Functional podiatry in HENDI CENTRE
Foot diagnostics for the whole family.
The current sedentary times do not favour a healthy upright posture. When complications increase and the intensity of pain increases, the cause of the problem is identified. However, this is often only dealt with locally, as pain in the spine, lower back or joints. However, the root cause often has to be found elsewhere - namely in the feet.
The term podiatry refers to the professional medical care of the feet or the soles of patients with various diseases or pathologies. In addition to foot skin and nail diseases, it also concerns stability and gait disorders. Our feet and legs are an essential part of the support system of the human body. If this support is poor, problems can occur throughout the skeletal and muscular system.
In the HENDI CENTRE we offer instrumental diagnostics of the arch of the foot and toes. The physiotherapist, based on the results of the examination with a podoscope and the medical history, determines an individual therapeutic plan, which includes education, special rehabilitation, training of standing, walking, exercises in the home environment and also a follow-up examination.
The examination is suitable for children from four years of age, adults and seniors.
The aim of functional diagnostics is to restore the correct upright posture, take care of healthy feet and relieve pain through an individually designed therapeutic plan and education.

Project with the City of Piešt'any: ambition to reduce the gap in foot diagnostics across the region
In our centre we are dedicated to physiotherapy and rehabilitation medicine for children and adults. The shortcomings in early detection of musculoskeletal disorders led us to the intention of expanding the range of diagnostic services provided for podoscopy foot examinations. This type of examination is absent in the health care in the spa town. Thanks to the financial support of the City of Piešt'any , we have included instrumental foot diagnostics in our portfolio of services between August and December 2022, making it available to the general public. Thanks to the examination with a podoscope, the subsequent recommendation and provision of physiotherapy and rehabilitation treatment, we help the population to prevent the onset of pain caused by incorrect posture, or to eliminate the already existing discomfort associated with it (headaches, spinal pain, trembling of the limbs, etc.).
Project evaluation:
- Financial support: 2.160,-€
- Form of support: purchase of diagnostic equipment
- Implementation: august to december 2022
Consultation day: every Thursday from 14:00 - 16:00
