My name is Arezou Hassani, and I am a Chiropodist (foot specialist) practicing in Ontario, Canada. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from York University and an Advanced Diploma in Chiropody from The Michener Institute of Education at UHN, which is the only English-taught Chiropody program in Canada. I am a registered member of the College of Chiropodists of Ontario, the Canadian Federation of Podiatric Medicine, and the Ontario Society of Chiropodists. Additionally, I volunteer as a fit feet screener for the Special Olympic athletes.
Over the years, I have gained extensive experience working in various clinical settings, including private clinics and hospitals, where I have provided care and education to patients of all ages, from pediatrics to geriatrics. As a result, I have seen numerous foot-related issues that can cause pain or diseases, impacting a person’s overall well-being, reducing their quality of life, limiting physical activity, and increasing the risks of other comorbidities.
The confluence of COVID-19 restrictions and the disruptions in healthcare have shown how important foot health is. In response to this pressing need, I founded Footwyse, a comprehensive platform committed to bridging innovative research with best practice education and treatment. At Footwyse, our primary objective is to amplify awareness regarding the crucial nature of foot health, offering tips and tools for prevention and management. Our virtual clinic is designed to seamlessly integrate into your busy lifestyle, enabling you to address foot concerns conveniently online. We also provide a selection of hand-picked foot care products, to help support your journey toward healthier feet.
As a Chiropodist, I am passionate about my work and continually seek to innovate the field of Chiropody. My goal is to equip people of all ages with the necessary tools to achieve their best possible foot health. “Healthy feet mean a healthy you,” and I invite you to join me on this journey to reshape the lack of knowledge and common misconceptions surrounding foot health. Follow us on our social media platforms and become a part of the community and take healthy steps forward in caring for your feet!
