What is podiatry?

Podiatry is a paramedical therapy that focuses on treating physical complaints in the lower extremities. Our practitioners examine and treat complaints caused by abnormal foot positions or walking patterns. These complaints can occur in the feet, ankles, knees, hips and/or back. The practitioners have various therapies and skills, such as fitting podiatric insoles, performing foot treatments and providing information and advice on footwear and foot care, among other things. A consultation and examination takes about 30 to 45 minutes and includes an interview, a biomechanical examination and mapping of foot position and posture.

Our team includes both podiatrists and registered podiatrists, each with their own specialisations. At the intake, we discuss which practitioner would be best for you. Our practice in Leidschendam also uses ultrasound to visualise foot and ankle complaints.
