issue features a follow up article to
the research article we published in
the November/December 2018 Issue.
This article will give you evidence

when treating knee pain caused by
foot malalignment. Harry Centa from
PartnerShip details what to expect in
shipping costs for the year. The dance
season of the holidays has no doubt
left your customers who gave their
blood sweat and foot health begging
for your help. Mel Cheskin is here
with suggestions for treating these
athletes.
I hope you enjoy spending some of
your hard earned downtime perusing
this issue of Current Pedorthics. I
also hope that the holidays were both
wonderful and profitable. Here’s to a
fantastic new year!
Best wishes to you all!

he holidays are behind us now.
Time to sit back, relax and start
working on plans for next year. For
those of you that are mainly retail,
the exhaustion of the season is finally
starting to lift. Hopefully, the fog of
retail will dissipate to reveal solid
profits meaning the whole ordeal was
worthwhile. The crew here at PFA is
doing the same. Everyone is sitting
back knowing that the Symposium in
St Louis, the culmination of a year’s
worth of hard work, was a rousing
success once again. For those of
you that attended, thank you! Your
participation is what makes the whole
thing possible. With the learning,
networking with colleagues and the
chance to see the latest and greatest
from our vendor partners, you made
this year’s event truly fantastic!
Just like you are no doubt doing,
slowing down does not mean stopped.
The PFA Board of Directors is already
starting work on next year’s event.
This one will be a landmark event,
PFA’s 60th Anniversary. And where
better to celebrate than Las Vegas?
We have lined up a stellar venue
and can’t wait to unveil the details.
They will be coming soon, but mark
November 7th through 9th on your
calendar now. You are going to be
busy at your association’s milestone
birthday party! (See: pg.41)
In the meantime, I am happy to
present the January/February issue of
