Podiatrist

Featured Replies

Looking for a podiatrist in Phuket, this is for a young boy not an adult if this makes any difference

 

Podiatrists are very rare in Thailand.    Does  he need an actual podiatrist, or just orthotics?  If orthotics this place might suffice   https://www.instagram.com/fixifoot.phuket/?hl=en

 

Otherwise please give some details of the problem as he may have to come to Bangkok, or be treated by a non-podiatrist (e.g. ortho, dermatology or GP depending on the issue).

Yeah I know these guys, my issue is they have little in the way of understanding bio-mechanics and all in the way of band aids. In the short term this will be a fix, but his gait is off. He has a significant pronation in his step

Actually for that type of problem, the few podiatrists there are in Thailand would not be any real help.

 

What he needs is proper orthotics plus stretches. The stretches you can find online. For orthotics, you might try here (won't be cheap though)

Any recommendation for good, cost-effective orthotics around Salaya?
