FootBalance Medical Concept
For Fast Reliable Foot Care
Village Podiatrists are the first Podiatry practice in the West Midlands to offer medical foot assessments with the high-tech FootBalance machine. A machine that assesses a patient's arches and feet with the use of podoscope technology.
FootBalance was founded in 2003 by Erkki Hakkala, a pioneering Nordic physiotherapist and inventor who specialised in podiatric medicine. He had the vision to improve foot health and reduce foot related pain by making high quality, affordable, custom-made products accessible to every one.
FootBalance's innovative Medical Concept delivers a reliable and highly effective method for conducting individual analysis of the lower limbs and for preparing custom moulded orthotics. Our new FootBalance machine allows us to make orthotics that are moulded to meet our patient's individual feet needs during just one appointment, saving time and increasing patient satisfaction.
