Introduction

Dorien Welcome to the site of Podologiepraktijk Statenkwartier.

My name is Dorien Roest-van Rooij and I am a certified Register Podologist and affiliated with Stichting Loop and Podozorg Nederland. Additionally, I have years of experience as a pedicure and have specialised in diabetic foot treatment.

After I had received my certificate for pedicure, I started my own practice for foot care. However I soon noticed that my interests reached beyond basic footcare. I wanted more...
In the following years, I enrolled in various courses and specialised is various fields, e.g.; foot care for diabetics, fungus diagnostics and nail regulation. 
I wanted to know even more about feet and the resulting disorders so I decided to sign up for podiatry training. I am now a registered podiatrist A and B and obtained the course podiatric care for diabetics. In addition I now employ an ultrasonograph in my practice to be able to analyse foot, ankle or knee related problems more effectively.

Podology Practice


Podoogy is a study that aims to prevent and treat complaints and impairment in the foot. As a podologist I treat patients with foot injuries or foot related complaints that are the result of the malfunctioning of the feet (e.g.; knee, hip or back complaints). Usually a patient comes to a podologist after a referral by a physician or pedicure, however a referral is not mandatory. As a podologist I take an anamnesis and preform an elaborate podological examination. After presenting my diagnostic findings, I will offer a therapy plan if necessary. The therapy plan can consist of corrective or protective techniques, like orthosis and/or insole corrections. The profession of a podiatrist goes substantially further than that of a pedicure.

                  

Because podology is an unprotected profession, meaning that everyone can call himself or herself a podologist, there is a governing institution in the Netherlands for podology call “Stichting Loop”. This protects and guarantees the quality of podology. Only podologists that have completed the required the education are considered for membership. For this reason many insurers completely or partially reimburse a visit to a registrated podologist.
