Course structure and outline
This practical course is designed to expand your viewpoint, knowledge and skills to discover all possible contributing factors to chronic foot and ankle pain needed for a successful outcome. In the four foundation modules I will guide you through a systematic problem solving approach to the assessment and treatment of foot and pain and injury where you become the detective as we solve two challenging case histories who’s conditions were successfully resolved. The four foundation modules are designed to build on one another and need to be undertaken sequentially.
In the three applied modules that follow, we will apply the approach developed in the foundation modules to expand your assessment and treatment of many seemingly common conditions affecting the rearfoot, midfoot and forefoot. These modules which can be undertaken in any order, take you beyond a ” recipe approach” to treatment and appreciate that no two conditions are truly alike.
Each module is conveniently broken down into short PowerPoint audio presentations with quick quizzes to help you recall useful information in the clinic. The practical video demonstrations, notes, checklists, professional resources and case studies will help you apply this knowledge in the clinic.
This introduction to the course will explore the mindset and communication skills of an advanced therapist, and the framework for an integrated approach that will help you find the clues others have missed.
This module is designed to refresh and add to your existing knowledge of the complex integrated anatomy of the foot and ankle with applications to the clinical setting including:
- Movements used in assessment
- Bones, joints and ligaments and mechanisms of injury
- Muscles, insertions and trigger points
- Nerves and their entrapment sites
- Myofascial Meridians influencing the lower limbs
- Biomechanics research and implications for treatment
This module will help you easily retain and access the details that make a difference to the outcome
