Welcome to the Sports Issue of Current Pedorthics! There is a great lineup of articles in this edition with some ideas that you can take right to the bank. — Think about adding sport-specific orthoses and modification of the footwear that the athletes wear. — Use the article on cycling as a jumping off point to get involved with local cyclists, and for yourself to do some brainstorming about sports that are popular in your area that require specialized footwear. — Can the principles of a device tailor made to that type of footwear and addressing the challenges and fit issues that come with this footwear be applied across many sports? Of course, and this cash only, self-pay kind of service can do wonders to beef up the bottom line! — Learn more about cuboid syndrome and be more valuable to your referral sources because of your expertise. Understand the strength and conditioning that needs to be applied hand in hand with your orthoses in order for your patients to achieve the best results possible. Take a few minutes out for yourself; be in the moment, be mindful...Most importantly, enjoy this issue of Current Pedorthics Magazine! ■ Chris Costantini Executive Editor 8 Pedorthic Footcare Association www.pedorthics.org Don’t miss out on the latest announcements and current topics we’re discussing on social media 24/7.
