Mobile podiatry: why home services are the model of the future

A constantly growing customer base that would be hard to reach with a fixed practice. Plus, a revolutionary concept for mobile working with a manageable risk: getting started in mobile podiatry is easier than setting up a fixed practice and is especially future-proof with you.

Strongly growing demand for mobile podiatry and foot care servicesy

Anyone currently considering setting up a mobile practice is likely to have good chances of success and a promising future, if only for statistical reasons. Population development charts show why this is the case.

For example, the population in Germany is ageing rapidly. Around 29 per cent of the total population is now over 60 years old. By 2030, this percentage will increase to 33 per cent, and by 2040, statisticians expect more than 35 per cent of the population to be over 60 years old. The trend is even more drastic for those over 75 years old: While they currently account for around 11 per cent of the total population, by 2040 it will be entirely 16 per cent.

Older, less mobile and open to in-home services

Older people in particular are increasingly suffering from foot problems and are looking for qualified help. The majority of them are financially secure and have high expectations in terms of availability and service provision. Above all, the willingness to make home or residential visits will play a prominent role in the future. Convenience and time savings are already an important aspect, and not just for older people. Another reason why mobile podiatry will be increasingly in demamd in the future: walking problems that prevent people from visiting a podiatry practice will occur more and more frequently, even in younger age groups. For many, even the short walk to the practice is a reason to go without foot care entirely. A sad consequence of the modern ‘sedentary society’. It is not without reason that they say sitting is the new smoking. A trend that will also fuel demand for podiatry and foot care!
