Medical Night at Rodiez's a Success

 
Jan 29, 2010

On January 27th, 2010 Kyle Roberts, C. Ped. of Footworks Orthotics, Inc. spoke at Rodiez's Runing Store.   Medical doctors and physical therapists were in attendance.  Mr. Roberts spoke on topics including biomechanics of the lower extremity, how orthotics can be used as part of a comprehensive orthopedic treatment plan, and how he believes semi-rigid orthotics made of cork and EVA can be much better at healing chronic injuries than those made of hard, rigid plastic.
