Summer Time !
Hello to everyone !
Summer is here ! Hopefully , your business is as hot as the sun in Phoenix right now ! Sandals and hikers flying off the shelf , plenty of referrals coming in requesting help with foot pain from their new-found hobbies . COVID pushed many people to find sources of entertainment that they could do with their small family units , preferably outdoors . Many have turned to walking , hiking and running as low-cost , safe , COVID restriction friendly activities . This works out to our benefit . We can provide the gear that will help keep their feet safe and prevent injury during their new sport due to malalignment and overuse injuries . All of that is good for the bottom line whether you operate as retail , medically oriented , or a bit of both !
PFA ’ s Lunch & Learn presentations have been very popular . We are having really top-notch presentations from well-known experts in our field conducting highly interactive sessions on their favorite subjects . These informal discussions are great places to pick up some pearls . Speaking of pearls , we are very excited about the upcoming mini-Symposium on July 23rd . This is free for all to attend , so there are no reasons not to take advantage and get 5 free CEU ’ s . We will have lectures about 3D printing , “ fascia webbing ” and other outstanding subjects !
MISSION
PFA ’ s mission is to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of credentialed providers of lower extremity pedorthic modalities through education ; increase the demand for services through marketing ; and promote the right to practice through government affairs activities .
