Podiatrist in the Scottish Borders - Kelso Foot Clinic

Feel better from the feet up.

Matthew Aplin MChS BSc (Hons) is a podiatrist, also known as a chiropodist, based in Kelso in the Scottish Borders. As an essential health service, we remain open during the current Covid Lockdown in Scotland.

The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering. Its 28 bones are bound by 214 ligaments and supported by 38 muscles. It’s such a complicated part of your body. The foot works harder than any other body part yet it is often one of the most neglected. Matthew can help you change that.
