 Comprehensive Treatment of the
Foot and Ankle

                   Course Description
This course is a totally different approach to treatment of the foot and ankle. We will show you manual techniques to correct foot dysfunction that leads to common foot diagnoses. This class incorporates Joint Mobilizations, Myofascial Release, and Taping. You will also make a pair of temporary orthotics in the class, which will be the same as you can start using Monday morning.

As with all of our manual therapy courses, this seminar will follow a a progression of principles and reinforce them throughout the 16 hours, is at least 75% hands-on lab, and will give the clinician hands-on skills they use immediately upon their return to the clinical setting.
