Our Story
REVITALIZE YOUR FEET
Podera Health was estabilished in June 2025. The goal of the clinic is to provide quality foot care and physiotherapy services to all individuals. Podera Health was the result of a vision to bridge together the professions of Chiropody and Physiotherapy. This ensures that there is an ease of access to foot care and rehabilitation services at Podera Health. It also ensures a well connected circle of care between Chiropodists and Physiotherapists to increase the quality of care that is delivered to patients.
