Course Topics

The foot and the body.

The primary role of the foot is weight-bearing. How it functions when it hits the ground affects the biomechanics of the entire body. Yet, most of what you know about the foot is when it's in a non weight-bearing position. In this information packed 3-day, hands-on practical seminar, you'll gain an understanding of the weight-bearing foot which you will use in treating the total patient.

Benefiting you. Benefiting your patients.

Gain abilities and confidence in evaluating and treating your patients. Sports Medicine patients. Neurological patients. Pediatric patients. Patients who locomote. Patients in need of your biomechanical understanding of them.

Treating the causes as well as the symptoms.

Through discussions, hands-on workshops, slides and case presentations, you'll learn to understand the healthy foot and recognize and identify foot abnormalities related to your patient's problems. You will perform a meaningful biomechanical examination and confidently be able to match the symptoms of faulty biomechanics with the problems that cause them. Your treatment will then be effectively directed towards treating the causes.

Getting comfortable with orthotic therapy.

You'll make technically correct neutral position casts- key elements for successful orthotic therapy. You'll learn about the specific function of available orthotic devices and how to use a professional consulting service to assist you in selecting and obtaining the most effective device for your patient. In short, you'll gain the confidence to effectively recommend orthotic therapy - a proven tool in the management of the body's interrelated locomotor dysfunctions.

Getting questions answered. Every question.

We're as interested in listening to you as we think you'll be in listening to us. So as always, we make it a practice to set aside extra time to clarify a specific point or to enlarge on an area of particular interest to you. If it's humanly possible to accommodate you - before or after the regular seminar hours - be assured that we will.
