Opportunity Learning Outcomes 

From this experience, I hope to gain a better understanding of how proper footwear can help people function better. I also hope to learn more about how the feet are a foundation for the entire body and how that can be a main sight for many injuries involving the lower body. This will help me gain the knowledge of how I can treat patients in the future and make recommendations to keep them healthy.
