The Evolution of Pedorthics
Event Date:
Jul 23, 2021
11:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST
PFA is proud to present this ½ day symposium that will present new, timely and relevant content for today’s OP&P clinician. Learn about current scanning technologies that digitally capture the foot. Learn about 3D printing options to manufacture custom orthotics. Understand the tremendous beneficial environmental impact of using any of these technologies in your practice. Understand recent changes in privileging standards. Understand and employ best business practices that will save you time and money. Learn how to best comply with the standards that apply directly to your practice. Be able to chart documentation that supports treatment, billing and medical necessity. Make sure you get paid for the services you provide and help defend yourself from audits. Further understand the “fascia webbing” and how movement of the feet involving focus on fascia affects the entire body, the body’s performance, and its power to improve body systems. Optimize foot/leg exercise and health benefits.

Sue Fetzner, BS, MS, LPed/CPed
You will gain a new perspective on pedorthic management when she speaks about the body’s network of “fascia webbing” and how movement of the feet involving focus on fascia affects the entire body, the body’s performance, and its power to improve body systems.
Heel Life

Yetzalee Mazza
I’ve always been a high heels girl, studying fashion in the city I wore heels every day and literally would be running in them to catch the train, get to class, meetings, etc ironically I ended up working for an awesome comfort brand and with recently I finding out I have plantar fasciitis ( experiencing heel pain) I value and appreciate my Jambu shoes more than ever.
