• Apply pain-management techniques, which may include acupuncture needling below the dermis.
• Deliver ergonomic education, including workplace assessments conducted on site.
• Educate patients and members of the healthcare team on topics such as injury prevention and health promotion.
• Carry out biomechanical foot assessments, including orthotic fitting and fabrication.
