Podiatry
Podiatrist treat problems while focusing on the feet. Feet are the base of the human body. An abnormal position or deviating function of the feet can be the cause of problems in ankles, knees, hips, pelvis or back.
Our goal is to get you pain free as soon as possible and to let you move in the most optimal way. To achieve this, we are not only looking at the physical complaints, but we also want to help in the prevention of problems. We do this by analyzing your way of moving and to adjust the possible deviations we find. Everything based on a treatment plan prepared by us.
By examining the way you move we get a lot of insight to the cause of (future) problems.
We create a personal treatment plan, with the intention to keep you as active as possible. The starting point is to reoptimize the foot function.
Many problems in the back, hip, knee and foot can be prevented by creating an optimal function of the foot and lower leg.
Examination
An important part of prevention and healing problems is a good examination. We execute a physical assessment and we perform a gait analysis to check how you are moving. To analyse the gait precisly, we use an advanced treadmill.

C-Mill
The C-mill is a special treadmill, which uses a force plate to measure the peak pressure under your foot during every phase of your gait. Also your center of pressure will be measured during the gait. By the use of cameras we can connect this data to analyze your gait and adjust when necessary.
The benefits of the C-Mill:
- We get a detailled view of the gait cycle. By using camera’s we can look at the different phases of the gait accurately.
- Accurate data; steplength, contact time, peakpressure under the foot, center of pressure and differences between left and right will be measured to get an overview happens during the gait.
- Pre- and post-measurement. We measure you gait before the treatment and if nessecary also after the treatment. This gives us the ability to keep an eye on what happens during treatments. We can see improvements or where we need to adjust our treatment.
- Optimize the gait by using our different treatments.
