This year, ORTEK became part of the 25th Congress of the Czech Podiatric Community — a major professional event for podiatrists, physiotherapists, and other specialists who work with foot health every day.
For us, it was not just an exhibition or a product presentation. It was dozens of live conversations, new connections, professional discussions, and sincere reactions from people who tried ORTEK massage mats for the very first time.
For ORTEK, it was also an opportunity to talk with specialists about home prevention, foot training, and sensory stimulation, as well as to hear professional opinions from practitioners who work with clients daily.
This was the phrase we heard many times near our stand throughout the event.
People came to try the mats out of curiosity and then came back again. Some brought colleagues, some took photos of the models, and some immediately started asking about cooperation for their practice or store.
The following attracted particular interest:
- different surface textures
- sensory stimulation for the feet
- home foot training
- the possibility of using the mats as an addition to professional client work
Many specialists noted that simple daily use of the mats can become an excellent addition to professional foot care work.
And our new round massage “Spikes” mat became one of the most discussed products of the event.
A practice that started with a mat for his own son
A special part of the event was the presentation by Jana Šuráňová, where a practical case study by podiatrist Petra Ullmanna on the use of ORTEK mats in client work was presented.The story started very simply: Mr. Ullmann once purchased an ORTEK mat for his son. Later, he began recommending it to his clients and using it in his own practice.
Participants were especially interested in his idea of giving mats to clients to take home for a few days of testing.
According to Petra Ullmanna, this is what truly helps people feel the effect. And often, after such testing, clients return already confident in their choice.
When professionals experience the product themselves
We saw people take off their shoes “just for a minute,” but then stay at the stand for a long time, discussing their sensations after trying the mats and gladly taking business cards.
We were also pleasantly surprised that many guests specifically highlighted:
- comfortable and pleasant material
- affordable price
- ease of use and maintenance
Home prevention — an extension of a specialist’s work
That is exactly why ORTEK massage mats generated such strong interest among podiatrists and physiotherapists:
- simple daily use
- the ability to train feet at home
- sensory stimulation
- noticeable effect even after short-term use
Thank you for your trust
