Foot Health Awareness Month "Today's Podiatrist Keeps Children Moving"

Today's Podiatrist Keeps America Moving
By:  American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA)



Combating childhood obesity has become a major concern in America. However, today’s podiatrist plays an integral role in keeping children healthy and can make a difference in their lives.
Today’s Podiatrist Keeps America Moving!




In conjunction with the national “Let’s Move!” initiative launched by First Lady Michelle Obama, APMA’s new campaign, “Today’s Podiatrist Keeps America Moving,” hopes to shine a spotlight on the connection between childhood obesity and foot health. Keeping a child’s feet pain-free plays a vital role in keeping him or her healthy and active.
