"This course is a must for every Pedorthist. It gives you the tools to easily evaluate, educate, and provide care to your patients. The Quadrastep System is the perfect way to dispense corrective orthotics on the spot. They are also easy to modify and customize. I have been using this foot typing method and Quadrastep system for six years. The success I have had with this system is remarkable. Patients love learning about their Foot Type and the orthotics provide exceptional comfort and function. Don’t miss this opportunity!!" - Ellie Penner, C.Ped
"Whether you've heard Louis and/or Roberta speak or not, this is one of the best and practical programs regarding biomechanics and orthotics you'll hear anywhere, any time. Easy to understand, easy to translate to your patients, easy to implement in your practice. Guaranteed you won't/can't sleep through the lectures. They're entertaining and informative, not dry biomechanics, they're paced well, and Louis might call you out if he catches you sleeping or checking your smartphone. If you have the time, don't miss it! If you don't have the time, make the time--you won't regret it!" - Brandon Macy, DPM
"Great conference. Worth your time. Reignited my passion for biomechanics. Hit the ground running right after the conference!" - Nick Pagano, DPM
