My Story
Your feet are in safe hands!
Before moving to Switzerland and opening PODOLOGIE RIGER, Tessa worked in a highly specialized Podiatry department managing complex foot wounds. She is not only a medical podiatrist but also a foot wound specialist and a non-medical independent prescriber. She has been involved with at risk patients for most of her professional life and as a result of working in the Diabetic foot field has collated a wealth of experience. During her time at the Royal Free London Hospital, she published two papers and worked within a multi-disciplinary team.
Tessa's British Podiatry training is recognized by both the Swiss Red Cross and Swiss Health Insurance Companies and she remains registered with the UK Health Care Professionals Council and is also a member of the Royal College of Podiatrists.
Tessa also worked from 2021 until 2023 in Limmattal Spital, Schlieren with at risk patients and continues to maintain her professional development.
