Army National Guard
Dr. Jeremy Howard joined the Florida Army National Guard in 2002 and is a veteran of Afghanistan (2009-2010) and served in Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia during 2021. He currently serves as the State’s Holistic Health & Fitness (H2F) Program’s Integrator and Chief of Training. He earned his Bachelors of Science in Athletic Training from Florida Gulf Coast University, and both a Masters of Health Science in Athletic Training and Educational Doctorate from the University of Saint Augustine for Health Sciences.
While he has worked in more traditional settings such as Collegiate Sports Medicine and Clinical work for Chiropractor, he has run State-level programs in health and wellness for the FLARNG since 2018. His military skillset is quite different than his civilian healthcare career. He is a Chief Warrant Officer 3 (CW3) holding the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) of 140A Air & Missile Defense Systems Integrator and graduate of the highly competitive Joint Interface Control Officer (JICO) course, where he manages tactical data links (TDLs) and secure internet protocol operations to ensure exchange of tactical data across a theater of operations.
During his last deployment in Iraq and Syria, he managed the exchange of Air Picture and tactical data for Central and North Iraq, as well as Eastern Syria, directly resulting in successful engagements during an enemy drone attack. His diligence and efforts in that deployment earned him a Bronze Star and selection as the 2021 Fires Center of Excellence Sage Award and the 2021 Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance’s U.S. Missile Defender of the Year award.
Aside from the 40+ healthcare credentials he holds, he is also credentialed through CompTIA in A Plus, Network Plus, Security Plus, Information Technologies Operations Specialist, and Secure Infrastructure Specialist. Jeremy is currently serving as a volunteer leader on the NATA’s Armed Forces COPA Committee, NSCA’s Tactical Strength & Conditioning Special Interest Group, and the Florida State’s NSCA committee as the Tactical Representative. Jeremy has published two research papers and previously contributed to the NATA’s Blog and On-Demand Trainings.

Athletic trainers frequently lack a concise, repeatable process to evaluate foot posture/timing and to integrate orthoses appropriately with loading and return-to-sport (activity) plans. The practice gap shows up as: (a) inconsistent impression/casting quality and calibration to bodyweight/activity/shoe class; (b) uncertainty about when orthoses are likely to help (e.g., patellofemoral pain, plantar-heel pain) vs when they should not replace loading (e.g., Achilles); (c) low confidence verifying fit at dispense and initiating early micro-modifications; and (d) weak break-in and follow-up routines (48-hr/14-day,+). These gaps drive avoidable discomfort, poor adherence, and time lost from sport (activity). A focused, skills-based course that installs a quick screen, a stepwise orthoses protocol, and brief follow-up checkpoints will close the gap and improve athlete comfort, function, and availability.
Abstract:
Athletic trainers frequently lack a concise, repeatable process to evaluate foot posture/timing and to integrate orthoses appropriately with loading and return-to-sport (activity) plans. The practice gap shows up as: (a) inconsistent impression/casting quality and calibration to bodyweight/activity/shoe class; (b) uncertainty about when orthoses are likely to help (e.g., patellofemoral pain, plantar-heel pain) vs when they should not replace loading (e.g., Achilles); (c) low confidence verifying fit at dispense and initiating early micro-modifications; and (d) weak break-in and follow-up routines (48-hr/14-day,+). These gaps drive avoidable discomfort, poor adherence, and time lost from sport (activity). A focused, skills-based course that installs a quick screen, a stepwise orthoses protocol, and brief follow-up checkpoints will close the gap and improve athlete comfort, function, and availability.Learning Objectives:
- Describe how arch posture/timing (pronation ↔ supination) alters foot function and load transfer during the athletic gait cycle.
- Identify at least three athletic presentations where excessive pronation contributes to symptoms and explain the MASS Posture rationale for intervention. (e.g. PFP, plantar heel pain, medial tibial stress) and explain the MASS Posture rationale for intervention.
- Explain how MASS Posture full-contact, calibrated orthoses can restore stability and improve gait economy in athletes, using sport-specific examples.
- Outline key sport-footwear considerations (cleats, spikes, tight toe-boxes, dress/work) when recommending MASS Posture orthoses, including cover length, shell width, and heel cup depth as well as calibration principles.
