What Is PFA? 
The Pedorthic Footwear Association (PFA), founded in 1958, is the not-for-profit professional association which represents the interests of the credentialed (certified and/or licensed) pedorthist and supports the pedorthic profession at large.  Through the efforts of PFA, pedorthics -- the design, manufacture, modification and fit of shoes and foot orthoses to alleviate problems caused by disease, congenital condition, overuse or injury - is a well-established allied health profession which makes an invaluable contribution to public health.  

PFA's mission is to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the credentialed pedorthist through education; increase the demand for the credentialed pedorthist's services through marketing; and defend the credentialed pedorthist's right to practice through government affairs activities.
