Keeping Your Feet Healthy Through Education

As a society, we are constantly on our feet.  Whether the issues are caused by life expectancy increase, heavier body weight or the fact that we are trying to become more active, our feet are becoming more important to us every day.  Children are competing in athletics at a higher levels.
