What is podiatry?
Medical Foot Health with Heart, Hand, and Mind
Podiatry is the non-medical healing science centered around the foot. As a medical profession, it deals with the preventive, therapeutic, and rehabilitative treatment of the foot, especially in high-risk patients such as diabetics, rheumatics, or people with neurological diseases.
Podiatrists are not pedicurists; they work on medical prescription, often in an interdisciplinary team with doctors, orthopedists, diabetes centers, and wound experts.

Andrea Königsberger / Podiatrist Andrea
I am a podiatrist with all my heart. In my daily work, I combine medical expertise with human proximity and a keen eye for the future of your profession. Whether it's classic treatments, preventive measures, or interdisciplinary collaboration for complex conditions. Because for me, it's not just about the foot, but the person standing on it.
📚 I regularly write columns for professional journals, in which I address current developments, challenges, and visions for podiatry. I always remain practical, honest, and committed. My goal: to further develop podiatry without forgetting its roots.
🌱 Good podiatry is more than technique or therapy. It is meeting people on an equal footing, active listening, and responsible action.
"Feet carry us through life, and those who treat them should stand on solid ground themselves."

Standing still is falling behind
This is especially true in podiatry. Medical knowledge is constantly evolving, technical innovations are finding their way into our daily practice, and our patients are becoming more informed and demanding. Those who don't stay on the ball risk falling behind.
Further training is the key to keeping specialist knowledge up to date, safely applying new treatment methods, and meeting growing demands, whether it's in the care of diabetic feet, handling digital documentation, or interdisciplinary collaboration.
📌 They not only strengthen your competence but also your self-confidence in your profession.
📌 They create quality, for you and your patients.
📌 And they show: You take your profession seriously.
Because one thing is certain: Feet remain human, but the demands on us are constantly changing.
Get ready for the future. With knowledge. With attitude. With further training.
