In our Industry News, O&P Alliance presented
an open letter to the orthotic, prosthetic and
pedorthic community condemning sexual
misconduct, harassment and discrimination.
PFA agrees with the O&P Alliance that these
behaviors are illegal and have no place in our
profession. We have reprinted the letter in this
issue for review.
Running is a
popular form of
exercise amongst

women.
