What is Holistic Podiatry Therapy?
Some modern Podiatry practitioners take a holistic approach to foot and ankle problems, they view the state of Podiatric health to be one facet of the overall physical and emotional health of the patient. They hold that for Podiatry procedures to be truly effective the whole person must be treated not just the feet and ankles. Holistic Podiatry probationers believe the health of the feet and ankles to be inextricably interwoven with the general physical, mental and emotional health of a person. If this is true then it follows that Podiatry problems can be both addressed and prevented by a general approach to whole body health in addition to more mainstream direct treatment of the feet and ankles. Some holistic Podiatry probationers offer other alternative therapies to compliment their work, these may included homeopathy, acupuncture, reflexology etc.
