Bunion & Co.

On the list of the most frequent foot complaints, problems of the forefoot follow closely behind heel pain. The preconceived notion that such problems can be attributed solely to the wrong choice of shoes is rarely true. Bunion, metatarsalgia, as well as the frequently misunderstood Morton neuroma, are closely related to the complex relationships between foot position and gait behavior. As a result, these problems of the forefoot appear very different in each human being. In this book, Patrick Hofer describes the connections that can lead to forefoot problems over the years in a familiar and comprehensive manner. He shows ways in which those affected should react to such problems and how to prevent them. The complications related to the forefoot mentioned in his first book, "Feet, Knowing and Treating Foot Problems", are presented here in greater detail and supplemented with further information. He does not shy away from considering old teachings from a controversial point of view. Few books offer patients and those interested in learning, explanations and recommendations on the most common problems with the forefoot in such an depth.

The Swiss Patrick Hofer (1966) is known for his goal-oriented problem-solving approaches. His ability to perceive the human body as a whole and to advise and treat every patient individually makes him an outstanding specialist. The ability of the trained orthopedic technician Patrick Hofer to explain facts in a comprehensible and intuitive way also distinguishes his competence. In his first book "Your Feet, Recognizing and Treating Foot Problems" (September 2014), he summarizes in detail what he has learned during the long period of work in the field. His findings as well as many valuable tips can be found in such concentration in hardly any other book on the subject of feet. With his other books "Heel pain" (March 2015) and "Bunion & Co., Forefoot problems" (September 2015), he provides more detailed information and solutions for these special foot problems. With his "Quick Guide: Healthy Feet" (January 2016), he provides a first-class, color-illustrated tool to effectively improve foot health with effective measures and simple exercises. Through his understandable language and practical approach, his books concerned both laymen as well as professionals are important tools in the understanding of the feet. In 2017 his books are also published in English. Further information is available at www.patrickhofer.info
