Forms of podiatry that we offer
At Mediphysio we focus on podiatric therapy and the production of insoles.
Podiatric therapy
Our podiatry therapy at Mediphysio offers targeted treatment options for various foot problems to improve your foot health and relieve pain.
Here are the main indications where our podiatry therapy can effectively help:
- Foot pain and discomfort
Foot pain can have many causes, including overloading, incorrect footwear or ageing processes.
Our podiatry therapy aims to identify the exact cause of the pain and develop individually tailored treatment strategies.
Using special massage techniques, mobilization exercises and targeted pressure relief, we can reduce pain and improve foot function. - Foot misalignments
Misalignments such as flat feet, hollow feet or hallux valgus can lead to considerable discomfort and incorrect loading of the joints.
Our podiatry therapy helps to correct or at least stabilize these misalignments through targeted exercises and manual techniques.
We work closely with our patients to achieve the best possible foot position and thus avoid pain and discomfort in the long term. - Sports injuries
Athletes are particularly susceptible to foot and ankle injuries.
Our podiatry therapy provides specialized treatment for sports injuries to promote healing and speed return to activity.
We use techniques such as taping, targeted muscle strengthening and coordination training to restore stability and functionality to the foot.
Our therapy aims to prevent re-injury and optimize athletic performance.
At Mediphysio, we take a holistic approach that not only treats the symptoms, but also addresses the cause of the problem.
Put your trust in our experience and let us work together on your foot health!
Podological insoles
Our podiatry insoles are customized to provide the best support and relief for your feet.
Based on a detailed analysis of your foot and body posture, we offer customized orthopedic insoles to help you correct foot problems and relieve pain.
To do this, we use the concept of podiatry according to Frimmel, which comprises two main types of insoles:
- Proprioceptive insoles: These insoles are designed to specifically activate the foot muscles and promote sensory feedback (proprioception).
This improves the stability and function of the foot.
Proprioceptive insoles are particularly effective in the treatment of malpositions and specific problems such as flat feet.
They help to support the arch of the foot and improve foot posture, preventing discomfort and incorrect weight-bearing.
They are also ideal for insoles for heel spurs, as they reduce the pressure on the affected heel and thus effectively reduce pain. - Facilitating insoles: These insoles support the natural rolling motion of the foot and promote healthy movement.
They are designed to guide the foot in its movement and restore the correct rolling function.
Facilitating insoles are particularly useful for athletes, as they help to improve athletic performance and prevent injuries by providing optimal support and stabilization for the feet.
For people with heel spurs, they provide gentle relief for the heel while supporting overall foot movement.
Our podological foot orthoses, whether proprioceptive or facilitative, therefore offer a comprehensive solution for various foot problems and help you to improve your mobility and quality of life.
The process of manufacturing podological insoles
Our process for producing customized foot orthoses is precise and patient-oriented.
It includes the following steps:
- Initial consultation
- A comprehensive physiotherapeutic examination of your foot and body posture.
- A video-based gait analysis to evaluate your movement.
This movement analysis is particularly important for sports insoles, as it helps to understand the dynamics and strain on the feet when running or playing sports. - Making footprints on a podograph to take exact measurements.
- Adjusting the insole elements on the podoscope to provide the best support.
- Advice on the selection of suitable shoes and measurement of shoe soles.
- Production of insoles and delivery
- The information collected is sent to our specialist podiatrist and then to our specialist orthopaedic shoemaker.
The production of the insoles takes about 2-4 weeks. - The finished insoles are sent directly to your address.
- The information collected is sent to our specialist podiatrist and then to our specialist orthopaedic shoemaker.
- Controls and therapy
- We recommend follow-up appointments after 1, 3 and 12 months to monitor the success of the treatment.
- Optional therapies to support the healing process and optimize adaptation.
Advantages of podiatry
