Expert foot care with a calm, personal approach.

I’m Rachel Rayner, HCPC-registered podiatrist and the proud owner of Footwell Podiatry in Broughton, Preston.

My journey into podiatry wasn’t exactly a conventional one! Before qualifying, I worked as a carer, supporting elderly and vulnerable people in my local community. I’d always known I wanted to pursue a career in healthcare, but it took me a little while to discover exactly where I belonged.

Having experienced foot problems myself from a young age, I was already familiar with visiting a podiatrist. When I discovered the Podiatry degree at the University of Salford, something just clicked.

I began my studies in 2019 and graduated in 2022 with a First Class Honours degree (and plenty of blood, sweat and tears along the way!).

Today, I feel incredibly fortunate to have my own clinic, caring for people in the community I’ve always called home.

For me, podiatry is about much more than treating feet. It’s about helping people feel comfortable, confident and cared for. Whether you’re visiting for routine foot care, a painful corn, troublesome toenails or simply some well-deserved TLC, my aim is to make every appointment a positive and relaxed experience.

I know that visiting a podiatrist can sometimes feel a little daunting, particularly if you’re embarrassed about your feet. Please don’t be! My clinic is a friendly, welcoming space where you’ll always be treated with kindness, professionalism and absolutely no judgement.

I look forward to welcoming you to Footwell!
