Orthotics: Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes!

Written By: Julie Barnett PT, DPT, MTC

 

Do you want to learn more about simple taping, shoes, inserts and other economically priced braces/sleeves?

This upcoming webinar is for you! I have worked with thousands of patients in outpatient orthopedics and can help YOU help YOUR patients with simple items that make a BIG difference.  Research can be daunting to read and determine what orthotics are effective for common orthopedic condition.  This webinar combines a blend of clinical experience, patient preferences, and evidence with a practical approach.

Walking and running shoe recommendations have swung from stability to minimalistic and now back to stability shoes.  Taping has ranged from athletic cotton tape to Kinesio tape.  Knees sleeves could be $100’s of dollars or less than $50 and make a difference.

Register for this live webinar and ask questions that you have wanted to ask for years!
