Pieter Roos Podiatrist

ABOUT US

Podiatrist, Pieter Roos, qualified at the University of the Witwatersrand in 1989. Over the past 22 years, he has completed a multitude of additional courses and kept up to date with medical advances. These skills enable him to deal with any podiatry requirement of the patients referred to his practice in Centurion, South Africa.

Having successfully operated and managed a private practice for almost a decade. During that time, Pieter worked in conjunction with the Western Cape Provincial Government Health Department, servicing out patients, empowering him with an understanding of the need for effective healthcare.

This understanding led him to work in the Middle East, where his passion for patients with life changing illness such as diabetes has culminated in the opening of his practice in Centurion. Although foot conditions relating to life changing illness is his passion, Pieter feels that one needs to continue with the everyday patient treatment, so as not to lose touch with the workings of one’s field.

Future plans include a research study involving the affects of HIV medication on the feet.

Footwear

Wearing shoes that fit properly and support your feet is vital to avoid sore feet and to prevent or alleviate many common foot problems. Footwear can help sore feet by providing support, such as lace-up boots. Arch supports help distribute weight and remove pressure from the heel and forefoot. High-heeled shoes (high heels) place stress on the body and feet and can cause calluses, bunions, claw toes and corns. The right footwear is also an important part of playing sport.
