Fit Feet at Regional Powerlifting

Screening Times: 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

About: Special Olympics Fit Feet offers free screenings to evaluate ankles, feet, lower extremity biomechanics, and proper shoe and sock gear to participating athletes. Fit Feet helps Special Olympics athletes step lively on the playing field, and in everyday life. Many athletes suffer from foot and ankle pain, or deformities that impair their performance.

In fact, up to 50 percent of Special Olympics athletes experience one or more preventable or treatable foot conditions that can affect their sports participation. Often, these individuals are not fitted with the best shoes and socks for their particular sport. During Fit Feet events, volunteer foot healthcare specialists work with athletes to evaluate problems of the feet, ankles and lower extremity biomechanics.

Athletes not competing can still attend! Please contact Jena Twete, Director of Inclusive Health at jtwete@specialolympicsco.org to reserve your spot.
