Sightseeing, walks along the beach, hikes, or days at amusement parks: on vacation, the number of steps we take often increases without us even realizing it. This change in pace, combined with wearing sandals or shoes that aren’t always the best fit, puts extra strain on our feet. This can lead to foot fatigue, blisters, and pain in the heels, knees, or back.

For pharmacists, these seasonal complaints provide an opportunity to engage in conversation at the counter. An analysis of foot pressure distribution helps provide a better understanding of how pressure is distributed under the feet and allows the pharmacist to guide the patient toward an appropriate solution. When warranted, orthotic insoles can help distribute pressure more evenly, improve walking comfort, and reduce certain discomforts associated with more intense activity.
With VistaPod, the pharmacy can offer a comprehensive service: foot scanning on a sensor-equipped platform, analysis of foot pressure, immediate results, and selection of custom-made or ready-to-wear orthotic insoles based on the patient’s needs.
For the practice owner, this unique service showcases the team’s expertise, fosters patient loyalty, and builds a high-value-added practice. Summer thus becomes an ideal time to raise patients’ awareness of foot health while generating additional revenue.
