WHAT IS PODIATRY?

Podiatry is a medical specialty that focuses on: the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and management of diseases, defects, and injuries of the foot, ankle and lower limbs. As a result, we treat patients of all ages.

OUR STORY

Severe back and foot problems inspired Alma Thompson to establish Almawi Limited, in December 2004, to help others like herself. Since then, Almawi Limited The Holistic Clinic, grew to offer services that ranged from massages to pedicures. In May 2021, Almawi began a more specialised path in foot health, offering podiatric services particularly with diabetic patients and seniors in mind, due to their sensitivities. Leana Huntley, Alma's daughter, is now the Clinic’s Director and Podiatrist.

STRIVING FOR EXCELLENCE

We strive to be Trinidad and Tobago’s premier foot health clinic. Through a knowledge-based service approach, patients are assured that they are educated and empowered in our care. As one of the few podiatrists in Trinidad & Tobago, our services are in high demand.

Leana Huntley

Leana Huntley

At an early age, Leana told her mother that she wanted her own business. As a result, through high school at St Francois Girls’ College she pursued entrepreneurial projects like Junior Achievement and Young Leaders and went on to study Management, and eventually, Podiatry. Through personal and clinical experience, she learned the consequences of foot health neglect. She now advocates for function over fashion, and especially, injury prevention. Leana keeps on top of the pulse by attending international conferences, while continuing to pursue professional development courses.
