Pedicure in Risdam

Risdam is a spacious residential district in the west of Hoorn, with plenty of low rise housing, greenery and a mixed population of young families and people who have lived there since it was built. From the practice on the Botter you are there in a few minutes.

What comes up in Risdam most often

There is a lot of cycling and walking in Risdam, along the water and through the parks. That is good for fitness but loads the forefoot, certainly in shoes with little cushioning. Callus under the ball of the foot and pressure points on the toes are the most common complaints here.

Treatment at the practice or at your home

Residents who have lived there a long time are now somewhat older, and that is exactly when trimming yourself gets harder. Patty visits Risdam at home for €5 on top of the practice rate (excluding travel costs), or you come to the Botter.

What you can do yourself in Risdam

Anyone walking a lot along the water here does well to alternate between two pairs of shoes. The same shoe every day means pressure on exactly the same spot every day. Moisturise in the evening with a cream containing five to ten per cent urea and keep the space between the toes dry; that is where athlete's foot starts.
