Description

Ever had a patient who's tried everything for their foot, knee, or hip pain but nothing's worked? 

Or maybe a client whose movement patterns are clearly contributing to their distress, but you can’t pinpoint exactly where to start? As clinicians this is such a challenge. And with the limited training we receive on the lower extremity and its function in relation to the entire kinetic chain, it can be daunting to know what to offer these patients.

But what if you had the tools to connect the dots and help them finally find relief?

There’s nothing quite like that feeling when a patient who’s been struggling for so long tells you they can finally walk/run/hike with less pain or even without pain.

After all, didn’t we get in this business to change lives??


***Please Note: This course will be replacing the "Six Common Foot Types" Course. If you are enrolled in that course and want to update with this course, please email us and we'll enroll you automatically in this course***

What You Will Learn

Improve your patient outcomes with even the most complex cases. Upgrade your assessment and treatment toolkit for the lower extremity.

  • A dive into anatomy of the foot and it's implications in the gait cycle
  • Fascial anatomy and the relation of the foot to the rest of the body
  • Key foot assessments
  • Common findings and treatment suggestions for 6 common foot types

Objectives

Once you complete this course you'll be able to:

  1. Look beyond symptoms at biomechanics and how aberrant patterns, patterns, compensation, and load create/affect symptoms.
  2. Connect the dots between seemingly unrelated symptoms.
  3. Curate specific treatment plans to individual patients rather than relying on cookie-cutter protocols.
  4. ...and so much more.
