Biometric insole startup strengthens suppliers list with Northumberland clinician

Podfo is to team up with Northumberland-based clinician, Chris Oakey as part of its growth strategy to strengthen its network of national suppliers.

Since its launch earlier this year, regional manufacturer, Podfo Ltd has experienced much national growth and demand for its bespoke biometric insoles.

Podfo is a biometric insole seamlessly designed for the closest fit to the foot.

Utilising its design technology, Podfo provides clinicians with an adaptive seamless orthotic that could offer many prescriptive possibilities but crucially also meets consumer needs for a durable and effective insole.

Elaine Hall, managing director at Podfo, said: “We work closely with specialist clinicians throughout the UK to ensure that the public are provided with the best possible bespoke insole to help keep them moving in comfort and without pain.

“We are delighted to welcome Chris and all the expertise he as to offer, to the Podfo network.”

Chris Oakey has 25 years of experience treating patients within the NHS and within his private clinics. Chris will be one of the first podiatrists in Northumberland to offer Podfo and is currently sole provider of Podfo in the Ponteland and Rothbury areas.

He added: “People are more active than ever, and I have an increasing number of patients walking through my doors looking for biomechanical help, some high-performance athletes, others just wanting to remain active in later life.

“I need to use the best possible treatments in clinic to provide the optimum solutions for my patient’s needs.

“Podfo not only provides me with uncompromising functionality in an orthotic, but also meets patient demands for a discrete, light and slim bespoke insole that is highly durable and incredibly comfortable to wear.”
