This microlearning aims to explain how Podiatrists can help prevent complications that can impact people’s quality of life, physical activity, and most of all how Podiatrists can keep you pain-free. Podiatrists are trained to assess, diagnose, treat and evaluate biomechanical, neurological, vascular and dermatological abnormalities related to the foot and the lower limb in people of all ages.
