Enhance Your Expertise in Foot & Ankle Assessment

Deepen your understanding of foot and ankle structure and function, equipping yourself with the skills to assess, hypothesise, and treat with confidence.

This one-day workshop takes an in-depth look at foot & ankle anatomy, biomechanics, and pain, giving you the knowledge and practical tools to enhance your treatment approach.

• Refine your interpretation - As clinicians, our job isn’t just to test—it’s to interpret. To ask the right questions. To step back and see whether the area you are testing is truly the villain, or just a victim caught in the chain reaction of movement.

• Enhance your Assessment Skills - Because in the end, great assessment isn’t about finding what’s wrong. It’s about understanding why. We will help arm you with deeper understanding of assesments such as Knee to Wall, Drawer and Navicular Drop test … and more
