Emphasis will be placed on non-invasive preventative strategies, including proper footwear selection, daily foot hygiene, routine foot assessments, and the use of custom orthotics to improve pressure distribution and support overall lower-limb health. The workshop aims to empower members of the community with simple, effective tools to maintain independence, mobility, and quality of life.
