I can’t recommend Steph at SO Podiatry in Worcester enough! My 7-year-old daughter had been struggling with 30 to 40 verrucas on her feet for the past 3-4 years, beginning after she started swimming at age 4. Before we found Steph, we rang several other places for Swift therapy, but they weren’t willing to treat her due to her age. Some providers preferred older children because of the potential discomfort. However, Steph was amazing at managing the pain. She carefully adjusted the treatment intensity, ensuring it was effective while keeping Isla as comfortable as possible. We had previously tried numerous other remedies before visiting Steph, including Scholl pens, Bazukka treatments, including Extra Strength, and even a pricey £70 homeopathic oil from America. We also tried home remedies like nail polish and duct tape. Unfortunately, none of these worked long-term, and the verrucas kept coming back. Swift therapy with Steph, however, was the only solution that truly worked for Isla. While the treatment is on the pricier side, it’s absolutely worth it for the incredible results and the relief it brought to our daughter. I wholeheartedly recommend Steph and her expertise!

As a beginner in my 80's, I wanted to build up strength and stay active. I found these Reformer Pilates classes really welcoming. My classes are usually with Emily, who explains everything step by step and clearly, so I am able to work at my own pace. There is no pressure, the class feels friendly and I really enjoy them. The atmosphere is relaxed and I always leave feeling good.

I have visited So Podiatry several times and each time I have been very pleased with the care I have received. From the friendly welcome to the knowledge of the staff, it is my go to place for anything to do with my feet. Iman is incredible. She is very knowledgeable, friendly and extremely kind. She reassured me when I felt nervous about a procedure and went above and beyond to give advice. Would thoroughly recommend.
