Hoorn is the largest town in West Friesland and the municipality where the practice on the Botter is located. It runs from the historic centre with its cobbles and setts to spacious post war districts such as Risdam, Kersenboogerd and the Grote Waal. Anyone working or shopping in the centre covers a good many kilometres on hard paving each day, and feet notice that.
The practice of Pedicure Patty is on the Botter in Hoorn. Residents of Hoorn come there for complete foot care, from trimming nails and removing callus to dealing with a corn, cracked heels or an ingrown nail. Prefer not to travel? Patty also visits your home in Hoorn for €5 on top of the practice rate (excluding travel costs).
Anyone working or shopping in Hoorn covers a good many kilometres a day over cobbles, setts and paving. Hard surfaces spread pressure poorly: the ball of the foot and the heel absorb everything and the body answers with a thicker layer of callus. That goes well for a long time, until the layer itself becomes a pressure point and starts to sting or split. In the €45 standard treatment that callus is removed and the cause of the pressure is looked at straight away.
The practice is on the Botter, in a residential street with parking outside, so you do not have to go into the old centre. From Risdam, Kersenboogerd and the Grote Waal you are there within ten minutes. If you prefer not to leave home, Patty treats at your home for €5 extra; in Hoorn that is usually quick to arrange.
The most common question is how often to come. For most people every six to eight weeks works, but anyone with a standing job or walking a lot on hard floors is often better off at four to six weeks. During the treatment Patty sees exactly how fast your callus returns and advises accordingly.
Patty also visits homes in the settlements and districts around Hoorn, for example Risdam, Kersenboogerd and Grote Waal.
