The whole is more than the sum of its parts<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The above phrase is typical for problems of the feet. In majority of cases, pain or dysfunction is multi-causal.<\/p>\n

If you look around, you will see many disfigured feet and shoes that don\u2019t fit well (fit-flops!). Particularly in later stage of life, the results of \u2018abuse\u2019 of the feet arise to the surface. Heel spur, fasciitis plantaris, Achilles tendon or Hallux valgus are common foot-problems. Sometimes the structural changes are so dramatic that only surgery will give any relief.<\/p>\n

Luckily many people \u2018walk\u2019 into the clinic with functional pains and aches. Often with the right treatment, good results can be achieved. E.g. Fasciitis plantaris and Achilles tendon problems are treated with state-of-the-art Shockwave, but it doesn\u2019t end there. If the underlying cause is a malposition of foot-arches or heel, the problem will repeat itself.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why a combination of specialisations is more effective. A physiotherapist and podiatrist have both their field of expertise. What is important that both have the same philosophy about resolving above mentioned situations. A combined consultation is therefore mandatory.<\/p>\n

Since a year I work with Arjan Louwerse, a Dutch orthopedic shoemaker and podiatrist. Together we assess in Clinica \u2018Optima Forma\u2019 the problem of your foot, Arjan will make a print of the foot and he manufactures a taylor-made insole (The price of a pair of insoles starts at \u20ac 120 and are made locally). This way the result of resolving your discomfort is much better!<\/p>\n

It is however a fact that insoles should be worn daily\u2026 In a country where temperatures arise over 30\u00baC regularly, it is sometimes a burden to wear proper shoes. Fortunately there are companies where you can buy sandals which fit your newly made insoles. One thing stands out: if you face above mentioned foot injuries, they only will get worse in time!<\/p>\n

So, be smart and do the right thing\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
