we were visiting a friend !!! She did an outstanding job on our feet, I felt I was walking on air afterwards. Her rates are extremely competitive. If your feet need a 'makeover' you won't be disappointed.
Response from the owner:Hey, Grace. Didn't we have fun! Both you and your mum's feet were quite straightforward to treat so I can't accept too much credit. You're both pretty health aware and in great shape. Be proud, both of you. Maybe see you again before Christmas? Take care, gorgeous ladies.
Maggie R.
I first visited Ola to help with a heel problem and her advice and treatment were excellent. She is so friendly and took the time to explain exactly what was causing the pain. Ola's treatment & the exercises she recommended have made such a difference. I've been a few times now, including for a wonderful foot massage. It was such a treat and I'm looking forward to the next one. I'd highly recommend Footrespect.
Response from the owner:I'm delighted your heel and tendon issues are improving, Maggie. I applaud you as a model patient however; you're ahead of your overall health and don't neglect your exercises and advice. This will serve you really well in years to come. The massage is definitely beneficial in your case and I really like doing it! Keep at it, Maggie. x
Jayne F.
My elderly mother and I have visited Footrespect numerous times to have our feet looked after. We are very happy with the service that Ola provides with her kind and caring attention. She is very pleasant and professional and our feet feel and look great. I would certainly recommend Footrespect and indeed have done, to everyone looking for an excellent foot health practitioner.
Response from the owner:Aw, Jayne, that's made me go shy! In fairness, both you and your mum are a doddle to treat and I love sorting the world with you both. Trump and Putin should be afraid! See you tomorrow, top team! xxx
Gill T.
I am so glad to have found Ola at Footrespect. 👣 My feet, ankles and lower legs have been swelling and giving me pain for quite a while. After a consultation, I booked in for a foot and leg massage, for relaxation and reviving circulation. It was sooo soothing,relaxing and reviving, it's a couple of weeks since my appointment and the swelling and pain has reduced significantly. I can fully recommend this treatment, I feel so much better. My next appointment is already booked, counting the days ☺️
Response from the owner:Thku for such kind words, Gill. Foot massage always brings significant physical and mental benefits. I think EVERYONE should try it. I'm so pleased you've found something that works for you. See you next week, darling.
