arch is upon us. Here in the
Northeast, it is in like a lion.
Here’s hoping the promise of out like
a lamb is delivered upon! Welcome
to the March/April issue of Current
Pedorthics. By now, many of you
with retail components are readying
for Spring and sandal season. For all
of us, the end of winter brings many
a client out of hibernation. This
return to activity is bound to bring
with it a host of injuries, new and
old. This issue has some research for
everyone with a look at patterns and
fit of shoes worn and a solid research
article comparing the varying effects
of shoes and barefoot running on the
knee. Sharpen your skills, patients
will soon await your attention and
depend on you for your expertise so
they can get back to preparing for
Summer!
I am also thrilled to announce
that PFA has once again started
offering recordings of past webinars
and former CP articles for you to
purchase to obtain Continuing
6
Education Units. These are being
offered through our brand new
Learning Management System. This
platform allows us to bring you this
content in a way that is easy to use,
provides a documentation of your
progress and immediately generates a
certificate of completion to download
or print upon successful completion
of every course.
Log in with your membership
information and save money on each
course you take! This is a great way
to get valuable education, earn CEU’s
and never have to leave your couch!
