Per Piedi - Your specialist in podiatry and comfort shoes

For us your feet are the most important thing. In our podological institute we offer you various services from foot care to medical foot treatment. In the attached shoe specialty store you will receive individual orthopedic advice.

Per Piedi is the largest foot care institute in Switzerland and belongs to the Coop Cooperative. Per Piedi employs only medically qualified specialists with podiatry training. We also offer treatments in hospitals and nursing homes as well as home visits.

Medical foot care

The classic foot care treatment includes nail cutting, filing and probing. In addition, ingrown nails are treated and hard skin, corns and calluses are removed. Diabetics and patients who have to take blood-thinning medication are also in the right hands with us. For these people, professional medical foot care is particularly important and recommended.

Orthotics

Orthoses are custom-made silicone reliefs that relieve painful pressure points such as corns or hammer toes.

Nail Clasp Technique

Painful ingrown nails can be treated with various clasp techniques such as BS, Goldstadt or titanium techniques. In the BS clasp technique, for example, a small spring plate made of plastic is glued onto the nail. The spring forces, which are now evenly distributed over the entire nail, prevent painful overload points.

Nail prosthetics

Nail defects are often unpleasant and painful disabilities both functionally and cosmetically. However, these can be corrected with nail prosthetics. With a gel nail replacement, the nail plate is restored.

Taping

Tapings are used for functional and mechanical correction. They can provide passive support or be used for pain relief, for example in:

• Hallux valgus, splay foot or hammer toe complaints.
• flat/kneeling foot
• As support for ingrown nails
• knee problems
• Haglund's heel/heel spur
• After hammer/claw toe operations

Medical massages

To improve the general well-being or to promote blood circulation, we offer a massage of the foot and lower leg. The muscle tissue is massaged with 18 different massage grips.

Classic massage

The classical massage is the ideal form of treatment for muscle tension, back, shoulder and neck pain, rheumatism and joint complaints and other physical impairments.

Manual lymphatic drainage

Manual lymphatic drainage promotes the removal of tissue fluid and increases the self-motor activity of the lymphatic vessels. This therapy is indicated, among other things, after accidents and operations, as well as in cases of oedema and migraine.
