Foot / Ankle: Focusing on the Biomechanics of Foot and Ankle

$ 5,500.00

This online training course, Foot / Ankle Specialization gives Movement Professionals the knowledge, understanding, wisdom and skills to create the most effective environments for Rehabilitation, Performance, Prevention as it relates to the Foot and Ankle's influence on the body and the body's influence on the Foot and Ankle.

Most conventional movement education doesn’t offer a comprehensive breakdown of the foot and ankle. Consequently, practitioners often have to make educated guesses without understanding the true nature of the dysfunction they’re working with, nor how it influences (and is influenced) by the rest of the body.

This course fills in those gaps by examining how the feet and ankles are the foundation of the body and expanding the movement professional’s understanding of the biomechanics of the foot and ankle so he or she can successfully identify, assess, treat and train people suffering from pain, dysfunction, and other injuries.

Ultimately, this Foot / Ankle Specialization will provide you the foundations, along with the competence and confidence, to continue your lifelong journey to enhancing your knowledge and abilities in order to enhance the lives of others.
