UniBrace Training

PodoFeet Academy

Professional toenail correction training for foot care specialists.

UniBrace is a modern toenail correction system used by professionals to support the treatment of ingrown, involuted, painful, traumatic or deformed toenails. It is a safe, gentle and non-invasive method widely recognised across Europe and used in podiatry and podology clinics.

The system was developed by Polish podologist and educator Daniel Abratkiewicz, co-founder of Podoland.

The system

What is the UniBrace method?

The UniBrace system is an effective method for correcting ingrown or involuted toenails. It allows the brace to be individually adjusted to the size and shape of the toenail and to the needs of the specialist. Its simple construction and application make it possible to provide a comfortable, aesthetic and durable non-surgical correction option for suitable patients.
