Workshops 2–4: Build Your Biomechanics Toolbox

Each workshop builds on the last, helping you assess and treat the body as an integrated system—from foot to spine.

Workshop 2: Advanced Foot & Limb Mechanics

Refine your footwork and integrate the kinetic chain. This workshop connects the foot to knee, hip, and pelvis dynamics to help you track how movement patterns and dysfunctions travel through the lower limb.

You'll learn to:

• Identify gait compensations like medial knee collapse and hip drop

• Use movement-based interventions that influence whole-chain alignment

• Improve limb coordination and joint timing through wedge placement and motion cues

• Assess alignment dynamically—in real movement, not static checklists

This is your go-to course for cases involving uneven loading, chronic knee pain, hip tightness, or clients stuck in compensation loops that just won't quit.

Workshop 3: Foot & Spinal Mechanics

Explore how the foot drives spinal alignment and postural control. This workshop maps the kinetic chain from the ground to the skull and unpacks how movement (or lack thereof) at the foot can influence thoracic mobility, lumbar compression, and cervical tension.

What you'll gain:

• The ability to trace force and tension through fascial lines

• Techniques to restore structural symmetry from feet to spine

• Mobilisation strategies that address scoliosis patterns, rib-cage torsions, and postural asymmetries

• Clinical applications for persistent back and neck pain that hasn't responded to local treatment

Perfect for clients with unexplained posture issues, recurring spinal tension, or symptoms that never seem to resolve above the ankle.

Workshop 4: Mastering Gait Analysis

The grand finale. In this workshop, you’ll bring everything together into a complete gait assessment and movement retraining system.

You’ll learn to:

• Observe and break down full-body gait patterns

• Use video analysis and pattern recognition to detect compensations

• Understand movement timing and sequencing across all phases of gait

• Identify missing motion and overcompensating segments

• Develop client-friendly language to explain your findings clearly

By the end of this module, you'll walk away with a powerful framework for analysing movement, treating dysfunctions, and communicating your insights with confidence.

‘ I enjoyed the topic and presentation, presented by Riccardo. He did a good job and made sure all participates understood content, going over topics a number of times to make sure we all understood and were comfortable moving on’
