Mastering Foot Mechanics
For Therapists
Part of the Gait & Biomechanics Workshop Series
What Is the Workshop?
Mastering Foot Mechanics is a two-day, hands-on clinical workshop designed to elevate your skills as a therapist by teaching you how the foot really works in human movement—and how it influences everything above it.
Rather than treating the foot like a fixed object or just another place to needle, we teach you how to assess and treat it as a three-dimensional, dynamic structure that directly impacts the knee, hip, spine, and even the breath. You’ll walk away with a movement-focused framework to understand the true drivers of dysfunction—and how to treat them effectively.
Think: full-body clinical reasoning that starts at the ground.
Not: another orthotic prescription workshop or “stretch the calves” refresher.
How This Differs from Other Foot Courses
Why Take This Workshop?
Because you’re done patching symptoms.
Because you’re curious why your patient’s back pain keeps returning—despite perfect glute strength.
Because you want to treat the cause, not the complaint.
You’ll learn how to:
Decode compensation strategies you can see in walking
Feel the difference between joints that move and joints that pretend to
Apply interventions that produce change instantly—not after 6 sessions
This isn’t more of the same—it’s a new lens for your practice.
Who Should Take It?
If you treat humans who walk—this is for you.
Physios, Chiros, Osteos, Myotherapists
Podiatrists who want to go beyond orthotics
Personal trainers and coaches bridging rehab with performance
Pilates, yoga, and movement pros wanting deeper insight
Therapists working with chronic pain or movement dysfunction
✅ Especially if you’ve ever looked at a foot and thought, “I feel like I should know more about what’s happening here.”
What You’ll Learn
The 5 functional phases of foot mechanics (not just pronation/supination)
The full joint-by-joint map of 3D foot motion during walking
Dynamic foot shape and posture assessment (not static-only testing)
The vital role of the talus in whole-body joint stacking
How to link foot mechanics to common dysfunctions in the knee, hip, SIJ, and beyond
How to use gait-phase loading to improve joint alignment and reduce overuse patterns
Corrective strategies that produce immediate changes in pain, posture, and performance
“I’ve done foot courses before, but this is the first one that made the whole foot make sense.”
— Myotherapist, Sydney
How You’ll Learn It
Online pre-learning: Theory, gait-phase models, and joint mechanics
2-day in-person workshop: Full-body movement labs, assessment, and correction
Clinical workbook: Includes diagrams, assessment flowcharts, and exercise templates
Gait breakdowns: Real-time analysis and joint interactions
Partner practice: Learn by feeling, not just watching
Post-workshop Zoom Q&As: Two follow-up sessions to refine and integrate
Access to Gait & Biomechanics community: Share case studies and questions
We break down advanced biomechanics into simple, repeatable assessments you can use Monday morning—not just theory that gathers dust.
❓ Not Sure If It’s Right for You?
If you’ve ever:
Had a client whose “flat feet” or stiff ankles made no clinical sense
Treated the hip or back pain that kept returning, no matter how much glute strength you gave them
Wondered how the talus moves in gait (and why no one talks about it)
Felt underwhelmed by textbook foot assessments
Suspected the foot was doing something weird, but couldn’t explain it…
…this workshop will give you the tools, clarity, and clinical confidence you’re missing.
What’s This Really About?
It’s not just foot mechanics. It’s about whole-body awareness, better results, and giving your clients the kind of treatment that actually works—because it finally treats the cause.
“You’ll never look at feet—or gait—the same way again.”
