Join one of our highly regarded workshops and learn more about Lower Limb Biomechanics from the experts.

Now in their 14th year, our seminars provide an introduction to the theory and techniques of lower limb biomechanics. Our ‘hands on’ courses give you the chance to participate in the practical application of assessment and measurement techniques.

Our workshops aim to increase practitioner confidence in diagnosing biomechanical conditions and prescribing Orthotics. Also, qualifying for CPD credits, course attendance can be added to your CPD portfolio as relevant learning activity.

We offer three levels:

LEVEL 1: Introductory Rear Foot Mechanics

  • Subtalar joint function/dysfunction and evaluation
  • The gait cycle
  • Hands on STJ neutral
  • Taping and strapping
  • Common conditions associated with biomechanical dysfunction.
  • Heat moulding and fitting orthosis

LEVEL 2: Introductory Fore Foot Mechanics

  • Fore foot mechanics and 1st ray function/ evaluation.
  • The relationship between biomechanical deformities and common injuries.
  • Hands on assessment of the fore foot, fore foot neutral
  • Measurement techniques
  • Wedging and troubleshooting

LEVEL 3:

Consolidates the biomechanical theory and skills presented in the L1 and 2 introductory courses. Introducing a system for approaching clinical biomechanics by proposing a ‘clinical biomechanics toolkit’.

Topics include:

  • Clinical Biomechanics toolkit
  • Foot function in perspective
  • Gross foot dysfunction
  • Identification and management of abnormal foot function
  • Discussion of different treatment options

Attendance should give practitioners confidence in placing biomechanical skills and knowledge into a clinical context. Excellent as a follow on from the Level 1 or 2 courses or for those simply looking for a refresher course.

Workshops cost £100 inc. VAT per delegate per course. Or, book both Level 1 and 2 at the same time and pay just £180 inc. VAT. This includes lunch and refreshments, lecture notes and certificate of completion.
