Laufgsund's Team

Your experts for healthy walking.
Laufgsund combines podotherapy, orthopedic technology, and physiotherapy to provide you with individually tailored solutions for pain-free movement.

Our approach: More than just a treatment

At Laufgsund, we take time for you. Healthy walking is more than just the right insole, it’s the interplay of posture, movement and personalised therapy. Our approach goes beyond a quick fix, we rely on thorough analyses, tailor-made corrective measures and close collaboration with experts.

Podotherapy is still little known in Switzerland, yet it offers precise, well-grounded and tested methods to correct misalignments and treat discomfort sustainably. Our goal is to help you for the long term, not merely to ease symptoms but to tackle the causes directly.

Three things that make Laufgsund unique

  • Thorough analysis of your movement: our therapies are based on a detailed assessment of gait pattern, posture and foot type—far more than a static imprint.

  • Individual solutions for lasting mobility: insoles and therapies are precisely matched to your movement patterns to activate muscles and noticeably enhance mobility.

  • Interdisciplinary collaboration: working with physio- and orthopaedic specialists, we craft holistic treatments that fit you perfectly.

Lisa Petersen – the founder with a clear mission

Lisa brought her podotherapy expertise from the Netherlands to Switzerland to offer innovative, holistic foot-health treatments. Since 2018, she has worked passionately to give people targeted support for their individual walking challenges.

Her approach: take time, look closely and develop personalized solutions. Sustainable change needs a solid analysis and a therapy that adapts to the person, not the other way round.
