Within the field of podiatry, we deal with the treatment of musculoskeletal complaints. Many common complaints of the feet, ankle, knees, hip and back result from incorrect posture or malfunctioning of the feet. Complaints can include muscle-tendon disorders, overuse, or skin or nail complaints. Feet are the support base of the body and interact with the entire posture. We therefore work closely together with physiotherapists, general practitioners and specialists in the Hague area to help our patients as much as possible.
